Well here we go again.
I’m back at the MODX, switching it on with absolutely no plan and just seeing where it takes me.
And I’ve got to tell you… these things are just fun machines.
There’s something about the MODX M series that invites this kind of playing. No setup, no pressure, no need to know what you’re doing. You just start.
So I thought I’d capture exactly that.
No structure, no script… just 20 minutes of seeing where it goes.
If watching that has you thinking “I quite fancy a go at this…”, just below you’ll find a quick part-exchange form.
Pop in what you’ve currently got and your email address, and we’ll come back to you with a personalised quote to upgrade.
Simple, no pressure… just a way to see what’s possible.
What struck me straight away is how quickly it pulls you in.
You land on a sound and it’s not just “nice”… it makes you play differently. You hold notes longer, you try things you didn’t expect, you start exploring without really thinking about it.

And then of course… you get the slightly weird noises.
But even those have a place. They push you somewhere new, and that’s often where the fun really starts.
It’s easy to assume a keyboard like this is going to be complicated.
But honestly, some of the best moments come from not knowing. Just pressing things, turning a knob, switching a sound, and seeing what happens.
That “switch on and go” feeling is something Yamaha have really nailed with the MODX M range. Whether it’s the M6, M7 or M8, they all meet you where you are. You can go deep if you want to, but you don’t have to.
If you’re coming from a Genos or PSR-SX, this feels like stepping into a different lane. Not replacing what those instruments do, but opening things up. Less structure, more exploration. More freedom to follow an idea wherever it goes.
And that’s where this really shines.
If you’ve got a keyboard at home that you’re not quite connecting with anymore, it might be worth exploring a change.
And again, that part-exchange form just below the video is the easiest place to start. Tell us what you’ve got, and we’ll come back to you with a clear idea of your options.
Because sometimes the best playing happens when you don’t have a plan at all.
