Like the M6, the new model has an FSB semi-weighted keyboard, eight faders and scene selection buttons. Through part parameters, these buttons control arpeggio on/off, motion sequences, Super Knob position, reverb and other functions. Like the entire MODX M range, the synthesizer offers expanded quick editing, key hold and portamento control.

The main addition to the range is the AN-X analog modeling engine, with three oscillators, PWM and oscillator sync, alongside the existing AWM2 and FM-X engines. Other features include ring and frequency modulation; two filters with 10 types; a waveshaper; a wavefolder; adjustable Voltage Drift and Aging; 10 GB of AWM2 preset waves from the MONTAGE M; 1.9 GB of user waveform memory; compatibility with existing MONTAGE content; and the Expanded Softsynth Plugin (ESP), due in early 2026.
