If this ever happens within this generation, it would be similar to the previous "special" releases, such as the white Motif Xf and white Montage, probably two or three years after the original release.Ideally when Yamaha officially announces the M OS update (this month?) they will also give some hint as to whether or not the M6/M7 will be getting PAT versions in which case an M6X would be my board of choice.
You seem to have missed a great deal of Yamaha's history, at least in this century and their products/sales patterns. Ever since the release of Motif series, there's always been a follow-up model, cheaper, lighter, mainstream, making a lot of sales (and profit).Nah. It's not gonna happen.
They've learnt their lesson.
The MODX only served to diminish sales (and perceived value) of the MUCH more profitable model.
You don't become the "every third musical instrument on this planet is made by us" company by selling overpriced high-end models only. No, it's a product like MODX, which was the top seller in its range for two years (if not more) that makes the profit, makes the fuss, makes all the communities talk about it and puts your logo on most stages and videos.
It's not a question that there will be a MODX successor, the only unknown is when exactly.
