For clarification, I do not expect to see a MODX/MODX+ successor before late 2025. I assume that there will one eventually. And I think that we can make assumptions based on the previous models.
The MO, MOX, MOXF and MODX had compatible sound engines with their big siblings, including the same sample set and arpeggios. Based on that, I expect that a MODX successor would include the AN-X engine and 10 GB preset waveforms for AWM2. Due to the hardware architecture, the latter would imply two SWP70s, and presumably also 2x 128 voice stereo polyphony for AWM2.
On the other hand, Yamaha has to reduce the cost somewhere (and also create some artificial limitations). I expect no second screen, and no additional knobs and buttons. Everything that does not require a dedicated physical controller has to be done from the touch screen.
