Ok, I'll take a stab at it with my best guess ![;)]( "Wink")
I think the MODX+ replacement (I'll call it the 'MOM') will likely have the following basic specs:
- User Memory 1.75 GB (same as the MODX+)
- AWM2 128 Note Polyphony (same as the MODX+)
- FM-X 128 Note Polyphony (same as the MODX+)
- Same Keybeds as the MODX+
- No aftertouch (same as the MODX+)
- Lower grade digital converter, same as the one that's in the MODX+, but perhaps they enhance it a bit like they did on the Montage M going from PAC to PAC2
- Price will be close to the MODX+, but likely a few hundred more
- No E.S.P.
New Features on the MOM synth:
- AN-X Engine with 8 Note Polyphony & all the same functionality as on the Montage M
- Preset Performances and Waveforms - It will have all the same as are on the Montage M, including all the new pianos
- It will have the extra screen on the top left and most of the new improved navigation, except it will only have 4 sliders, 4 knobs, 4 Scene buttons like on the MODX+, but it will 'Not' have the 16 buttons on the right Category and Live Set navigation.
- It will have all the new features like the new Organ Rotary effect, Draw Bar reversal, new Shimmer Reverb & effects
- It will have the same new Ribbon that's in the Montage M with the same functionality for with the new Organ Rotary effect.
They will need to cut everything they can in order to be able to add the AN-X, the new Organ Rotary effects, the extra memory for the new Preset Waveforms/Performances, and to have most of the same functionality as the Montage M. So my guess is that it will have a single SWP70 tone generator like in the MODX+, but they will add the same new processor & fan for the AN-X.
That's what I think it will have. Will that be enough to create the sales power that the MODX classic had, as well as trade-ups from the MODX/MODX+ ..!?![:think:]( "Think")
Time will tell, but IMHO adding the AN-X engine, all the new functionality/effects, the enhanced navigation & menus, and all those new Waveforms/Performances, especially all the numerous new pianos (plus any new features they add to the Montage M in OS 2.5) I think a great number of people will be hungry for all of those at half the price & weight of the Montage M...![;)]( "Wink")
