![]() being able to physically touch controls always inspires me that way. but i will say this, i spent alot of time just sitting there enjoying messing with sounds and music. honestly i only owned it for a week so i didnt master it by any means. touch ribbon mod strip was actually pretty cool, surprisingly responsive and accurate. then, if you wanted to really up the anti, crank the super knob. once again, compared to the kurzweil which had just as many controls (minus the yamaha super knob), the yamaha was able to distort the sounds much farther, with the ability to do multiple selections of distortions on one knob or fadar within one instrument. my favorite part of the board was how customizable the sounds were using the on baord controls. the sounds were great honestly, a very nice fullness to them. much more light to the touch, yet equally balanced across the board in a way that allows you to play both piano and multiple other instruments with out feeling like youre having to give up quality feel on one instrument vs the another. I owned a Kurzweil PC3K8 not long before it and the keybed felt much better than the Kurzweil. Now, excluding that personal dilema, it was a fantastic board. so ultimatly i would have just paid $4000 for the keys and mod/ pitch wheel. though, im sure you can still record it using a usual audio out method. it was a great board, but i primarily work with vst instruments for film composing, so it didnt really apply to my work, since you cant run the sounds and effects directly into a DAW as a VSTi (at least not until they release some kind of interface like the Motif xf8 supposedly has). So, I might be the only forum member with a Super-Knob Synth for now, also changed my forum Avatar to the cool Super-Knob. (It doesn't provide control surface functionality for Cubase Pro 8, which you would think would be something they would have done, given that the Montage doesn't have a sophisticated onboard Pattern-Sequencer like the Motif Line).Īnyways.so far no one on this forum has indicated that they are getting. I feel they didn't focus much on the Integration with Cubase Pro 8. I am hoping that Steinberg/Yamaha will bring the Montage Integration closer to Cubase, (Most likely when Cubase Pro 9) is released. The Super Knob is pretty cool, although I have not gotten to program it yet, but I think that alone can keep me busy for years. With the FMX engine the possibilities are quite endless. But, I'm still old-fashioned, and love using, and programming HW Romplers. Given that most of the emphasis here is Sample Libraries, (mostly Kontakt based), a Rompler like the Montage is not the most popular tool around this forum. I'm just beginning my journey of discovering this new marvel from Yamaha. Lots of possibilities for sound design, and a great performance keyboard. ![]() The MONTAGE M8x is Yamaha's first keyboard to offer 88-key Polyphonic Aftertouch, taking players' expressiveness to the next level.I got my Montage 7 just a few days ago, and so far loving it. The MONTAGE M series lineup includes three different models with varying numbers and types of keys for keyboardists to choose from, based on playing style. The intuitive user interface makes it even easier for players to tap into their creativity. Quick sound editing is made possible by swift access to important synthesizer parameters, such as Oscillators, Filters, EG, and Effects. Like the previous series, MONTAGE M synthesizers feature an intuitive touchscreen that's easy on the eyes, but now with an added second display at the upper left. ![]() In combination with the realistic acoustic instrument sounds of the AWM2 engine and the uniquely expressive digital synthesis of the FM-X engine, these three Sound Engines take the already incredibly expressive sound of the MONTAGE series to the next level. New to the hybrid synthesis at the heart of the "Motion Control Synthesis Engine" is Yamaha's AN-X virtual analog synthesis engine, which digitally recreates the warm, expressive sound of an analog synthesizer, while also offering sophisticated modulation. This new MONTAGE M series of synthesizers is the next generation of the MONTAGE series. This was followed up by the MOTIF in 2001, and then in May 2016, Yamaha released its flagship MONTAGE synthesizers, which have been recognized by artists around the world and used in all varieties of music scenes. In 1983, Yamaha's DX7 radically transformed the global music scene with its digital FM synthesis tone generator. Since the debut of the SY-1 in 1974, Yamaha has released a wide variety of synthesizers.
