Thank you for your time making this video, I clicked "like" but honestly it felt quite weird to watch... mainly the presenter sitting opposite felt like a little daughter done something really bad at school and her daddy was telling her off... Also most of the questions she was asking felt a lot robotic and not really natural. I meant the way she was asking these question... the video didn't feel interactive or fun to watch... Sorry but this is how it felt.

Question: If you can "mirror" your sounds on the VST does that mean you can take any controller keyboard and run it through say, Mainstage and have the sounds available? Being able to have the show set up in both worlds would allow for fly gigs without worrying about TSA destroying the Montage. Currently I have a Kronos and this is where it falls down. Nothing exists in VST format that allows easy transfer of sounds to the Mac for use on the road.

Hi great video...how do you use the FC7 expression pedal to control voices assigned to it ..e.g im using a piano on fader #1...strings on fader #2 how do i get control the strings only but can still use the faders to adjust the levels ? When i try it ,ut does not work what am i missing smh

Here's hoping the MODX+ gets the AN-X through a firmware upgrade down the road as has been rumored. I'd just replace the mainboard in my MODX with the MODX+ mainboard and flash the firmware goodness.

He mentioned CS-80 which was still superior in some ways to this. The CS-80 had a long ribbon controller like on the Hydrasynth. IMO they should have put a long ribbon and a CS-80 model inside so you could do the Bladerunner type of sounds authentically. And it has not sample and groocebox and chord making tools like the Fantom, definitely needs that sort of thing.

@Jason75913 9 ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people picking up a Montage don't care for Bladerunner, especially the ones wanting the 88-key version, and I can tell you that a noticeable number of them may even be haters of electronica, too. Nevertheless, there's just enough folks interested in synthesizer sounds that Yamaha threw in the ANX VA engine just to entice synth lovers, but they'll never go all the way for CS80 enthusiasts.

@Strop311964 8 ай бұрын

Just hook it up to Cherry Audio's GX-80 and you've got both CS-80 and GS-1. I'm both a huge Yamaha fan (had Motif XS8, Montage 8 and now Montage M8x) and Vangelis fan (particularly Bladerunner/Chariots of Fire era) and the Cherry synths are fire.

@akibe7608 6 ай бұрын

I used to "hate" commentors who would come into threads on forums or comment sections on YT saying they rather have a midi-controller and VSTs. Well, I have become that guy. For 4k, I'm expecting a lot more than these flagship synths and workstations offer. The technology exists for these boards to be much more capable and better sounding, and they give us boring upgrades each time they release a new flagship.

FROM A BEAT MAKER/PRODUCER PERSPECTIVE: I tried it out at Guitar Center and it was underwhelming (for me). I'm a multi-timbral producer on an MPC and it's no different than the MODX in that regard. In multi mode, the "Super Knob" doesn't work, only the filters, same as MODX, there's DRASTIC volume levels when combing thru sounds, same as MODX. If you're a live player or a sound designer, go for it but only if you don't have a Montage or MODX already. Oh, the workflow has changed a bit too. If you're trying to be a hitmaker, just take the sounds from it and keep it moving. If you're trying to score film, make packs, perform live and be complex, this is for you.

It seems to me that this upgraded version is more akin to an enhanced MODX rather than an upgraded Montage. The previous Montage had a fuller and superior sound. Yamaha may have made compromises to keep costs low with this new release. I'm still frustrated that they discontinued the original Montage so quickly, only to introduce this inferior model. The initial excitement surrounding this new release will fade soon. I question how practical these new and improved sounds will be in real-life playing situations. Some of the enhancements were intended for studio use, but there are already superior virtual instruments available that could rival these upgraded voices. Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and will consider purchasing a used Montage classic instead of this "improvised" version.

@DiegoDourado 9 ай бұрын

I disagree. I think this version sounds better with more features and new sounds. I personally prefer to buy this one than the original. The improvements look great.

@craigbroadfoot1851 8 ай бұрын

I have a completely different opinion. The original Montage had a flawed DAC that had way too much treble, particularly through a PA, and pianos in particular were too artificial sounding. The Motif sounds better! I’m hopeful that the new DAC / analog output in the Montage M will make it sound much better than the original Montage.
