Re: I created an 8 part, AWM2 performance containing 128 elements and...

Right but what's the point in supporting 128 elements then? Montage introduced multi-part single instruments, which allowed single sounds to break the 8-element barrier. So for example, CFX concert took up 4 Parts with 18 elements. But there were issues. It's a conceptual complication. It complicat...

FYI, the second and third listings in the OP are the identical item, the same store posted it for sale on both reverb and ebay.

Re: How do I record an entire MODX performance into a single midi track using Cubase?

I think the answer may be to use Hybrid mode. I believe it allows you to combine one "multi-part" sound on a single channel, with other single part sounds each on their own channel.

Re: question about output levels from TRS jacks

Regardless of the connector used, in general, all main outs of a board should mirror each other in level controls, while assignable outs will be independent. That said, as I understand it, 3-wire balanced connections (XLR/TRS) do provide a slightly hotter signal than 2-wire (TS)--assuming that you a...

Re: YC that nobody cares about

I have loved my YC73 but now with the M8x & Korg PA5x together it basically serves no purpose anymore. The advantages of the YC73 would be having the best organ of the three, and a bit of a friendlier layout for real-time split/layer and effects manipulations, and for having more gig-friendly w...

Re: AN-X mono analog sounds

Ooh... here ya' go... even though they're miming to the recording, you can see exactly how the keyboard player is approaching the minimoog part... and that (non-legato) approach is the only one that will get that sound out of that instrument (and based on my understanding of what you posted, would a...

Re: AN-X mono analog sounds

When programming a mono synth sound for the Bridge descending melody for Feel's Like The First Time: The Filter articulation just isn't quite right. I set the AN-X part to Mono... and it's automatically "Legato" for the Filter and Amplifier. I don't see a means to change/address this. In ...

Re: Assignable footswitch MODX plus

also, in general, it's worth remembering that a foot switch (which has two values, on or off) cannot function as a direct replacement for a mod wheel (which can have up to 128 values from full off to full on).

Re: Double MODX rig - but the organs...

You can also take advantage of the single-cable MIDI+audio interface of the MODX and very easily add great organ from your iPhone or iPad, if you have one. (It would work for Mainstage too, but that's a little more of a hassle to carry around and set up than an iPhone/iPad would be.) Android phones ...

Re: Need help deciding on modx

While the CK would be much easier to learn and in some ways better for live (and maybe it can be adjusted to sound better), it would not be as easy (or even possible) to fix the GHS keybed issue on the CK88 as it would be on the MODX8. :think: With the MODX8, to help fix the GHS keybed velocity iss...

Re: Need help deciding on modx

Hi all, I'm in the market for an 88 key keyboard for piano first but also for synth sounds and I keep flip flopping back and forth between a CK88 and Modx8+. Now I know these keyboards are totally different in their capabilities but they both have the same acoustic piano sounds Are you sure they ha...

Re: MODX Quirks

it is possible to use part 1 for a MODX-internal sound, and part 2 for controlling an external device. The first slider will control the volume of the internal sound and the second slider the volume of the external device. Both parts need keyboard control enabled, and the second part need to be con...

Re: MODX Quirks

You might argue that this was a "quirky" decision for Yamaha to take (I.e. not facilitating their use as MIDI Controllers). However, all considered, the complexity of the MODX/Montage likely influenced their decision to partition them away from MIDI Control, and keep them as strictly 1 to...

Re: MODX Quirks

That means it is not really possible to control the volume of an external device with a volume slider, without affecting the volume of the corresponding internal part. I'm not sure I understand your scenario, but it sounds like you want a way to stop a slider from affecting an internal sound that i...
