Re: No retail version of Yamaha's ESP Montage VST
Yamaha does have a history of software products/plugins that are offered as an added value to specific hardware. AS much as it saddens me to see that done to Montage M, it's not unexpected.

Re: Will the MODX get the new "M" UI?
Still 4 part SSS and only 12 total insert effects as opposed to 19 (which is meaningless to me for my use). Well, it's 13 dual inserts for MODX(+) (12 parts + A/D input) against 17 for Montage (16 parts + A/D input), but the real question here is if MODX(+) already can handle 12 part inserts, why S...

Re: Will the MODX get the new "M" UI?
There are a few weird ideas in this topic, the first one is that if a product does not get more firmware updates it is discontinued. This is essentially wrong. There are products on the market sold for decades that never see any updates. MODX+ is not a new product, it was a refresh of the MODX that ...

Re: Problem adding insert effects to drums
Hey, I don't have the new M, but I guess it's not much different from the original Montage on this.
Note that you need to select how each and every drum key connects to the Insert effects. Check the screenshot below, should be similar on the M.

Re: Montage M availability in EU?
Thanks to Hans-Peter Henkel, I have an official answer from Yamaha Music Europe, which states that "MONTAGE M is sold exclusively via Yamaha Agent network (of which Thomann is actually not a member). The sale takes place in the name and on behalf of Yamaha Music Europe GmbH and under Yamaha's g...

Re: Montage M availability in EU?
This is the response I received from the official Yamaha Keyboards distributor in Bulgaria (translated to English for the sake of your sanity): "There is huge interest in the new MONTAGE M. MONTAGE M models are still in very small quantities for Europe and will only be available from authorized...

Re: Montage M availability in EU?
It's not just about Thomann, it seems that Montage M is currently exclusively available in US and UK only, people already post pictures of their synths delivered by Sweetwater on day one. On top of that Yamaha Music Europe does not have anything about it on their Facebook and YouTube pages, it's lik...

Montage M availability in EU?
Hey guys, I know it's just day 2, but there are some disturbing news about the distribution of the Montage M in the EU. A FB user posted an official email from Thomann stating they will not be selling it because Yamaha decided to sell the model directly (whatever that means). On the Music Store shop...

Re: New Yamaha Montage M8x, M7 and M6
It appears that Roland might have added a tone generator/processor chip in the Fantom just for the V-Piano alone..!? It will be unfortunate if Yamaha didn't add a new processor this for the AN-X engine and it ends up being limited to 16 notes... The tone generation of V-Piano (physical modeling) an...

Re: New Yamaha Montage M8x, M7 and M6
If the polyphony is indeed this low, it will probably be a deal breaker for me. In 2023 I'd expect more. I think people simply overestimated what AN-X will bring. Most VA synths out there don't go over 8 voices (Nord Lead A1 and Hydrasynth Deluxe are the only ones I can think of) and for analog one...

Re: New Yamaha Montage M8x, M7 and M6
This after all is exactly the kind of uninformed opinion, and misinformation that has been spreading around the music industry and over the Internet for years. Sadly many have unwittingly adopted it as a defacto truth. :confusion-confused: Man, you jump to conclusions way too fast and way too far, ...

Re: New Yamaha Montage M8x, M7 and M6
Only thing wrong with Scott's video here is he is wrong about the demo sound not being able to be produced by either the AWM2 engine, or the FM-X engine and that therefore they must have been produced by the AN1X engine. :ugeek: It might be the case that some of the demo sounds were in fact produce...

Re: MODX firmware uprade to MODX+
We now have a user (thank you, Mike Karina!) who confirmed that swapping the MODX mainboard with MODX+ one works flawlessly. He also took pictures of both boards for those who might have questioned the authenticity of my web collected pics comparison earlier: 378147352_10160108394761448_620621217882...
