Re: New Yamaha Montage M8x, M7 and M6
I agree that it is an odd choice, not to include polyphonic after touch into the six and seven. However, I had a synthesizer with polyphonic after touch (Ensoniq VFX) for close to 35 years and personally I feel that it is overrated. At least for me it was incredibly difficult to play different notes...

Re: Yamaha Montage Replacement!
Couldn't agree more with Derek. My Montage has exceptional build quality (also 2017, I believe). Did not have a single issue with it although it is heavily used. In the past I had hardware issues with my Ensoniq VFX, my Nord Piano and various other synths. Nothing with the Montage. I did have a keyb...

Re: Yamaha Montage Replacement!
The MODX definitely has this, the difference is just in the amount of parts the old and new performances can have before it is disabled.

Re: Montage/MODX Major OS Update Prediction 2021
Just a FYI: several features I ideated or upvoted on Ideascale just changed stage. One was the MOXF successor which changed to “completed”. Of course… The other was SSS scenes which changed to “assessment”. Personally I think it was already fulfilled in an earlier update. But also the idea to keep t...

Re: performances on MODX8 play so bad I think I'm going to sell it
I don’t think that anotherscott meant that different MODX 8 have different keys. But they are not graded. That means that the upper keys don’t have resistance as in the Montage. So to rectify that, you would be different velocity curves for the upper keys than for the lower ones.

Re: performances on MODX8 play so bad I think I'm going to sell it
I have the Montage 6 and the MODX 8. I really like both keybeds and get along very well. I tried the MODX 6 keybed and found it really awful. Same as that of the MOXF which I sold because of the keybed. So I guess this is really a matter of taste... I think having them use the same libraries was the...

Re: MODX8 Polyphony Issue - HELP -
I think anotherscott nailed it. Volume down does not help because in theory you could fade in and then you would expect the voices to sound as if they were triggered at key down. So being aware of multiple parts is the key to avoiding cutoffs. Still, I have a MODX and a Montage, and they behave diff...

Re: Yamaha MODX Noisy Keys?
Yamaha MODX6-7 keybed. Please, can anyone help me in regard to the quality feel of the MODX keybed! I've heard some reports of noisy keys, or side wobble, etc., that has me concerned if the keybed of the MODX leaves something to be desired and should be corrected by Yamaha. I expect to purchase a M...

Re: Sustain Pedal
Hi, The MODX does not require the pedal to be plugged in when powering up. That’s generally only the case for keyboards which can change the way the pedal works. In that case they assume that the pedal is not depressed when they are switched on and thus they can infer the type of pedal from that. MO...

Re: Yamaha MODX Noisy Keys?
Some thoughts about the quality: I have a Montage 6 and a MODX 8. Especially the Montage was / is in heavy usage, being transported in a soft bag a lot. The quality of the Montage is just awesome. Best instrument I ever had in terms of features, sound, firmware updates and ... quality. It is very st...

Re: Live Set became uneditable
I am fairly new to this keyboard, so maybe. I’ve been pretty frustrated with this keyboard in regards to its filing system. If I did move it to a library, what does that mean and can I fix it? To move it to a library you would have to export the user memory into a library on a USB stick. Then load ...

Re: modx performance selection 1-8///9-16
Hi,
There are many more than 16 performances, it’s several thousands. Selecting performances can be done in several ways, including the search dialog or live sets. But that’s something which is easy to see once you have the instrument.
What is the question you want to answer really?
