Yamaha please wake up and realize you have the BEST instrument in the Montage M but only have French and German speaking evangililists? The Montage M (M8x) is incredible but we have people that struggle to explain it, selling it. WAKE UP! And the biggest market is? DUH! Wake the hell up! Bring back ...

In case you missed it, Montage M OS 2.01 was released -

Happy with the 2.0 update particularly the updated ESP. Yamaha please let us use the ESP to manage our library (rename and organize patches) and transmit to the hardware.

Montage M8x Firmware 1.22 Logic 10.8.1 Mac OS 14.4.1 Mac AUDIO/MIDI is setup properly. No Logic Environment settings. Montage M8x, setup via Logic: 1.

Truly appreciate Phil’s reply not sure it applies to my issue of an EXTERNAL INSTRUMENT assignment in LOGIC, not the M8x. The M8x is in local off mode, with the Logic MCU via Montage M Port 2 in/out and DAW Remote. Somehow, I still get MIDI echo until I change the Logic track assignment from EXTERNA...

FYI

I submitted a support ticket at usa.yamaha.com/support but could not do so using Safari, I had to submit via Chrome on the Yamaha website...very odd.

I'm experiencing a similar issue. Montage M8x, setup via Logic. 1. M8x setup properly in Logic as a Mackie controller, using Montage M Port 2 for in/out 2. M8x setup as External Instrument using MIDI Destination Montage M Port 1 3. M8x in "MIDI Rec on DAW" mode from M8x Quick Setup Menu - ...

4. Didn't realize the keyboard is more geared for live musicians and not Studio production. Not sure I can agree with this, I bought mine specifically for studio production, and I find it no less capable as a virtual instrument controller than any other board designed to be a controller. Additional...

I'm using Mac OS 14.4 and Montage M firmware 1.22. No issues here but I use a USB stick from this list.

Same “Communication Error” issue here using a Mac Studio, Logic and M8x. The plugin works great in Logic but ESP/Montage sync is clearly an issue.

Already did that... several Yamaha synth specialists do frequent these pages and hoping to move it up the corporate inbox queue.

I do appreciate the updates, content and links posted on the yamahasynth.com site. Please note that the "Synth Tips" link from the Montage Expanded main page generates a page not found error. Montage Expanded page = https://yamahasynth.com/learn/montage-m/expanding-montage-m/ Synth Tips (e...

Yup...I hope the same. I'm very happy and impressed with my Montage M8x but the Yamaha corporate resources seem to be asleep at the switch to support the M with easily obtainable documentation, support and tutorials. Yes, I can get regular youtube videos from Joel at Moessieurs who does more than Ya...

We know there is a far amount of overlap from the previous Montage to the new Montage M but the M has many new features, layout, workflow and UI. I’m hopeful Yamaha will update their video tutorials specific to the Montage M. The official resources for the M seem to haphazardly available in few plac...
