Fixed a problem in which the Super knob would not work after power-on. Fixed a problem in which all buttons, sliders, and knobs on the panel would not work after power-on. ![]() Pedal fuctions such as sustain and sostenuto have been improved to reproduce realistic acoustic piano sound. Arp Bypass and Kbd Ctrl Lock functions have been added for "Effect Switch." Flags (tone generation attributes of Performance) can now be automatically set and displayed. Knob Brightness setting can now be stored. Live Set display can now be displayed during Audio playback. MOTIF XS data (X0A, X0V, X0G, and X0W) can now be loaded to MONTAGE. The MONTAGE Connect computer application is now supported. You can now copy or exchange between Live Sets in different Banks on a page basis. You can now copy or exchange Motion Sequences. You can now copy or exchange Arpeggio Types. You can now control the Super Knob by MIDI Control Change messages. Monitor Volume settings for USB connection have been added. You can now separately mute original Parts and newly added Parts by Performance Merge. Song Loop playback function has been added. You can now store Control Function settings as Performance data. Element / Operator Control has been added for "Control Function." And finally (unlike the Motif XF), there's no direct sampling or multi-track sequencing, just a bare-bones 16 track 'recorder' with basic editing (hence the 'Music Synthesizer' label vs the Motif's 'Music Production Synthesizer' label).- Switching time between Performances has been reduced. Thirdly, we would have also liked to have seen the superb 'spectral component modelling' sounds/engine from the Reface CP and CP4 included, as they have some killer EPs, clavs and Wurlis onboard that often rival or surpass the ones onboard the Montage. ![]() Secondly, while AWM2 does a great job, there's still no dedicated virtual analogue mode and it would have been great to have the killer-sounding modelled analogue engine from the Reface CS included (which feels more analogue-like than AWM2 does). We'd really like to see Yamaha launch some new performance templates where the set-up and routing for drawbars and percussion/vibrato is all done/ pre-wired. ![]() Now some 'to-be-aware-ofs'! Firstly, there's no dedicated 'clonewheel engine' and, though there's a pretty tweakable rotary-effect and some good-sounding B3 emulations onboard, if you want the eight faders to operate as drawbars you have to set them up manually which is time-consuming. Also note that Montage is backwards compatible with Motif XF AWM2 voices too.įinally, you can drop your performances into 'live sets' for easy selection and the slick 'category search' function makes it easy to put performances and live sets together quickly from the 1,000s of presets/ user sounds available. You can also import your own 44/48kHz WAV samples from a USB stick and use them as you would any other element and there's 1.75GB of user flash memory, so once imported you can hold your samples/third-party libraries in memory for instant loading and retention after powering down. The acoustic guitars are also killer (especially combined with the arpeggiator) and the strings, brass and woodwinds are very inspiring. Yamaha's acoustic sounds are also beautiful here and the CFX/ Bösendorfer grands sound gorgeous, the clavinets are now more authentic and the EP 'gallery' performances are great. Overall sound quality is stunning wide, clean and precise with enough warmth and sheen. This is the best workstation I have had, it is possible to develop its performance and to develop myself
