The idea is to set up motion sequences that are triggered by whatever the musician plays on the keys such that the sound is transformed and evolves. Control changes are synchronized with the Super Knob and they are synchronized with keyboard performance. There is not a lot of technical content, but the video does provide a back story on motion control and motion sequencing. One of these videos is the “Montage Development Story.” It’s about eighteen minutes long, showing the developers while they talk about their creation. There are now tons of Yamaha sponsored YouTube videos, too. A little French might have slipped in here. The synthesizer sounds are named: Side Chain, Journey Within, EP Goes, Tech FM, FM Lead, Universe, Couleur Life, 4 Pads, Soft Pads, FM Pads and Astral. The demo’ed acoustic sounds are named: CFX Concert, Seattle Section, Seattle Violin, Organ AMP, B3 Curved, Folk Guitar, Electric Guitar, Modern Guitar, Choir Ensemble, Drum & Bass, Trumpet (muted), and saxophone (untitled). Sud Claviers post some of the best demo videos around and were the first ones out of the blocks this morning. They better fix up some of the ambiguous language on their Web pages. I don’t think Yamaha is bundling one of those with the Montage. Yamaha also announced a Bösendorfer 280 VC concert grand piano (MSRP: $219,999). Oh, Montage will ship in May 2016.īut, wait! There’s more! “Be a Montage Early Adopter and get a Free Montage Motion Control Pedal Pack!” All of the details are on this page at the US Yamaha site. Yamaha is bundling the Bösendorfer Imperial Premium Grand Piano sound library as an introductory promotion to drive early adopters. The Motif Fully Loaded offer is good to the end of March 2016. The street price will probably remain high until the current Motif XF inventory clears. Well, we have to get the question of money out of the way sometime: The best new resource on the Montage is the latest issue of the Yamaha Music Production Guide. Here are a few links to start your day and mine.
