I could test the Softsynth Plugin E.S.P without using it or without being connected to the Montage's usb audio, do the test with an external asio sound interface to see what the latency and total polyphony are like, because here with my Saffire 6 asio drive it's current win10 os sounds keep making loud noises even though the latency increases, the processor is 14 cores xeon 2680 AVX2 32 gigabytes of ram SSD NVME I have already reinstalled the drive and it only works for a while and the crackles and noises return in sounds with layers, I don't know if it is incompatibility with the Focurite's asio drive but with other VSTs it works perfectly with polyphony of 256 notes or more with a latency of 2 milliseconds or Yamaha needs to improve this E.S.P Softsynth Plugin further.

damn, thats a huge difference between the two.

Thanks for the video. Next time make sure you laptop display does not reflect the window across the room. As for difference between the real one and vst - I could not tell because of your playing. Could you ask a real musician to demo this plugin?

Thank so much for videoo

Great video! Thanks for showing! :)

The structure of the vst plugin sound library is not clear to me. Even saving a simple preset is a problem for me, I can't find the way... And I see that the number of banks is limited. Can someone give me a video or a link to a page where I can learn about organizing and using the plugin library? Yes.. And I would also be interested in midi learn... thanks...

I bought this plugin and I don't want to buy Montage M anymore, the sounds are just great!

It sounds identical because it's digital 😉

👌

One thing is for sure when comparing the Yamaha Genos with the Korg Pa5X and that is they are both excellent keyboards but annoyingly, with few exceptions, most reviewers cherrypick the features they want to compare instead of demonstrating all the features each keyboard has to offer. I'm a gigging musician and use predominantly Roland stage keyboards for live performances purely because of the reliability this manufacturer has given me over the years. But I digress. A few years ago I inherited a Yamaha Tyros 5 from an old friend and upgraded to a Genos when that became available. I've only ever used the Genos as a studio creative tool alongside Apple's Logic Pro DAW. I recently part exchanged my Yamaha Genos for a Korg Pa5X after extensive testing of the features of both Genos 2 and Korg Pa5X keyboards which sadly most reviewers of these keyboards completely ignore. I wish I had explored this opportunity when the Pa5X first hit the market. The sounds of the Pa5X are phenomenal and the styles are modern and refreshing but more importantly for me is that the Pa5X offers far more instant access to editing features via button and screen features than the Genos 2. For me the Pa5X is a far superior instrument when compared to the Genos 2 and is pitched more at the professional musician who wants to delve more into editing where as the Genos is seen more of an instrument for the home enthusiast. My opinion is of cause subjective based on my personal expectations and requirements. The most important consideration for anyone buying either of these excellent keyboards is to check out physically in a music shop every feature of both manufacturers and make your choice. Avoid basing your decision on reviewers who just cherry pick features.

Seems like fantom with ex has the the better sounding Jupiter and juno acb models, nzyme synth, supernatural engine and sampling and analog filter. The controls on Jupiter-x change and still menu dive on a small screen. With the fantom you have large color touch screen I cant see any advantage to jupiter-x other than i-arpeggiator and save a few $$

thank you.

do i need yo have the montage to get the VST version?

thank you for this video

It sounds fantastic! But I didn't understand most of it.... congrats to all you music scientists that can make this sound beautiful.

Do they pack this keyboard appropriately for its size and weight? Thinking about ordering it from sweetwater. Just nervous about shipping such a big keyboard!

The Neo has a horrific keybed! I wish reviews would mention this, but they're all afraid to say anything negative about it!

With this update would you recommend this over the montage if you could only buy 1 board?

i’m an owner of a roland system-8 and love the sounds it produces. That being said, the keyboard and build quality is nothing compared to the Fantom. Not to mention the extra keys.

As far as more controls, you can add the Korg nano kontrol studio via usb and sit it right on the left side

Not really overpriced if you want the realtime controls. No one seems to care about that but it’s the most important feature for me. Nautilus is a tragedy due to small screen and lack of controls.

Thanks video is great but I am still confused between Fantom and m6 can you tell why not Fantom and why montage ?

Are you a millionaire, cause those keyboards in total costs something like 30000€ or even more?

How can I move this vst from one laptop to another. My system crashed how do I instal it into another computer

Amazing! Do you have an original M1 to compare the sounds to?

1.Roland, 2 Korg, 3.Yamaha

You get hammer action keys i believe, pretty big difference

The M8X is probably the best keyboard on the market today. That certainly doesn't mean other keyboards are bad, but the M8X is just next level.

Still, this keyboard has a lot of issues with midi is not in sync properly with the other accompaniments especially when you insert a sample loop in drum or percussion track

Hi I want to buy one of these keyboard. I am blind so I need all the buttons I can get so which do you recommend me to get

I was thinking maybe put the control panel to the left so your laptop can go in the middle.

This man is telling me im broke wothout even saying it, look ar all them expensive keys he got 😂

It would be great if the Fantom finally got an I Arp, or some editable independent arpeggio that can be set for all 16 Zones. It would throw a lot at the Fantom's abilities. The sound is very fine, but the Juno X basics demonstrate its potential very well. I hope that Roland will finally add I arp or a more advanced arpeggio. I've been waiting for this for years. Because of this, I think Montage M solves this issue much better. Now I'm waiting for a Montage M7, hopefully it will arrive in Europe soon. I think all synthesizers have the things that make us love them. I also have a Korg Nautilus, and the AL-1 engine is amazingly good at programming sounds. It can reproduce many of the sounds found in Fantom very realistically. I programmed a couple for Nautilus. The Juno 106, Jupiter 8, and JX8p sound very similar to the sounds found in the Fantom.

I love my Fantom. Both great boards, sounds good!

Its a great keyboard if you just want to play other people's songs!

Hi, can the Super Know be automated (midi automation)?

Montage M ESP using in other DAWs, as Korg or Roland???

They should release this vst to the people who don't own a montage

I'm deciding which to buy between the two at this exact moment! Price is a slight factor, the Montage being around $1400 more

Can you connect Genos2 and Montage m8x together, so you can play styles from genos with left hand and sounds from montage with right hand?

You got a good job hahaha

I think it was better to compare sounds, without style

Thanks sharing your setup , that's a nice one 👍🏻 The Nautilus looks great to me , the new grey edition is so beautiful 😦 The Fantom seems to be a very good one too . What a great period we live for synths ...

👍

Hello sir, Nicely explained. I need your expert advice on Fantom8. I have a Roland RD2000 and I am getting Roland Fantom8 for around $3000 from one of store. I love the PHA50 key action although it’s not the best one action but it’s definitely good for any serious piano player. I know that price around $3000 is amazing. Only thing I am missing on Fantom8 is combination sounds like Korg Kronos and Yamaha Montage has also not so impressive on guitars on Fantom but I have a many vsti and I am happy with the vsti sounds. My confusion is whether I go with the Fantom8 or not? Also one more thing as a piano player I love the key action of Kawai MP11se but that’s a very different instrument love the piano sound and key action of Kawai MP11se. I am more of a piano oriented person but at the same I love the synth sounds too Fantom has very impressive synth sounds definitely not like a dedicated synth but any day better than a vsti. It would be great if you can give your expert opinion. Thank you so much 🙏❤

Dreams Sweet Dreams Man! Lucky You! Best Regards!

May be your preferences is for yamaha montage but if find someone who can explain about roland you can hear different thing

I wonder how it sounds compare to other VST like Kontakt etc… Have you tried that ?

Nice review! Which key action do you prefer more?
