Hi Yamaha Team. I wish I had not bought the first Montage model and waited till this second Montage model came out. Because I must say it’s a hugh upgrade and much easier to use. Greatings Jacob.
Poly Aftertouch in the M6 and M7 would have made this series perfect IMO, as it should be more of a synth feature than a piano feature, but I'll see if I can save up for the M8 by the time the next series comes out! 😅
@@MaladarGamingNot a deal beaker? 61 & 76 are downgraded keyboards, you cant expressively play everything on them as they showed on m8x, no wonder they didn't show m6 & m7 in the demos
@judsonchristudas In the official launch video the show both the 61 and 88 key, but u probably missed that while u were raging about it. You dont have to buy it dude, just move on with your life.
@@X22GJP They could probably extend the model range to include PolyAT on smaller models if there will be demand for that (add “x” models). And it seems strange because you rarely need Poly AT on “grand piano” type of keybed (remember Ensoniq TS10/12 - the smaller one had Poly AT, while the larger one one did not).
Why no Poly-Aftertouch on 61 & 76 models? That's a silly decision Yamaha, after waiting these many years. Why literally made it a big deal for 88? Many of us prefer 76 keys. Please don't say things such as without GEX Hammer Action, you can't have Poly-AT. Please learn from the "Waldorf - Iridium Synthesizer", it has a synth action keybed and still got Polyphonic-AfterTouch. The keys are already shorter on the M6 & M7 and Montage 7 & 6 and now no Poly-AT. Total disappointment Yamaha. We cant get the M7 and M6 to use their full potential...... Such a shame.
Could always buy a Hydrasynth Deluxe and M6 for a little more. Gaining you poly AT and another 16 voice synth. Crazy they didn’t add Poly AT to the 7 though
Maybe they think they can sell more 88key versions that way?...kind of a lame strategy if it was true. But then again, in the demos of the 88key version i don't find the poly at thát much of a deal-maker/breaker to me, sound wise its not thát obvious, for what i heard in the demo's of the m8x...its a of a bit overhyped function in my opinion...(got the m6 instead, more compact design, and not needing a forklift to get it up the stairs 😅)
@@TheEdwin73 It's a flop keyboard compared to the original Montage, they had 7 years to bring significant improvements on the instrument but they didn't. And the offset screen on the M6 was a design flow compared to M7, M8x, Original Monrage series and all motif series. Never in my life I have seen an offset display on an Yamaha keyboard.
@@TheEdwin73 If you're enjoying it, then only that matters mate. I was just nitpicking and also a bit frustrated because Yamaha's decision making processes.
@@YouKilledYourMaster nord- actual life like sampling of pianos- lots of different character based options, with sampled noises, organic tone etc. I've owned Motif Rack ES and soundwise there's nothing really developed from those days
Sooooo super great to hear of the announcement of the new Yamaha Genos 2 which will be introduced to the World on November 15th 2023. The agonising wait is finally over. Yamaha is great ti surprise all those that could waiter such pro products that would literally be flagships
5.000 $ for the M8 🤣 Why not 6000 Or 7000 ? Seriously, comparing the Montage with the Montage M specs and the huge gap of prices between the both, I will never replace my Montage with this one. This price range is a complete nonsense... ☹️
I like the direction where Montage line is going… Polyphonic aftertouch on M8x is good to hear, AN-X engine (finally!), 128-element (layer) AWM2 sounds, and they trying to improve UI. Kudos to Yamaha! 🎉 I swear to purchase one after Yamaha include VL-X, VP-X and FDSP engines + adding FS part from FS1R to FM-X as well. :) No need for large polyphony on these. BTW: Do you know if new Montage can import AN1x/PLG150-AN/Reface CS sounds? I haven’t found anything about that.
Having the MODX8+ for a little over a year I can say if it only had some analog emulation it would be perfect. Then they drop these. Seems like a truly endgame level keyboard. Damnit yamaha now I have to sell the modx
I listen to the piano sounds on Clavia Nord Stage 4 and realize that they sound great. I listen to the piano on the new Montage M with an increased memory and sample size and understand that Yamaha has never learned to make good pianos.
Better than I expected; but still keeping my XF8. But the plug-in VST sounds cool; can’t wait to see it next year. I might get the M6 as an add on to the XF8. Why not? The old and the new. We’ll see. Nice job yamaha. But the prices; OUCH!!😖
The polyphonic aftertouch is not a need-to-have for me. I have a Montage 7 and the XF8. I may sell the Montage to get the M6. The XF8 still fills the bill and is a great controller as well.
@@CoowallskyI agree. Plus the fact it doesn’t have a sequencer for the price they charging? Nah. The synth engine is amazing but that’s it. The XF8 isn’t going anywhere. I’ll wait and see what the VST version sounds like next year. Like I said, better than I expected but the price and no sequencer; nada.😕
@@CoowallskyOh ok. Thanks. Definitely will look into it. It should have some type of sequencing for the prices they’re charging. The AN-X engine is a nice addition. I’m waiting for the VST version and see what’s that about.👍🏾
Looks nice and promising, can't wait to hear some serious sound demo! BUT! Page 134 in MONTAGE M Operation Manual - "For Parts 9 to 16, the buttons will not be shown since Keyboard Control cannot be set to On for those Parts" So, we still have Parts 1-8 for keyboard control and 9-16 for external input. A bit disappointing, although there is now 128 elements per part.
Sampled organ, same rotary as YC. Trigger point is a physical thing. Either lowerer trigger point to make it fit for more types of keyboard/synth sounds or high for organ. It will always be a compromise. I wouldn't go for high trigger point here, where it has so many other sounds than organ, but I understand your point. Best
Gentlemen Yamaha programmers have you already corrected the bug that if I put a division point on a specific note, if I later use the transpose, the division point is moved to another note...?? In Roland Fantom it doesn't happen, where you put the division point there is is blocked
If it had CS-80 model with a full ribbon as the Hydrasynth has, RM1x groovebox tools and some sampling it would be surpassing the Fantom and shocking the music world. As it is, it is just for a church organist and misses the home musician and DJ type mass market.
Agreed, had they decided to not leave off PolyAT on the 6 and 7, Roland would have had some competition. As it stands, Roland can comfortably sit back, release their Fantom M with PolyAT across the range and it’ll be a slam dunk.
Its a great keyboard for $4500. What concerns me is how acoustic instruments sound: strings woodwinds, brass & percussion. It has good orchestral sounds. But solo instruments, I wonder. In the concert grand there is no natural swelling of the over & undertones as they mingle in the sustain: just the usual dead tone in the fade. Other than a great attack, it's just another digital piano. The great beauty of the acoustic grand piano is how the timbre of the decay caresses the acoustic nerve, making the most amazing bell sound to the ear, sweeter than the sound of the attack. But with all the other features it sure beats the old Farfisas. (:^D
Korg Nautilus has string resonance. Roland Fantom has string resonance. Yamaha P-250 (released 2003) has string resonance. My Yamaha Montage 8 does not have string resonance. Why can this effect (VRM or VRM lite) not be added to Montage? It can't be the lack of computing power (see Yamaha P-250).
Love these demos, but I wish people would play more interesting sounds. Everyone starts off with pianos. At this stage of the game, I can't see any synth being able to improve any further on them. Let's hear something else.
I wonder what the physical dimensions of the Montage M8X will be? It would probably be too big and long to fit on my keyboard shelf under my music desk.
After having a Montage 7 Mk1 for some time now, I am feeling positive about much of the information coming through. The only thing I find perplexing from Yamaha is.. No Poly-AT for M6/7, I do think Yamaha are going to get their pants pulled down over this, so perhaps we will see a re-enactment of Korg Nautilus with their adaptation of AT kit's sometime in the future? From excitement to hesitation now...M7 with no Poly-AT :(

Bro do a review of the pianos versus Keyscape or grandeur or noire or synthage
Holy s**t. It’s finally out 🤯😵💫. That new ANX engine is no joke 💯
Well, actually...
As always, the Yamahas are sounding amazing. Lovely sounds, fantastic demo too. Keep up the good work Yamaha!
Don't see anything fantastic about demo as it showcase MONTAGE M as a keyboard for cover bands.
@@alicaramba7680 define "Cover Bands" and why you think this demo showcased this synth for that kind of band specifically?
An impressive mood of synth and real sounds

With 'real' I meant 'sampled'

I'm still using my Korg Triton Extreme 88, but damn if that Yamaha isn't an absolute beast. I think I know where next year's tax return is going.

THE Roland Fantom killer! Stunning Synth Workstation 😍 Wel done Yamaha 👏 Now I need to find a second job because of you! 😅$$$
This is more than a Fantom Killer. It Crushes that instrument into fine powder.. PS: Good luck finding that second job 😆

Even if if M7 had it, keep 6 as the budget one. Missed opportunity I think
I totally agree. This may be the reason why I will wait for other brands. I have space for a 61 keys version but I want one with poly aftertouch.
Beautiful sound
Well done Yamaha, finally the wait is over ... It sounds absolutely amazing ... Now please get the New Yamaha Genos 2 ASAP
Looking forward to trying it out.
Excellent demo and playing wow!
Excellent and awesome synthesizer.
Now that's a toy for the real and big boys ❤🎉
Amazing skills and the machine!
In all honesty this is what the original Montage should have been, but it's better late than never! Good job Yamaha!
