OVERVIEW

DX and MOTIF technologies fused together with unprecedented power.

The Montage 8 from Yamaha is a flagship synthesizer designed for professional keyboardists and producers. Packed with advanced sound engines, real-time control and sequencing features, the Montage 8 provides an unrivaled platform for sound design and live performance.

FM-X Sound Engine Delivers Authentic FM Synthesis


At the heart of the Montage 8 is Yamaha's FM-X sound engine, which uses advanced FM synthesis to produce dynamic and expressive sounds. With eight operators per voice, the FM-X engine can create incredibly complex waveforms and textures. A large library of presets provides a diverse range of sounds right out of the box, from realistic pianos and organs to evolving pads, leads and bass.

AWM2 Sample Library Provides Orchestral Depth


In addition to the FM-X engine, the Montage 8 features Yamaha's AWM2 sample library with recordings of world-class concert grand pianos, drums, basses, strings, brass, woodwinds and more. The AWM2 engine combines waveforms at multiple dynamic levels to create nuanced, natural- sounding instrument presets for live playing or composition.

Motion Control Synthesis Blends Layers in Real Time


Yamaha's Motion Control Synthesis allows for the real-time manipulation of multiple sound layers using the Montage 8's touch-sensitive controllers. Users can control filter cutoffs, effect parameters, envelope shapes and more to seamlessly transition between sonic textures during a performance. The eight large faders and eight knobs provide hands-on control over the Montage 8's parameters and effects in an intuitive layout.

Robust Sequencing and Advanced Arpeggiation


With its 16-track sequencer, real-time arpeggiator and advanced step sequencer, the Montage 8 offers powerful tools for composition and live improvisation. Users can record and edit MIDI data, automate parameters and create complex arpeggios and drum patterns on the fly. The Montage 8's flexible routing also allows for the use of multiple arpeggiators simultaneously on different sounds for intricate rhythmic passages.
