Yamaha montage6/1/2023 ![]() Motion SEQ: Motion Sequences are tempo-synchronized, completely customizable control sequences that can be assigned to virtually any synthesizer parameter and provide incredible creative new ways of programming sound. The Super Knob can even be assigned to a second FC7 foot controller making it easy to manipulate the sound when playing with both hands. Or radically change the character of a Performance from atmospheric and mellow to rhythmic and edgy. For example: change your listening position from right in front of an instrument to in the back seat of a concert hall. The Super Knob can control multiple parameters simultaneously, resulting in anything you can imagine. Super Knob: Create dynamic sound changes from radical to sublime with the Super Knob. Of methods to interact with and channel your creativity into finding your own unique sound. MONTAGE adds another level of expression with the Motion Control Synthesis Engine. Sophisticated Dynamic Control Music is expression. With Motion Control, you can create new sounds not possible on previous hardware synthesizers. Interact with MONTAGE Performances using Motion Control, a highly programmable control matrix for creating deep, dynamic and incredibly expressive sound. If you’re a pianist, you’ll enjoy a realistic playing experience with piano-centric effects such as Damper Resonance and HD reverbs that put you right in the performance space.Motion Control Synthesis EngineYamaha's Motion Control Synthesis Engine unifies and controls two iconic Sound Engines: AWM2 (high-quality waveform and subtractive synthesis) and FM-X (modern, pure Frequency Modulation synthesis.) These two engines can be freely zoned or layered across eight parts in a single MONTAGE Performance. Create a cool ducking effect with a sidechain compressor, or go full retro with the vintage-flavored VCM Phaser or Analog Delay. Effects such as Vinyl Break, Bit Crusher, and Beat Repeat are ideal for contemporary EDM production. Montage series synths are fortified with a powerful DSP effects engine that delivers everything from gloriously high-def reverbs to meticulously detailed VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) FX. ![]() You can even use live audio coming in via the Montage’s A/D input as a source. Or take a vocal and control multiple parameters with it for a robotic effect. You could take a drum loop, for instance, and drive FX parameters with it to create interesting rhythms. With the Montage’s onboard Envelope Follower, you can use any audio as a modulator for any synth parameter. With dedicated front-panel controls, Motion Sequences makes it effortless to manipulate and morph your patches in real time, with inspiring interactivity and deep expression.Įnvelope Follower lets you modulate with audio Take it from Sweetwater, this will change the way you do business. The Yamaha Montage synthesizers are spec’d with a nifty feature called Motion Sequences – tempo-synched (and totally customizable) control sequences that you can assign to any parameter. However you use it, you’ll never cease to be amazed and delighted by the Super Knob. Need both hands on the keyboard? Assign the Super Knob to a foot controller. You can, for instance, change the ambient perspective of an instrument or a vocal, shooting it from in-your-face to deep inside a cave, and then back again. With the Super Knob, you can control multiple parameters at once. This appropriately named control lets you execute one-hand dynamic sound modifications, from subtle to severe. Yamaha fitted their Montage models with a stroke of genius – the Super Knob. Boasting an 8-operator FM architecture and 128-note polyphony, FM-X arms you with a massive sound design arsenal. AWM2, powered by Yamaha’s proprietary data compression and sound playback technology, delivers amazingly realistic sound reproduction, and almost ten times the waveform capacity of Yamaha’s MotifXF workstation! If you need a sophisticated synth engine, FM-X can deliver everything from vintage ’80s to modern EDM sounds, all with impressive dynamic range and sonic fidelity. ![]() The Motion Control Synthesis Engine controls and unifies Montage’s two sound engines, AWM2 and FM-X. ![]() Envelope Follower lets you modulate with audio.Expressive, interactive Motion Sequences.It’s called the Super Knob for a reason.Motion Control Synthesis, AWM2, and FM-X.Yamaha Montage 6 61-key Synthesizer at a Glance:
