Even without Purgatory Creek, I'd still prefer some of the EPs I've played on boards from Korg (e.g. I agree, I don't think Nord EPs are top tier. It also has gobs more layers, sequences, and just plain more raw single sounds that most others I"ve looked at. But with typical Yamaha fashion, editing navigation is quite a challenge.Īnalog Experience makes me not miss the JX library as much. The second one implemented with the firmware update is much better for my tastes.dirtier and more pronounced. Organimation is pretty good, but it was released before the firmware update so only uses the first rotary sim in the MODX"s effects. Montage Expanded has a ton of fantastic synth pads, leads, and "s definitely a must-have for me. My MODX has been super stable for six months now after deleting those two libraries. It"s a shame as the JX library in particular has some great emulations. I thought my MODX7 had malfunctioned and was going to have to be returned, but after a factory reset and reloading libraries, one by one, only those two caused the tuning go all wonky. It is so slow and and unperceived until it"s too late.in the middle of a gig. They must have some corrupt code or something.they both made my whole synth slowly slip out of tune. I bought one of the Pink Floyd libraries and the Super JX. CS-80 - a mixed bag, some nice patches, some naffīeware of some of the libraries from Synth Cloud. Montage Expanded - some really useful patches in here, including all the classic DX7 factory patchesħ. Doesn't have the same magic as a Nord, but nice to have! Feels kind of illegal.Ħ. 'Red' Pianos - sampled Nord pianos for your MODX. Epic Grand - a nice alternative to the factory piano soundĥ. Organimation - fixes the biggest weak point, the Hammond:Ĥ. Analog Xperience - samples of Moogs, Prophets, etc. Pugatory Creek Vintage Keyboards - Must have, Nord-level Electric Pianos!Ģ. Which one's are y'all using on gigs? What have I missed?Īnd of course the real issue is fitting them all inside of 1GB - has anyone had any luck picking and choosing, using the John Melas tool? I've yet to figure that part out (sounds like a bit of a ballache, really)ġ. To promote the new workstation, Yamaha have enlisted keyboard craftsmen such as Greg Phillinganes, Matt Johnson, Manuele Montesanti and Pontus Persson to test out its latest bit of kit.Not everyone seems to know about the best aspect of the MODX, the libraries! So I thought I'd compile a list. Yamaha promises a more fluid creative process with its new keyboard, stating that workflow and navigation is faster and more intuitive with the expanded softsynth plugin replicating the Montage M in digital audio workstations like Ableton, FL Studio and Logic. Read this next: 10 of the best live modular sets you can watch online The Montage M is geared towards live shows with its part and scene keyboard control buttons which can run 16 parts per performance. Other new performance controls include a five-segment ribbon controller with a dedicated hold button, a keyboard hold button for chord sustaining and an on/off button for Portamento with a dedicated time knob. One of the new additions is polyphonic aftertouch, where users can individually modulate held notes with pressure. Upgrades from the original Montage include an extra 144 notes of polyphony, twice the overall memory, with both preset wave memory and user flash memory increased, and new performance controls. The keyboard comprises three oscillators, each armed with five waveforms and a noise generator, two filters with 10 filter types, pulse width modulation, oscillator self sync, ring modulation, FM and wave shaper, amp EG with drive, LFOs for both amplitude and filter cutoff plus voltage drift emulation and ageing settings which simulate vintage synth behaviour. ![]() Read this next: 5 of the best synth remakes The M8x, M7 and M6 differ in size, with the keyboards offering 88, 76 and 61 keys respectively, but all offer three audio engines, motion control and a seamless bridge between stage and studio workflows with computer connectivity and integration. The audio engine recreates the warmth of an analog synthesiser while providing modern and sophisticated modulation. The Montage M, which comes in three forms (M8x, M7 and M6), boasts a new AN-X engine, which the company describes as a "revolution in authentic analog sound, control and behaviour". The audio equipment powerhouse Yamaha has introduced an upgraded version of its admired Montage workstation. ![]()
