![]() This has not yet been used in any new products. In June 2022, Yamaha registered a trademark for the name AN-X. We’ll have to look closer at the new Montage software in October. It would be a great new features with they would score points. So far, there has been no sign from Yamaha about such a keybed. More if it has a polyphonic aftertouch support. With the release of the Waldorf Quantum MK2 and the new NI Komplete controllers, the question arises as to whether the new “Montage” will have an improved keybed. You can also see in the pictures that the angular shape of the original remains. Does the new Montage have an improved one that can be played more expressively? That would also be a good improvement. Then Yamaha highlighted the ribbon controller under the pitch and mod wheel in its teaser photos. This will give you a better overview of the parameter and would be a good addition next to the famous blue super knob. You can’t see much in the new pictures, but a few elements indicate new features.įirstly, a new elongated display will be located above the knobs on the left side. Thus, the most crucial question: what will be different in the new Montage? I’m sure Yamaha will keep the Montage name. The first Yamaha Montage was a Synthesizer workstation based on the AWM2 and FMX engines that combined various synthesis and sampling options. A month, however, before the release, there is now a bit of movement in the topic with a first official teaser. They teased the next generation that will be presented in October.Īt the time, Yamaha didn’t announce what the feature set of the new Montage would be. At the same time, they announced that it was not the end. ![]() After seven years on the market, Yamaha discontinued their synth workstation. The journey of the Yamaha Montage came to an end in the Summer. Hopefully, it will have a higher resolution.Īnd the last, a bit blurry picture, shows all three new models. And these pictures also clearly show that the new Montage gets a second display above the knobs. The first two will probably have a semi-weighted keybed while the M8X has weight keys. The three new Montage models can be seen. The photos were published by the Yamaha Community website. They will be called Montage M6, M7 and M8X. A short time later, there was the first significant leak with photos of the devices. Yesterday, Yamaha released a sneak peek of its new Montage Synthesizer with the first sound demos. The new models are not cheap, but it was to be expected that they would be professional synths. According to, the Montage M6 will cost $3999,99, the M7 for $4499,00 and the M8X with polyphonic aftertouch for $4999,00. The rest remains identical to the smaller models.Īnd the prices are also available. So you get basically a virtual CS-80 in the Montage that can be played with polyAT. This is a big surprise and a feature offered in the legendary Yamaha CS-80 and DX-1 synths. The flagship model Montage M8X, on the other hand, will have an 88 full-sized touch-sensitive piano-style and GEX weighted action polyphonic aftertouch keybed. Yamaha describes it as non-leaded Fast Spring (FSX) key action for a lightweight feel with the exacting amount of resistance. The M6 and M7 will feature the same full-size touch-sensitive synth-action keybed with velocity + aftertouch. Things get more exciting with the different models. ![]()
