Yamaha MONTAGE 6 Synthesizer

Introducing the Yamaha MONTAGE 6 Synthesizer: The New Age of Synthesizers

The Yamaha MONTAGE 6 Synthesizer is a powerful synthesizer that combines classic design with modern innovation. It builds on the success of the DX and Motif synths, setting a new milestone for synthesizers with sophisticated dynamic control, massive sound creation, and streamlined workflow, all combined in a powerful keyboard designed to inspire creativity.

Touchscreen Control

The MONTAGE 6 features a 7-inch colour Wide-VGA touchscreen that displays all the information about your voices, parameters, and controls in a handy touchable screen. The touch screen feature makes it easier for you to navigate between different settings and parameters, visually displaying all the controls so you can touch and affect them as you please. This hands-on control helps to improve your workflow, allowing you to truly feel like your interacting with onboard parameters.

Live Set and Performance Modes

Yamaha has incorporated two new modes into the MONTAGE synth for making live performances and organizing sounds easier than ever before. The ‘Live Set Organiser’ gives you the ability to arrange your sounds and controls in a uniformed fashion so you can easily recall them later, in the order you set them in. This is ideal for live performances as it saves a lot of time switching between parameters, letting you streamline your performance and seamlessly switch between sounds and controls at the touch of a button.

The ‘Performance Mode’ gives you optimal control over your voices and sounds allowing you to combine, split or layer multiple voices. This gives you maximum flexibility when it comes to performances and arranging sounds, giving you the option to sculpt your tones. You can also ‘Split’ sounds, so you can play one sound on the bottom half of the scale and another at the top half, allowing you to combine sounds to create a duet like effect.

Dual Iconic Sound Engines

The two sound engines incorporated into the MONTAGE are AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory) and FM-X. The AWM2 Engine was found previously in the Motif collection and is a powerful PCM based sound engine that features 128-note polyphony. This sound engine has been integrated to deliver the exceptional tones and sounds found as presets, along with generating and sculpting your own sounds. With the integrated flash memory of 1.7GB you can create, sculpt and combine your own tones and save them as presets to be instantly recalled at a later time.

The FM-X sound engine works in conjunction with the AWM2 to deliver the premium quality sounds and response that the MONTAGE delivers. These two engines can be freely zoned or layered across all parts in a Multi-Part Montage Performance. The powerful and expansive sound engines are what drive the Yamaha MONTAGE, delivering the rich and articulate sounds that it produces.

Motion Control Synthesis and Envelope Follower

The MONTAGE 6 unifies two classic sound engines comprised of the AWM2 and FM-X. The dual engines deliver a diverse and highly expressive sound palette. The MONTAGE 6 Synthesizer is jam-packed with controls including the Super Knob, Motion sequencer, and an envelope follower. The pure analog circuitry delivers classic warmth and grit, bringing these ground-breaking functions to life.

The Motion Control Synthesis engine allows you to create dynamic sound changes with the Super Knob and Motion Sequences. These can be assigned to nearly any parameter, allowing you to create expressive sounds that evolve over time.

The Envelope Follower is a brand-new intuitive feature that has been incorporated to deliver more expansive playing possibilities when it comes to audio. It allows you to convert external audio into a module source, with a variety of DSP effects allowing you to mould your sound. With this feature, you can create
