Montage M8x, the next-generation flagship synthesizer from Yamaha. Realize amazing sound with its 3 engines that recreate warm vintage analog synths, cutting-edge FM synths, and ultra-realistic instruments. The Motion Control engine enhances these capabilities, adding a unique 4th dimension of control to your music making. Unlike traditional hardware synthesizers, Montage M8x seamlessly bridges stage and studio workflows with computer connectivity and integration. For pianists wanting 88-key weighted action, and synth players wanting expressive polyphonic aftertouch, the Montage M8x introduces a new era of sound, control and workflow in music creation.

FM-X:

- Montage M rekindles the Yamaha legacy of expressive and dynamic FM synthesis with its 8-operator FM-X engine, offering a wide variety of diverse tones: rom crisp and bell-like, to edgy and aggressive, to mellow and evolving. This is an excellent complement to the AWM2 and AN-X engines.

VCM Rotary and Drawbar Behavior:

- Using sophisticated modeling technology, the VCM Rotary Speaker effect simulates the rich and enveloping motion of a classic rotary speaker cabinet. Plus, the new organ drawbar fader setting simulates the vintage “pull-out” drawbar organ behavior.

Pure Analog Circuit 2:

- The upgraded Pure Analog Circuit included in Montage M reduces noise and improves the dynamic range, crosstalk, low-frequency phase, and distortion rate, resulting in clearer sound at all volumes. You’ll also find the sound has more detailed low-mids and presence.
