This is honestly probably in a 2-way tie for most consistently enjoyable synth I’ve ever used. I always feel good after using it lol. You also got some of the best results from it that I’ve heard! I actually like some of the limitations sometimes, because too many options is sometimes overwhelming, and this still has a lot to keep things interesting in other ways. I also really like to pair it up with a sampler (1010 Blackbox) and a small monosynth (such as a Pittsburgh Modular SV-1) and have it do all the sequencing and FM sounds

[@AudioPilz]

I'm going to make a Hiroshi Yoshimura style ambient album with it one day, so it'll be worth it just for that :)

[@AudioPilz]

Hah, I SO wanted one of those (MODX) when it came out. Played with it in the music store, and once it was stuck in some “mode” I could not figure out how to escape, despite having over 3 decades experience programming computers 😁 It’s a shame, the MODX/Montage sounds great, but it’s just too complicated. I ended up (eventually) getting a “Nautilus”. More expensive, but I got along with the control layout and key feel much better. Sure, it’s a similar level of complexity inside, but Korg did a great job of letting you wade into it, instead of throwing you in to drown. And Nautilus has a filter on its FM engine, too.

[@gautrstafr]

@@Roboprogs I actually found it the other way, it was just very intuitive to me compared to the Kronos and the Fantom.

[@Roboprogs]

@@gautrstafr yeah, I wonder how much gear is “bad” or “good”, and how much is “workflow did, or did not, make sense to *me*” In my case, the first time I got to try the new keyboard, it was almost an hour noodling around with it (“I should go, but this is really fun”), so I kinda knew which one I was going to get a month or two later, vs merely a “meh.” feeling about it. Yamaha sounds great, though, enjoy!
