There's no way I could get the standard version. I would rather go without and wait. I know the difference is only cosmetic but if I bought the regular Montage, every time I saw a white version, I would only be filled with contempt for mine, sadness and regret.

Thanks a lot!! The XF8 is a great keyboard and I've had it before, but in my opinion, Yamaha took it to a whole different level with the Montage as far as what it's capable of doing

Just ordered a MODX6 which is probably best bang for the buck. Seeing I'm deeply imvested in the Yamaha ecosystem with a MX61, MOX8 and a few Reface boards it will be a fantastic addition.

@@holygeneration7 I tried the MODX6 at a local store before ordering. Agreed the keybed isn't the greatest but there are far worse and for what the unit gives at that price point, in my particular case a lightly used model for $875, there are ZERO complaints to be had.

Hi Andrew - great video. I have the Montage 8, but for church I still prefer my Alesis and my Korg N364 for their B-3 sounds, esp. with Leslie effects. On the Montage, the mod wheel only seems to add coarse tremolo to the B-3 patches. Have you found a good way to add Leslie, then save it in a real-time knob or slider? (I wrote to Yamaha but only got a "you can change anything you want" answer). Thank you!

I had a motif xf8 sold it during covid hard times for $2500 what a steal this dude got. I can only imagine the sounds that come out of this one. One day I'll own it. Yamaha is pretty solid on their prices, I watched the motif xf8 for 5 years and the price never went down, and one day I bit the bullet lol. Hands down best keyboard I ever touched. Good piano playing btw.

Yea the prices don't drop too much, I had been watching the prices on the Montage for a while and I saw it for a steal price one day and had to grab it lol I actually had the XF8 before and got that for about $1,900. They were both secondhand, and I got them both from Facebook Marketplace

@@AndrewMcKain I picked up a second hand Montage about a year ago for 1800$ it was a Montage 6, oh boy what a beast this has been to learn, it's deeply complex. But today in hindsight it has been the best synth purchase I ever did. I have all kinds of synths, Korgs, Rolands, etc. Nothing even comes close to the "power" of the sound that Montage have. Also the keybed of the montage is nothing less than legendary, it has this special feel about it that is so comfortable to play on.

Andrew, I have been agonizing at which Keyboard I should stay with. I have a hybrid setup, Kurzweil K2500, Montage 8, Roland XV5080, and of course Ableton Live 11 with Komplete and kontrol sounds. I was trying to determine if I should sell my K2500, and replace with the K2700. However, you have convinced me here to stick with the Montage 8. The sounds on the K2500 are good Kurzweil sounds, but the 2700 isn't over and above the Montage 8....therefore why add to what I already have. Your video proved that I was a knucklehead, not recognizing the power of the Montage. I think that I will stick with the current setup, unless of course you have a compelling reason for me to change out the K2500 and add the K2700. Felt it is throwing money against a "not so material" outcome. Thanks for this, and smooth playing my man, very smooth.

Bro, we were just talking about this Wednesday. Love the montage, played with the motif at church then we got a kronos then went back to yamaha. Got rid of the kronos, kronos is way to much digging into to get the pianos to sound the way you want it and then the polyphony was killing me. Sounds would cut off since i layer a few sounds at a time. The polyphony and key feel is waaaaaaay better on the montage. Polyphony and pianos Montage>kronos Key feel Montage & kronos>nord

@@AndrewMcKain The kronos is a wonderful machine BUT the BIG BUT is thats its not as user friendly as the yamaha. Even layering sounds is a process. If you're used to a yamaha then you're going to find the piano sounds lacking in the effects department, that you can remedy by eq-ing and routing effects but who wants to do that just for a church service or conference? 😄 one thing i liked on the kronos was changing the lid postion when using a piano sound to make it brighter.
