Dom not just creating magic music but sharing with us clearly and passionately his creative path. That is a real teacher! 🙏

[@CinderellaVasia]

A piece of thousand memories! What a brilliant dreamy melody! 🥰

[@hamacaboy]

Dom please record this exact melody/harmony and publish its so incredible. It reminds me of bach

[@neurokinetik64ES]

I love these tutorials, they are helping me really get to know FM synthesis on the Montage.

[@MrAliensix]

Thanks Dom! I found this really inspiring. I'm a big analogue synth fan, but there are levels of detail that you can achieve with FM synthesis that you can't with subractive. A good use of a lazy Sunday is to spend it with my MODX creating my own library of sounds. These tutorials really help to bring some clarity to the FM sound creation process. Many thanks :)

[@patrickarend8707]

Excellent video! FM is one of my favorite forms of synthesis. Dom's videos have helped me get more out of my MODX.

[@liamwescott9264]

Awesome video, Dom! You should definitely put that final patch mixup on the Soundmondo website and it should be in the next firmware update for the Montage/MODX when that comes out! Love, LOVE, LOVE, your video tutorials! (and that final sound mix makes me think of a dreamy space flute or something like that) Good job, as always!

[@Zettaiz3r0]

Absolutely love the FM Sound Design Tutorials for the Montage Dom!

[@UDiAudio]

Beautiful.

[@aantetomaso]

Very inspiring video, Dom, thx a lot. Next two FM videos: a funky synth brass and an FM bass. What do you think ;-)

[@calebreid4398]

Dom is exactly what i aspire to be with my music

[@Dubitel]

It's so nice to listen to! It's incredible!

[@pierrecarlsson8579]

Dom, thanks for sharing your thought processes when designing in the FMX architecture. Awesome video as always man!

[@Dromeusik]

Awesome stuff, Dom. These tutorials provide valuable insights, are clearly presented and easy to follow. Somethin' NOT to miss...

[@Honzinus78]

Hey Dom, I've just tried it on my MODX and it sounds amazing! You are genius!!

[@syrenafury8559]

Great video! I absolutely love watching your videos, as well as learning. Amazing work as always Dom!!

[@Disisions]

So beautiful

[@thefrozensea9314]

Lovely dreamy sound! The Montage/Modx seems like a wonderful synth

[@antonyfaulkner8649]

Hi Dom, I subscribed and you are my Go To guy for anything MONTAGE/MODX... fantastic videos :). Please can you make a video on how to create Chordal Drones for Ambient pads... play a chord, take hands off, and leave it playing until you play another chord. Many thanks, and Merry Christmas.

[@tuneunleashed]

I’m going to wait for the Yamaha Montage 2

[@casmirron]

This is really amazing. Fantastic sound !

[@jolo3741]

Awesome tutorial for sound design for a newbie on MODX like me. 😊 Do you have other videos like this to recommend?

[@EricCorminier]

Brillant as usual !! very interesting ! thanks

[@DanieleIppolito]

suuper awesome!😍

[@liviou2004]

Hello Dom ! All is perfect in this excellent tuto : great melody, great sound, great explanations !

[@theaudioeng]

What Yam's FM is all about for me; plucky, thunky, metallic patches - thanks for this instruction Dom, hope you're good, cheers! 🎹🎶🍻👍. ps. your YT drops are the only reason I 'm considering a 28" 4K monitor (!! 😲)

[@DomSigalas]

Thank you soooo much my man! I will do more synthesis tutorials for sure!

[@theaudioeng]

@@DomSigalas Looking forward to them Dom (off to watch Claudio's new studio build progress next, Ep.4...!). 😎🎹🎶👍

[@Moessieurs]

Thank you Dom great example about how to edit step by step using faders to let hear carrier and modulator results of editing and add FX and quick real time control 👍🎶

[@dansurlaru]

Wooww. Beautiful melody. Respect. Succes

[@sidylima1984]

Very nice!!!

[@jeanparizot1923]

you are the best ! Merci

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

Too sweet for me.

[@synthfluencer]

Dom - thanks to your lovely sound design videos you manage that I become friends with FM synthesis, finally 🤝🎹

[@DomSigalas]

So happy to hear that!

[@RenevolutionAccount]

great, Dom 👍🏼😄

[@AnanyaGoyal7]

Hi Dom! I absolutely love your videos. You explain everything so easily! Can you please make a video on how to make synth plucks?

[@osanan]

It would be great if you could explain how to create the same patch in Cubase with its stock plug-ins.

[@dansurlaru]

Please make tutorial with ambiental and intimate grand piano

[@alezfabius4252]

bro. great youtube chanel !!!!

[@audiografie_at59]

Awesome Video, Dom. Please make a video how to design a similar plucksound on Halion or any of the Cubase onboard synths. Greetings from Switzerland, Rob

[@DomSigalas]

Goes into my to-do list ;)

[@filipzawadzki9424]

Does Modx 6 sound the same with the effects? Excellent sound design

[@chaton51]

that's fun 'caus i've just watch "How to write a GREAT melody" by Guy Michelmore..

[@mgrizzello]

need that shirt

[@BootlegBil]

Headed for 'Stranger Things' soundtrack, perhaps? It reminds me of 'X-Files' theme, in a way too.

[@martinm7898]

Hello Dom...i have a question. I have the montage 6 and wanting to know how do I utilize the sliders on the left side to control as volume for each track. When I am in the process of recording a song track by track, I'm not sure why the sliders are not controlling the volume for that particular track. How do I fix this dilemma ? Thank you.

[@ProjectVastness]

Now I've a weird/interesting question, it's possible to create a psytrance robotic sound lead in Modx/montage? ^^

[@kiko1935]

man that Montage white is gorgeous. Is that white metal or a hard plastic?

[@DomSigalas]

Metal :)

[@padmarag]

What's the tune that Dom is playing at the start of video? Felt a bit like Blade Runner. Felt familiar but can't place it.

[@KyriCB]

Hi Dom, nice video! Just a quick question, is there a big difference in quality between the UFX and the AXR4? Much appreciation Dom! Where are you from out of interest?

[@DomSigalas]

Hey Kyri, yes, to my ears there is a noticeable difference! Especially in the preamps department! The Silks are sooooo good - I use the blue for recording bass almost always and the red for vocals and guitars. But to be fair, the UFX that I have is very old - I haven’t heard the new ones but the word is that it’s not a massive difference in sound compared to the original one.

[@KyriCB]

@@DomSigalas Thank you for that Dom, much appreciated!

[@Jason75913]

How does FM-X stack up against FM8?

[@nikolaynikolov6944]

N1

[@oranalaoof8218]

yo dom why if i render a midi to audio i cant sample it ?

[@lucian6172]

The starting song definitely sounds like a Russian melody.

[@whisperingwind3430]

after set 67 algoryhtm the sound was gone and I rise up the 2 operator and sound still haven't came out

[@paulchapman112]

could this be done on the Montage M?

[@DomSigalas]

Of course!

[@nikoszisidisgrmstudio]

sound like greek composers Vaggelis and Spanoudakis..

[@Cap10NRGMusic]

That is a beautiful patch! Dude EVERY WEEK you find something - really enjoy your videos man. You and a few other creators have inspired me to start my KZbin with tutorials for music production tips, tutorials and reviews. If you want to check it out - it's 'Cap10NRG Music' - let me know what you think! :D

[@sound-guy]

Interesting to follow your thought process. After working with my Montage for about a year, the mechanics are falling into place. Watching you follow your instincts on sound design helps inspire the trickier artistic side. Another great video Dom.
