Super Warm FM Sounds on the Yamaha Montage

[@digitaldiezel5870]

Montage needs more demos like this all over You Tube. This is way more relevant to me than the same old myriad of pianos. All this FM power and very few show it off well. Great job!

[@DavidLee07]

While armchair musicians argue over what synth is best and why this or that synth sucks, real musicians can get good results out of any capable instrument, as Matt does here once again. It's what you put into your playing and programming that matters most. Beautiful!

[@RayyMusik]

So true. I‘ve heard people using a Montage for acoustic and DX7 piano sounds with string pads throughout. What a shame!

[@ogasi1798]

I have the montage and it is a lot MORE than a capable inst. Yes the player matters more usually but using the big M as the example is a bit hmmm, pretty much anyone could sound great on this beast - not saying he is just anyone as we all know he obviously has skills

[@deldia]

But it doesn’t have that analogue tube warmth! 🙄

[@ChazSeamus28]

you have admit it though, the Montage is the Megatron of the digital synth world

[@aleksandari.7834]

Not all who argue are armchair musicians. Some are just enthusiasts who like to debate over sound.

[@travr1131]

How cool is it that Mr. Johnson, who is an accomplished and famous musician, also makes videos on KZbin to share his passion for synths and music? I am so glad I found this channel; it is informative and inspiring!

[@miscible21]

Recently, I've started watching your videos videos with my 4 year old asking her to imagine herself in space, in a space caddilac. Or asking her to imagine herself as a space cowgirl. Or floating on a cloud. Or flying into the sun. Or diving deep into the ocean. Or imagine herself glowing in the dark. This is the value of your music. It literally takes you places and it's beautiful. Thank you for this content. It may be alot to ask but please keep making content. We are so appreciative if it.

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

Ah thanks that means a lot to me!

[@hamacaboy]

This is the best and most complex use of montage in a live performance, incredible work

[@SuperflyCLB]

2 o’clock in the morning: Eating a cookie, having a sip of Irish whiskey, and a cosmic voyage to the interior of the soul with Captain Matt at the helm

[@DanielRojasBuscaglia]

This is what is needed, no more vst programs or new keyboards every 3 minutes, but real musicians making music of the soul Beautiful Matt, for these days, thanks

[@synth4ever]

Incredible... being transported away to the Offworld with these sounds... attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate... amazing work.

[@zaleschukmusic]

Amazing sounds and performing. I never fail to leave your channel feeling inspired.

[@SoundmanCH]

mellowestvibes I feel exactly the same way, he is the best.

[@fromdusktodawn509]

Bravo!

[@rossconran2333]

Some people have great chops others good taste and there are a tiny few who can sound design at the same level. There are however only a tiny handful of people who have all three. You, Matt, have all three in spades. I never fail to be thrilled impressed and joyful at everything you do. Oh and you most definitely should do an Ambient collection and release it.

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

Thanks!

[@ImranAhmed-gy9jf]

I had one of these back in 1975. What i loved was the BossaNova setting. It was very, very good.

[@brianbuchhammer]

Guess we don't need to miss the CS 80, those sounds at 1:22 are perfect

[@x_80]

@matt for many of us it is a great privilege to be able to see you playing and learn; thank you very much.

[@ludovicBerquin]

WoW, I missed that one. Who said that FM wasn’t expressive. Another great video of yours. Thanks Matt, very inspiring.

[@Retrogamer71]

Nice. Always a joy to encounter Mr. Johnson's expressive use of the synthesizer on the KZbins.

[@kiko1935]

The white montage is gorgeous. Really looks (and sounds) like a luxury instrument

[@darrenjharris9907]

Really nice Matt. I have the Yamaha MODX8, same engines, your sounds encourage me dive under the hood.

[@masayoshisato5899]

It's a very high quality demo that I would like Yamaha to post on its website.

[@clavis_voveo]

This is absolutely amazing! It s the first time ever I have listened to the pleasant sounding FM synth.

[@ManCalledMif]

Love these mellow sounds. Slow-attack pads, melodic elements and the fact you can play very well, all create a relaxing atmosphere. Would love to be able to play like this. ❤️

[@cmath8577]

We finally caught up with Deckard at his apartment

[@jochenreich683]

"I saw ceebeems at tannhäuser gate..."😪

[@theaudioeng]

Brill as usual Matt! Must spend more time with the FM engine in my MODX (keep being distracted by my SY99 you see ... 😉). Be safe and importantly everyone enjoy your bonus studio time!! 🖐😷🎹👍🍻

[@markthom9195]

Dont know how you do it Matt. Your chord structures are amazing. I was totally removed from my surroundings. Amazing. What an awsome synth. The montage is absolutely Epic. Always inspiring. Keep up the most epic work as always 🤜

[@THESYNTHBARD]

Cant get over what a MONSTER the montage is! Love the fm sounds, so dreamy.

[@thejamifan-os4oh]

Beautiful, FM from another galaxy, I was drifting away, much needed thank you as always truly inspiring ... 🙌🏻😎🙏🏻🎹🎶

[@SanctuaryLife]

3:13 quite a stunning little 35 second piece which dives deep and then layers with a brilliant climactic cascade, well done Matt!

[@magicknight8412]

Love the FM sound, nice thoughtful playing. Great stuff

[@midiphy]

Fantastic job! FM goosebumps! :-D

[@hawk194]

Stunning! Those pads are so atmospheric. Great sound design and playing Matt. Wonderful.

[@yeoramOfficial]

La synthèse Fm a encore de l'avenir avec Montage Comme toujours très bon choix de sons Matt Merci.

[@pcbjunkie1]

Beautiful sounds to wake up to this morning.

[@FFrrEEddRRiiKK1]

Mesmerizing soundscapes.

[@obwanz1921]

Wonderful programming and playing. I’ve been doing a lot of similar FM-X programming from scratch as well. Loving the alternate operator waveforms, 8 operators and 88 algorithms. Great stuff, and impressive! Subscribed 👍

[@OHHnoYOUdidntMAN]

Love these sounds, reminds me of Tycho but even BIGGER

[@theclaverman]

Hi Matt, that’s it. You’ve basically just sold me a Yamaha Montage 8, after all the Montage-videos I’ve seen on KZbin, this one tipped me over the edge to actually buy one. My wife will not like you after this....hehehe. All the best :-)

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

It's a good buy! Grab it on my affiliate link!!

[@odnilniloc]

Stunning synthesiser and great keyboard skills as always!

[@Kougeru]

No idea why this was recommended to me but I'm glad

[@teknlearn]

Oh my goodness this is so beautiful

[@Figue86]

Que lindo suena ese Montaje 8 😍 un saludo Mr Matt Johnson 👌👋 desde 🇵🇾 Paraguay Sudamérica

[@Wulfcry]

I hear what is done here if it wasn't for motion control and seamless switching all the sound had to be separately being blend with control switching using multiple keyboards, pedals and devices, Sir that is some amazing fine programming a joy to listen to and inspiration.

[@flotopo]

Beautiful! Simply beautiful!

[@KeysBeMe]

Love the fact that this was performed with your own custom patches which goes perfectly with your music stylings! Bravo and well done!

[@andrewyoung785]

Beautiful, watching you play the Montage it seems CS-80 like in how it responds to your playing.

[@isabellemondoloni2991]

I love what i hear from you ! keep it up, and thank you for the inspiration and those special vibes we do all need to hear just right now.People need to dream again about nice things.......so let's close our eyes and.............Great job, as usual .Matt x.

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

I appreciate that!

[@mikerawd]

Fabulous! It's always pleasure to listen to your performances

[@drumatic]

Thanks for allowing me to take a trip on a Star, Matt ... KPM would be proud!

[@WimRijksen]

My my Mr. Johnson, what a big ol' thang you got there. No seriously, the Montage sounds amazing but it's so frickin BIG!

[@BrJD-ii4iv]

Wim Rijksen And very heavy! Go for the 7 instead if ur gonna be gigging w/ the board.

[@WimRijksen]

@@BrJD-ii4iv Not planning to but thanks for the heads up.

[@andreafox7267]

Beautiful! I love mine. So inspirational. Version 3.0 has made a big difference too. Thanks for sharing. 💁🏼‍♀️

[@batrukhan]

That's awesome, hope you'll do things like this more and more. Thank you

[@anthonyrock5039]

Absolutely beautiful soundscape Matt! Great to see you healthy and creating my friend. Bless!

[@beyond8981]

Amazing as always - listened to with my morning coffee - perfect way to start the day !

[@martinlubitz3171]

Hi Matt, fantastic sounds and amazing playing. So Much better as the new Behringer teaser early in the morning.😎

[@richardtrussell8220]

Lovely, just what I needed to hear. Very nice sounds and a real change to hearing subtractive synthesis most of the time. Maybe get that Modx7 now...

[@mikedevlin2048]

Another inspiring video Matt 👌🏻 I am hobbling around home after knee surgery and trying to get my head around FM synthesis... Albeit on an Electron Digitone keys and this pops up onto my feed...

[@KacyDennis]

Lovely. Thank you Matt.

[@thelantern9075]

Man, you got an ear for those moody sounds. Love it, beautiful music.

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Stunnings sounds and playing once again.

[@tenmilliondreamers]

Great sounds. Favourite sound at 1:22.

[@PerpetualTwilight88]

Sounds so good. Love the way you use all the sounds. Very musical instrument. Top shelf

[@Bassryche]

Would love to have these patches for my Montage ! Great work and awesome play Matt !

[@masanorimatsuda4462]

I love your sounds very nice very good very beautiful

[@juanitotello]

I love it. Bravo. These sounds are amazing. You are amazing.

[@nobapnocap]

Incroyable

[@Eaonsound]

Lovely Sounds !

[@Stue007]

Beautiful

[@glennanderson9947]

Hi Matt. Very inspiring. I just acquired a Montage 6 ( with your helpful recommendation) and wondered if you might consider offering your Montage performances as purchasable downloads. Thanks again for all the great video demos and tutorials.

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

Yes I will sell a sound set at some point

[@acheron4444]

Nice sounds!

[@jakescotcher5455]

Nice!!! A roland fantom review and soundtest would be much appreciated if you plan on getting one.

[@llandonbroadhead6746]

Should’ve had you do the blade runner 2049 soundtrack. Absolutely beautiful progressions and sound design 😭

[@vanzea]

Soundset, soundset, soundset...!

[@dr.feelicks2051]

Woodpeckers outside my window, coffee in hand, 8 operactor invite, good morning, Montage man.

[@StuartRochabrunt]

You could create an album only with this sounds testing. Wonderful.

[@Phantorion]

Soooo beautiful!!

[@justinb9387]

Montage sounds great , thought that when I first heard one. Your playing , well again it’s brill , always nice to see you play , your always into it and don’t come across as another bored player , top marks ! Cosmic music , you need to hit some magic mushrooms then you will be in that realm !

[@СтаниславР-в7и]

Amazing

[@cuev4]

fantastic

[@marcusjknight]

Hi Matt, whats the best or closest sounding Rhodes patch on the Montage 8 closest to what would have been played at Westlake by Greg Phillinganes in the 1979-82 period for QJ? Is there an additional library for Rhodes patches from Yamaha for the Montage you recomend?

[@reid7374]

wonderful

[@catherineg-d2172]

Awesome!

[@ZElTGElST]

eargasm at infinity in a recurrent self-starting cycle

[@MossSoundsOfMainStage]

Wonderful sound universe as always, whether it is Jazzy or Ambient like here. Matt, what is the best way/media except this Channel (already subscribed and notified) to follow your news, especially about your highly anticipated forthcoming Album ? Thanks for sharing your Art and talent !

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

Thanks! You can find me on Instagram

[@vero_jamiroquai]

Amazing 👏👏🎹👏🔥

[@Superlover]

Absolutely lovely! Is the reverb also coming from the Montage ? Very lush sounding

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

Thanks, yes all sounds from the montage

[@LadisMusicProduction]

Hi Matt,which Rhodes Sound are you Using from Montage ?Thanks

[@dr.alpnasunil5059]

amazing work ,sick sounds...how can i have these sounds on my montage?

[@jacey714]

Epic!

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Enjoying this demonstration, Mr. Johnson. Definitely appreciating the pure tones layered with ring mod. Apparently, one could transfer patches from the DX7 to this model or the MODX. Have you tried doing so?

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

No I haven't tried but I believe that is correct

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Thank you Mr. Johnson.

[@MatthewWilkinson]

wow love these sounds, can you upload them?

[@sawssman965]

Are these stock or did he make them? They're beautiful.

[@danimations80]

Divine

[@bl4nkzz671]

Can you make keyboard lessons on these songs? I really enjoy your stuff!

[@tuneunleashed]

@mattjohnsonsonjamiroquai What do you think if Yamaha could update the OS in this board since it already has the AWM2, FM-X Engines with these new engines for example some engines they’ve used in the past like, AN( Analog Modelling), VL (Virtual Synthesis) , VCM (Virtual Circuit Modelling from the Yamaha YC61), SY-Engine, CS-Engine,An1x Engine ,FDSP with few features of the Yamaha Reface series inside the board! I would like your opinion on that?!

[@gerdakodak]

Dear Matt, after such a long break, this four-minute charge, very little! Please load the my regular Matt Johnson dose as soon as possible! (I have a Montage too, but unfortunately I'm not you ... If I listen to you a lot, I’m going to plant potatoes in it, but it’s okay!) Wouldn't it be hard to replace Boris with Matt? Every musicians would do better... I'm sure!

[@giquo]

If you don't mind, can you tell me the names of the performances you used? this demo just inspired me for something i need to do thanks :) keep it up

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

Thanks! The patches are all ones I programmed myself, I encourage you to have a go and make your own

[@giquo]

@@MattJohnsonJamiroquai I was almost 100% sure you made them, i'l try, first i have to finish learn and understand the algorithms. Thanks man :D definetly the Montage is a blessing

[@youngbb9839]

Please do More Videos !!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@ratclaude7389]

Happy.

[@GiorgioBertuccelli]

it be great to have these patches available to the public free please?

[@TheDJCatface]

What's your opinion on the korg Kronos compared to the montage?

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

I've never used the Kronos

[@BehzadBhandari85]

Plz make these sounds available for download

[@ernestofredrich8235]

👍👍👍....
