Welcome Home YAMAHA MONTAGE M8X | Bye Nord Stage 3

[@jaydezproductions2081]

Its a blessing to be part of a Ministry that believes in top gear for their Musician and caters to your needs. Whatever works for you it alls that matters. Keep up the good work!!

[@ServingMyJesus]

I am a Yamaha keyboard player, therefore Yamaha all the way. I was able to sample a Nord earlier thi year and it was all right. I know that many churches like Nord, but I get all I need from Yamaha and cheaper! Thank you for your review and stay blessed in Jesus' name.

[@jaidenhenry3247]

Them M8X with the modules is literally perfect lol, Good choice man

[@John007Jackson]

Kell, I Love It. I just sold my Montage 8 and bought the Montage M8x. I'm a pianist and my studies for 5 years were on 7 and 9-foot grand pianos by Yamahas and Steinway. Yamaha has always done the best job at capturing the grand piano feel. that's the NUMBER one seller for me, that feel of that board, the montage M8x nailed it with a wooden keybed, OMG the dexterity is awsome on that board. Being able to manipulate your sound in a more precise way is clutch. I'm blown away at those pianos and synths.

[@Bobkork]

Wow, that's even more enthusiasm than I would've expected. Have ordered the M8X as one of the first in Copenhagen. Thx for the affirmation!

[@jimwatson723]

Awesome keyboard. I bought the Nord Stage 4 88-key when it released earlier this year. It is phenomenal. A "glorified midi controller" it is not. I would argue that paying nearly $6k for an instrument only to use it as a controller is a huge waste. With the Stage 4 I can do what required three or more instruments previously. I'm just now getting into its MIDI capabilities; programmable and routeable "per program". A beautiful instrument for sure. When the Montage M series was introduced it definitely caught my attention. I think I'll someday pair a M7 with the NS4, which should be a fairly unbeatable combination.

Keep posting band covers bro i always play it going to work....God bless you

[@KellBailey]

Much love bro! More stuff coming.

[@revp01]

Congrats. I’ve thought about upgrading to Montage M8. Mainly because of the coming full functioning VSTi version of it. Biggest selling point to me.

[@gorapopkin104]

ESP available only with Montage M . They will never sell it separately

[@christopherpederson1021]

That keybed is pure butter and feels insanely good. maybe yamaha will release the same action in a cheaper model, but who knows.

[@Bashanvibe]

Congrats on your new baby!!! I just brought the Fantom flagship!!! I can’t buy the new Montage my wife will cuss me lol!!! My church isn’t in the position to invest in gear at the moment!!!! But when they get there best believe I’ll make a note of it!!!

[@KellBailey]

Lol I feel that!! Congrats on your new keyboard.

[@jostxnn]

gonna miss seeing the Nord but looking forward to new things you find in the board.

[@KellBailey]

Yessir!!!

[@johntylerhigh]

Can you make a list of the equipment you use to record/stream yourself and the band in your church services? I’m trying to get into that for reviewing services and seeing where we need to grow…any info would be a great blessing…thank you in advance

[@KellBailey]

Hey check this out! I go over it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3jCnn-ceZt5oKcsi=32RqTP3Zx4ZONFrj

[@neol07707]

1:55 bruh mayne in church like "sing it like you mean that shit" LMFAO

[@KellBailey]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 aye man !

[@calebmusicpro1]

Happy for you! now since you have the Montage you can buy VGSG and load it into your board, and not have to use a bunch of racks, and you can load nord sounds.

[@davidjemison9480]

If you have two keyboard players the Montage M8X and Nord Stage 4 will make incredible sounds together. This is a Keyboard musician dream to have access to both boards at the same time.

[@richardcruz1196]

I am looking for the best quality Rhodes sounds like I hear on songs by Erika Badu, Lalah Hathaway and Al Jarreau from back in the 80s

[@Cam_Lane]

Hey, great video. I play up in MVille at Compass Christian church. Are you still in the RVA area? Love to grab a coffee with ya and dig into the pros and cons, plus love meeting other local worship artists.

[@reebokgoalie256]

Is there anyone did get your patch?

[@antgeeze7129]

eyyYYOOo this is huuuuuuuge!!! My dilemna. I believe is solvvvvvved😂😅

[@BappiSarker]

It's really wonderful. Send us the Nord for our ministry 😇😇😇 that we can use for our church and Ministries.

[@shalomayoola7750]

Still!, the Nord is where the lord is😂

[@KellBailey]

Nord is still dope !!!

[@marcusdo2000]

I knew that he would switch. I am getting a new one, too. Montage M 6

[@isaacfanai2006]

I saw they added new pianos C7, Hamburg Upright, etc. how would you compare those ones from the Nord?

[@justinw72ify]

My guy pull the trigger😂💯💯💯great video

[@KellBailey]

Thanks man lol !!

[@DavidMac8Six8]

I wish it was that simple to replace gear at my church 😅. It's atleast a 6-9 month period with many conversations.

[@demuntresmith6666]

Yamaha m8x nice board. The layout look better than the nord stage 3.Both or good boards

[@dougie6897]

Will you miss not having drawbars? The Nord stage and Yamaha YC both have drawbars…. Do you need them ? Will you miss them ?

[@KellBailey]

Good question! I never once used the nord organ for church. Just pianos and synths etc

[@dougie6897]

@@KellBailey ok thanks… splendid video you made by the way !

[@Admirableprince]

Thanks Kell for this video. I'm currently thinking to switch to Montage 8 and now checking through Montage features to be sure it mactches my style of stage performance. I have two questions: 1. Is it possible to create custom styles or rhythms that can be used in the accompaniment? 2. Is it possible to create an acoustic guitar strumming pattern in one of the tracks of a style/rhythm? Thank once again, looking forward to your answers

[@ChicoBlack]

Kell Bailey Yamaha montage m8x great for advanced players ^Producer Chico Black

[@ChicoBlack]

Thank you

[@Tarheelheat]

What's the polyphony? I've found that Yamaha's polyphony is stuck in the 1900's at 128 notes. When i stack sounds, it suffers.

[@KellBailey]

I stacked 8 sound’s yesterday no cutouts at all!!

[@kennethrembert7514]

256…double that if you’re using user samples.

[@John-lv6uj]

I just bought one and it the best I’ve ever felt. One thing I would like better is make the Black Keys a little shorter which makes us piano players quicker. I’m thinking 1/16 cut it lower

[@yogajoeguy]

I am still on the fence between the north stage four and this keyboard. I am finding out that the Nord is much easier to program on. The Yamaha is good I have quite a bit of Yamaha equipment already. But the one dumb thing that bothers me is, the angle of the keybed. I have stand that I could probably maybe brace at the back to make the keys level. But then to be higher than a normal piano height. It may be a small little quark, but it does bother me. It would not hurt the plane ability but why can't they just make it straight!!!! I mostly play on a real grand piano. Plus the learning curve on this beast will take me about a year. I'm not as young as I used to be.

[@itsmatchew]

Looks nice, wish I could afford one😂😂

[@randyjenkinsmusic]

BOOM!!!

[@KellBailey]

YESSSIR BROTHER !!! Lol

[@jeandenis4374]

Where did you get the piano stand for Piano & Laptop? Also you run stems and sounds from same laptop?

[@marcusmusic25]

What keyboard would you pair with montage m as a second keyboard?

[@KellBailey]

A Roland Fantom!

[@marcusmusic25]

The new one right?@@KellBailey

[@KellBailey]

New one or older model!! Both fantoms are a great options@@marcusmusic25

[@marcusmusic25]

@@KellBailey I use to own a G7. The screen went out. I’ve been sad ever since. SMH. Lol

[@THEoneandonlystika]

Nothing beats the nord😂

[@KellBailey]

Oh yeah lol ??

[@kerylmcjohnson]

I didn't think you'd switch tbh but I really hope you enjoy the board. Curious to why you didn't upgrade to the stage 4

[@KellBailey]

I didn’t get a chance to play the stage 4. When I played the montage it won me over instantly!!

[@firecracker1075]

What do you use to record the band video?

[@KellBailey]

A iPhone and Irig 2 connected to a IEM

[@OptimaMrL]

You don't need a Nord to serve the Lord. Ya ... ma ha?

[@Prinbg._-567]

So u are definitely gonna buy ur own Yamaha Montage M8X fr?😂

[@KellBailey]

If my wife lets me lolol

[@SDBROOKS08]

Scamming. That's why I cant just give crazy on the offerings and what not. Church blowing money on "outdated equipment" smh

[@KellBailey]

Stay tuned for a updated video to provide clarity! The montage was for a different location to replace a 2002 motif! it just so happened that they want the montage to stay at this location. SO therefore the nord replaced the motif at our other location.

[@BADKEYZPLAYZ]

Read 2nd Corinthians 9:7

[@KellBailey]

BINGO!!! @@BADKEYZPLAYZ

[@tmntsfinest754]

@@thymick5581the chapter also talks about not giving out of obligation or necessity. The crux of this conversation is that the original comment is written by someone with a heart issue, and they’re using this man’s video to project their internal fear of letting go of their money. If you’re afraid that your offering is going towards “scammers”, then you need to question your faith and maybe your church if there’s evidence to your fear.

[@BADKEYZPLAYZ]

@@thymick5581 did u not read when it said “So let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Don’t Get mad at me sir cause the guy said “this is why I can’t just give crazy offerings” which means he ain’t a cheerful giver by the looks of it. So plz don’t get mad at me it is what the word say and not my sayings.

[@tuneunleashed]

Ight dude…stop switching this time.

[@marcusdo2000]

NORD STAGE is ok.

[@KellBailey]

respect!

[@davidjemison9480]

Your spoiled lol

[@anthonycraig5918]

Dude you are bugging for real, the pianos are literally sound the same as most of the sounds, the analog stuff is better, can’t believe your church just buys you grip like that,no way you hated the original and love the new one,all 🧢,just my opinion I still rock with you though, I mean it really doesn’t matter the board church kats just going to use the same few sounds anyway

[@KellBailey]

Lol maybe the pianos are the same. With that being said I still stand on my original thoughts. The original montage “feel/keybed” was a dealbreaker. That made me hate the board. Also keep watching I plan on going crazy with the sound design on this board. It’s to powerful just to use 3 sounds.
