I recently got my hands on the new Yamaha Montage M8X and I think it's a really awesome synth / workstation. Here are my first impressions.

How would you compare the keybed feel to the Fantom8 ?

@Khordmaster 5 ай бұрын

They are both extremely good ... top notch. very similar IMO

do those fingerprints on the front panel wipe off easily? how is the internal fan noise? noticeable to be annoying?

@Khordmaster 2 ай бұрын

Fan noise non existent / not noticeable to me … fingerprints … I never noticed lmao I just noticed the dust. I’m sure the fingerprints wipe off easy tho

I'd love to see a video of your workflow with the Montage. Also- have you used the Montage M's sequencer?

@Khordmaster 2 ай бұрын

Suppppp! Channel members can request a video! Check it out if you’d like! And I have but I REALLY don’t like it compared to what I’m coming from: the Roland Fantom

@@Khordmaster Yeah I'm in a toss up between the Montage M and Fantom 8. I like sounds of the Montage more but recoding looks SO easy with the Fantom and that's what I need it for. Also the Fantom's about a grand chapter. But that Montage man... That thing makes me feel something.

@@The.Foolosopher so well said! Yeah I have a lot to say about the differences. You pretty much nailed it. Recording on the Fantom is so straight forward!!

Maybe use a DAW like Cubase 13. Its so easy to use.

@Khordmaster Ай бұрын

Heard good things about Cubase! But I prefer being able to make stuff right on the keyboard itself like with the Fantom

Looks like Clair de Lune? Nice. I have a Yamaha P515 for (silent) classical playing. But I must say I prefer to use my iPad with Pianoteq because I feel the internal sound is rather meh. I wonder how the piano sounds of the Montage compare? But most likely they are not as top notch as Pianoteq, Keyscape, etc? But then again the Montage is not just for Piano playing :)

@Khordmaster 5 ай бұрын

interesting! I thought the piano sounds were stellar on my p515. I love that digital piano so much... I've never used pianoteq but you got me intrigued right now... piano sounds on montage are I think identical or better than the p515

Roland sound engineers and product management suck! the sounds are flat and dead, maybe the platform is capable, but the sounds are programmed so poorly that it sounds like a sample player from teh 90's. Basically what you are saying is that Fantom just doesn't sound good, so what is a musical instrument good for if it doesn't sound cool? I'm thinking about buying my Fantom 8, so disappointed in Roland and about the money I'm going to lose because this Fantom thing is a scam! Enjoy your Montage, I hope I'll be able to get one someday.

i don't think rolands sounds suck, i just like yamahas better on the montage compared to the fantom... but yeah this board is sick.. hope you're able to get one!

Jezzz, I feel like I'm back in the late 80's... Yamaha DX7 vs Roland D50! The Fantom and Montage are 2 completely different boards with completely different sound architectures. If your taste leans more towards warm lush synths, then the Montage is for you. Others prefer sounds build around high-quality instument samples. It all comes down to preference. ...even scarier, it all really comes down to chops! I remember watching a commercial with Herbie Hancock play the sh*t out of a cheap Casio. The quality of whatever sound he was playing didn't make a difference.
