YAMAHA Montage M8X - FM-X DX7 Electric Piano (warning, too much '80 vibe :)

YAMAHA Montage M8X, my first play trough of some of the FM-X Electric piano sounds. Exploring the factory programmed Performances, changing Scenes, using the controllers and expression pedals (FC7) of which one is linked to the Super Knob. The firmware v.1.10 was the latest one at the time of recording this video.

I love the 80’s and the DX7 tines! I have this same keyboard and love it. I bought the original DX7 brand new in the 80’s and loved it!

Geeze yamaha enough already with the DX7 we burned out on that 40yrs ago

[@emmerikito]

still digital.....not like a Dx7 ( yes, i know it´s digital too...but ....) or tx not yet...

[@ChordFreak]

Much money for an ePiano🤔 Glad, that I bought a cheap MODX; there's more inside😉

[@knust2329]

Which version did you buy? The MODX8 by any chance? If so, how do you like the keybed? Thanks in advance.

[@AudioAtmos]

You’re not suggesting this is all this synth can do…are you! Didn’t your mother teach you lying is wrong? Oh and no way the MODX could accomplish the ending material. Poly AT and probably more polyphony happening.

[@ChordFreak]

@@AudioAtmos My mother??? You know her? Interesting. I suggest nothing!!! Don't know, which high limits you are reaching with "piano". I'm playing most imaginable complex music with my MODX and am far from polyphony limits. This 8-part limit, which ONLY Yamaha has, I solved too. And I am coming from organs ... no polyphony limits at all. I am used to play in a manner, you cannot imagine in your wildest dreams. Because those workstations are the worst playable machines I ever had under my hands. Conclusion: something for sequential-playing-piano-players. And that's what we see here on YT. Piano, piano, piano... What we don't see: those hundreds of bugs and even buggy samples. Do you know some? I do! Now I have a suggestion: when you are using 20% of the features/samples/menues/capacities I am using with my MODX, we can duscuss about who teached what to me;)

@@ChordFreak I don’t need to know your mother to make that comment. Like most that can’t defend their comments they go into a completely different subject to distract from the fact they goofed. You made a comment about the expense of the M8x and comparing it to your “cheap” MODX. You mentioned nothing about musical prowess. Your comment can’t be taken anyway but as a comparison and that somehow the M8x is not worth the money or whatever. This could only be taken as a statement of technicality. I stayed on subject. If you wanted to make a long, boring philosophical comment about how equal music can be played on both then you should have. Instead you had to make some comment that really is irrelevant to anything. I see these type comments constantly and just about 100% of the time it’s out of some sort of envy. No need to respond because I know you’ll never admit that once again…you goofed.😘

[@AudioAtmos]

@@ChordFreak There are few bugs and the samples are great. The AN-X engine kicks ass and the FM-X great too. Oh that’s right the M8x can combine all 3. The factory patches only scratch the surface of the keyboard. I have already played performances that take more advantage of its capabilities. It will only get better. I hardly ever play the pianos. I’m in it for original sound capabilities without being tied to computer. I’ve owned three workstation in my life since 1989. The SY77, EX5 and M8x. First, I’m a multi-instrumentalist. Guitar being primary. I grew up with a Piano in the home so I finally (at 59) wanted to get a fully weighted 88 key keyboard that has modern engines and modern functionality. I didn’t want to get into analog modular stuff. Bottomline I never said the MODX was a bad keyboard and very capable in its own right. You’re the one making good/bad comparisons. Why the hell would I dislike the MODX when it’s part of the same family???
