[@slimshekar]

This is such a great tutorial, thank you! I'm a complete beginner and you have helped me decide to get a MoDx8+ and not be too intimidated by it! Please keep these tutorials coming! I am 79 y.o.!

[@soundformore]

Never too late my friend…

[@cordlesswire]

pearly gates is truly epic. i wish it had more, but still sounds phenomenal. probably the best preset ive ever heard on a synth thus far. and it is what? 10 years old or more?

[@soundformore]

Yeah

[@gilsr4619]

It is such a great tutorial. I am a beginner with my Modx and now I can do my first steps. Thank you very much. 👍🏻

[@soundformore]

No problems, anytime

[@andrewczski1969]

How are you doing with it? I'm losing my hair with mine. :)

[@soundformore]

Ask if I can help

[@take942]

You have presented one of THE best instructional videos for getting started using the Montage/MODX. Concise and easy to follow. Thank you!!

[@soundformore]

Thank you very much

[@dealsbetweenfriends]

hardest learning curve ever had.............this 1 yr put it down~! back to learning the basics.........had yamaha for 20 years. it not for everyone!

[@soundformore]

You mean the leaning curve to learn how to use the montage / modx?

[@6AlchemicalDragons]

Good work! People need these types of practical videos for this as it's such a complex instrument. I have the MODX and I am still wrapping my head around all the programming options, but have a good grasp on most of it now. I have had mine for about 5 or so months and have played it a lot. So many good sounds on there it just draws you in. The Motion Sequencing and Superknob features take a lot of learning to get down, but once you get it there is an amazing amount of options you have to set controllers into motion with automation it's just amazing.

[@soundformore]

Yes agree, truly amazing…

[@jozsefnagy7104]

Extremely helpful. Thanks for this video. MODX seemes to be a bit harder to tame than earlier models such as MOX or MOXF.

[@soundformore]

Yes not intuitive or simpler as it used to be, i think the navigation could be better…

[@andrewczski1969]

@@soundformore Had mine for 1.5 years and drives me nuts. 😥

You are welcome

[@justsome_body]

Awesome!!!

[@soundformore]

Thanks

[@paulzarvisMusicProducer]

Thanks so much for this! Im thinking of using this keyboard together with my Nord Stage 3 in a live set up. Any ideas on how to connect them so that the Nord controls the sounds coming from the MODX+? Thx

[@soundformore]

Midi? Cable or Bluetooth?

[@paulzarvisMusicProducer]

@@soundformore probably MIDI or cables

[@soundformore]

So mid out from the nord and midi in in the modx+

[@mark35mi]

Brilliant. Thank you.❤

[@soundformore]

I need to do more, but there is a new unit coming shortly

[@thesoundzweddingpartyband9276]

Thanks, handy to know this.

[@marcelsaxer6458]

Just got my first synth ever (MODX+) and love it. Your video is a great help learning about my new darling!

[@soundformore]

That is great, I am about to upload some new videos on how to create FM presets from scratch…

[@TommyRobinsoncat]

Once you set it up, how do you save it?

[@soundformore]

Store option in the menu…

[@patrickbig1960]

Please show us how to set up the tempo...thx a lot

[@soundformore]

What exactly do you what me to show please?

[@patrickbig1960]

@@soundformore I just get the yamaha montage 8 but I don't know how to associet the rythm like drum tempo while I'm playing so I can go along with it. That what I need younto help me with please. Thank you a lot for respo ding to my message Sir. Peace

[@soundformore]

So just to make sure ai understand, you want to have a rhythm playing on a drums and change the tempo and after that you want to play along with it… is that right?

[@patrickbig1960]

@@soundformoreYes Sir. Exactly that what I need. Thank you

[@JoseVGavila]

Nice video, keep them coming!. There is an slight error at the end, as the KEYBOARD is still selected and you are changing the keyboard range for the DRUMS each time you press a key. Not big deal for the demo, though

[@soundformore]

Yes I noticed that after I published the video, thank you

[@JoseVGavila]

@@soundformore it happens to me with my Montage all the time, LOL

[@nghiado1177]

Hello, I setup the drum and key split but all other keys are still responding and play the selected rhythm, please help. Thanks

[@soundformore]

Sounds like a key range issue…

[@premasdarwinofficial8328]

While You touch screen ..some thing like white lights showing what is that????

[@soundformore]

If you are referring to the light under my fingers, it is what it does when I click the screen…

[@isaacdolores4493]

My problem is that I want to lower the volume while in performance, and when I save it it hits store. And I move it to Live sets, nothing sounds anymore. To make it sound I have to do it as I did at minute 6.28. Help please

[@justiniangoldrif]

So, how do you save the performance you built so that it shows up in the live set?

[@soundformore]

Select performance, Shift + live set button, then select slot, then press enter

[@justiniangoldrif]

@@soundformore thank you

[@soundformore]

👍

[@adas19581024]

thank you so much. much appreciated. one question though - does all the things you showed work the same way in MODX61 ?

[@soundformore]

With some small adjustments on the keyboard itself (like faders, buttons) as it is different, yes…

[@LapinouBug]

Hi, How do you make the Pad part latch? Because the pad sound will cut as soon as I release the keys. I can make the Bass and the Drum parts latch, but not the Pad. Thx.

[@soundformore]

Sorry but I would like to understand more before I try answering… latching a single part ? Only until you press another key or playing another chord? Do you have an arpeggiator running for the Drums and Bass? What about the pad?

[@LapinouBug]

Hi, Sorry for my bad explanation. I would like the Pad continue playing even though I released the keys. Because at the moment, if I do not hold the keys down, the Pad will stop. I have changed few arpegiator settings for the Bass and Drum so that they continue to play even if I release the keys. But it does not work with the Pad. Thx.

[@soundformore]

@LapinouBug have you tried an arpeggio to the pad and latch that? Or do you simply want the pad latch without arpeggio? I guess the latter right?

[@LapinouBug]

The Pad that you show in your tutorial have few arpeggios running in them already. I would like their arpeggios to latch even if I release the keys. (I set the latch option to On in all the parts that make up this Pad Performance, but it does not help. It only works for the Bass and the Drum.)

[@soundformore]

@LapinouBug add a part, select a pad and also an arpeggio for the correspondent scene selected. Activate arpeggio for the part. Edit the part. Select arpeggio and advanced. Make sure trigger mode is set to toggle and not gate. Does that help?
