I chat about the latest version of the Yamaha Montage and play some sounds which I have recently created on it.

I am a keyboard player and a big fan of Jamiroquai project during many years. I learned a lot by listening to the records and watching the live shows . I have always believed that the “Jamiroquai” keyboard sounds that were heard in the songs, it was the highest skill of the keyboard playing . And now your channel is a gift, because we can see how to get closer THAT mythical sound !

[@142wintti7]

These little snippets are absolutely beautiful. I could listen a whole album of this. Wow.

[@soliv27]

This is exactly what I think. Many classic composers wrote short pieces, 'études'....

[@lassel1644]

Matt is probably the best i have ever seen since he always plays beatiful and cool licks.

[@ajotech]

Wow that playing is so mesmerizing and future sonic, amazing Matt!

[@MrArchie800]

I love Yamaha, they may not produce classics in the traditional synth sense but there is just something very solid, musical and playable about them. Love it!

[@BeastlyAnteater]

Your synth demos are top notch, it’s a pleasure to hear the full potential of these instruments at the hands of a talented musician. These are, literally (and I don’t use the word lightly), the only synth demos I’ve seen on KZbin where I thought “damn this riff belongs on a record!” Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@shanjayaweera3036]

The sounds are so beautiful and your playing just carries so much emotion. It's awesome

[@boeingman777]

I would be lost experimenting with this instrument to the point of losing sleep... and my job. Beautiful keyboard with the quality build from Yamaha that's a given. Great demonstration! You're very talented and your love of the music you play is evident.

[@martinkrajcir34]

Woah, this one is epic. I come here to relax. I do love synths but i come here mostly to listen to you playing and i find it one of the most relaxing things ever. Thanks so much for doing these vids!

[@mabillama]

Classy material! Keep it coming! So hard to find reviews with useful impressions and actual first class playing! Thank you!

[@skwaab]

The piece at 6:05 floored me. Like Gran Turismo 4 chill atmosphere was distilled. Utterly gorgeous.

[@momolovic3909]

Once again you bring us into the stars. Thank you, that is SO GOOD!

[@portobovela]

All the gear talk aside, your playing is really inspiring. Thank you for these videos.

[@Edjbeat_science]

One of the best demos I've seen in a while. I'm always a fan of your music!

[@odnilniloc]

Brilliant chops again, not to mention beautiful sounds to match. You really need to put out an ambient jazz fusion record with this stuff on 🤓

[@thebreathalyzer]

Wonderful, thanks for sharing! The evolving sound at the 8:00 mark is divine! Reminds me of the SQ80

[@johnblumstein]

it's always a plesure to listen to your improvisations. Thanx for offering such fine content.

[@Test_Pressing]

Just a quick one to say thanks for the videos. Always super enjoyable and lovely playing. Lovely stuff.

[@ludovicBerquin]

Brilliant, love the FM part starting 12 min. really inspirational, thanks for the vidéo!

[@bashman59]

Fantastic Synth, love your playing, please keep them coming.

[@jaz20083]

Just incredible Matt. The synth part around 6:00 min is just amazing. A pleasure watching you caress your keyboard. My ears thank you.

[@wax494]

The short piece that starts at 4:25 is something else and i cant say enough good things about it, truly incredible patch/sound and arrangement, deep soul affecting music next next next next level

[@masanorimatsuda4462]

Beautiful sounds Beautiful play thank you

[@govorit_i_pokazivaet]

Absolutely fantastic sounds. Montage rocks.

[@drumatic]

Brilliant! Really hope u release a vinyl lp! Gorgeous lush sounds as always!

[@AMarlok1]

Now I understand how were born the Jamiro songs 😎

[@SoundAuthor]

Always a pleasure to just sit and listen to Matt play.

[@brianjmartinmusic]

Nice playing, nice compositions, nice presentation, and really incredible job creating your own sounds. Definitely subscribed. I have a Montage 7 White coming on Wednesday...and this was such a great demo to check out. I am super exited; upgrading from a Motif ES! Thanks a lot Matt, love your music. Many moons ago friend had included a couple songs from Emergency on Planet Earth on a mix tape, and I fell in love with the music. I ordered Emergency on Planet Earth from my local record store on cassette. I don't think I had ever been so excited for an album to come, I think it took two weeks. It did not disappoint. So funny; nowadays I just speak music into my phone and it just plays. I think that waiting for that cassette made me appreciate it more. That album was such a wonderful experience for me.Thank you.

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

I am a bass player learning the piano as it is my first love and you truly inspire me to keep wood shedding. Excellent work.

[@DJdavidoniani]

moments, I just smile with pleasure while listening to your game) great!

[@ImaginationBlue]

Matt I love your work so much. Thank you!

[@TheJamifan]

Awesome 😎 such great playing and the sounds are off the hook, especially love the Jam from 16.42 🎹🎶🙌🏻 I can not wait for the next Jamiroquai project 👍🏻

[@SkillipEvolver]

There was a British pop song in the last year or so which had a reggae vibe to it. I don't know the name.. some lyrics were ' .. I see right through yoou-oouu'. Bouncy bounce bounce. This is similar

[@thebass1x]

Actually this song by Harvey Sutherland is pretty much a fleshed-out version of that little jam! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGmxpqqniZZ4la8&ab_channel=HarveySutherland The similarity is actually quite uncanny haha

[@Empyrean55]

That tune at 5:40 ish reminds me of Steely Dan! I Always enjoy seeing one of your vids pop up in my feed!

[@maciejp7882]

I was going through youtube using my internal built in computer speakers. Now I must turn my studio monitors on. Matt, love your playing and presenting style, there's no one around to stand with you!

[@2chrisward]

VERY NICE patches and playing!!! You inspired me to sample my Korg Minilogue XD into it.

[@LexTNeville]

Couldn't hurt to mention in your videos if you've been working on any releases with those gorgeous vintage vibes. Can't get enough :)

[@RICKTOR30]

Dude I could listen to you play for hours...

[@creatorsremose]

Your ambient snippets are insane! I wish you could make a few tracks (or albums!) like that. 💖

[@caseytator2264]

Amazing man, especially what u do with the EP's, awesome

[@DonaldWaughmusic]

You inspire me big time Matt. I am a bass player who took up the piano nine months ago and have fell in love with the synths. You style is the way I would like to play soon. Thank you for inspiring all of us.

[@brigitte7477]

Very nice of you. I swear I'll buy a synth when I can ! Thank you from France.

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Holy mother of synths! That is super cool!

[@kylew706]

I just love how humble you are about slaying those keys Matt

[@erickbonillalopez]

Love the pads section. Very strong body. The flanger effect dosent sound digital, it sounds like a external pedal. 16:51 amazing crack sound. Reverb is so amazing. Thank you doing it.

[@shookmusic]

That Yamaha Montage sounds really great. Amazing work Matt!

[@anthonyrock5039]

Magic as always!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@josefnaus5898]

Great synth, looking forward to future vids :)

[@anthonysamra7777]

You're extremely talented and informative. Thank you

[@Superlover]

rich and wide sounding. love it

[@javiceres]

The Mini Filter is utterly spectacular. Impressive. Specially how driving its input interacts with the resonance. If Yamaha came up with an V.A. engine with this sort of quality, or implement the Mini filter in the filter section of the Montage/MODX... that would be a game changer

[@joonglegamer9898]

Best part yet, it's exactly the same synth, minus the White color - You can upgrade your "old" Montage to OS 3.0 - and get the Sequencer for free :)

[@elissitdesign]

Great video Matt. Serious talent. SampleBot is a game changer. I suggested a tool like this to Yamaha. It automates a time consuming process of getting a full sample library into one sound patch. I did this manually before and it’s a nightmare. I think it’s what sound engineers at Yamaha had access to in order to create all the patches. I own the ModX.

[@AndrewTSq]

Synth looks great in white!. Great sounding, and a talent that plays them. I want a montage now :) Or a Modx atleast.

[@drumatic]

Was waiting for Stevie Wonder vocals to kick in at the 7:minute mark! Woooh 🙏

[@alexbrown7176]

Song from 4:27 is just amazing. Thank you Matt.

[@javiceres]

He’s a beast

[@SkillipEvolver]

Also the chords I notice sound a little bit like the first 2 chords in seven days in sunny June (verse)

[@WarrenPostma]

I get the feeling you dig the EP sounds on this awesome board. It sounds like they are very responsive to your technique/touch and seems like you're having MUCH fun.

[@luliano]

Simply Amazing!! You should create a song with everything you've done around your video reviews!

[@odnilniloc]

The piano around 18:14 is tremendous 👏🏼

[@_Thorsten]

Sample Robot is a very clever feature! Very useful.

[@gabsauvage]

I go back to theses videos only for the awesome playing 🥰

[@baddriddimworkshop]

this is starting to get in my youtube chanel top 10, lovely times with you mate. And your playing is in my musical culture, i was about seventeen when jamiroquai poped up, for a big funk fan like me, this was pure candy. So thanks for the work and sharing you passion with us.... if i had your adress i would go fid it to rob you all those great synths you show us all the time lol. but i my hands compred to yours they would be kind of wasted...

[@Jamminn555]

Fantastic Matt. Didn't really know the Montage til now. Yes would love to see a separate Robot Sampler video.

[@donovanbeckford5370]

these are awesome sounds!!!

[@jspic4907]

Gtreat sounds! You have really tasty chops, my friend.

[@mathysroggero5862]

👍Yamaha has always been on the stage with the professionals🎹🎼, thanks a lot Matt 🙏

[@MattJohnsonJamiroquai]

Couldn't agree more!

[@VadimShinnik]

Just Awesome! So tasty sounds!

[@Keyboardnut99]

Terrific playing,

[@itaispector6040]

Love your playing!

[@oliviermoreau6627]

What a great player!!! You could give Matt a toy piano, he would make it groove like crazy!

[@eduardorivera-garcia589]

Such a great fusion of all my favorite sounds. Would love a top-down camera angle for future videos. Your fans would love to "borrow" some of these jams.

[@KeysBeMe]

Prepare for church at 9:46...well played sir, well played indeed. Subscribed off that!

[@TheManInCommand]

Beautiful!

[@GNeuman]

The strings at 6:06 are so Pink Floyd Animals....

[@asklfhjaw8o48934]

I thought I was in Chick Corea's "Sorceress" at 6:06 with those left hand chords. I was anticipating the dropping of a heavy guitar riff from DiMeola. Amazing!

[@AirplaiTv]

Looking forward to the Sample Robot video. Very excited

[@kannon3979]

Yamaha should sponsor you because you're using this keyboard the right way Matt.

[@Wulfcry]

12:51 I don't know what being done there but I like it, To me it looks like a part can be sustain independently from another. 16:40 That gives me goosebumps and why does my body moves on its own.

[@saulocisneros]

Same for 16:40!

[@benjaryan]

I'd say for 12:51 that the patch on the RH side is a 'mono' sound, which means only 1 note can be played at a time. This means that even if the sustain is held down (for the other patch) you can still change notes in the RH without sustaining. It sounds really nice :)

[@starthemoonlight9458]

I love your videos and playing! I’d love to see you demo your OB-6 some time :)

[@Crookthatsme]

That Rhodes tone at 9:45 is just stunning.

[@ricimax]

He makes it look so damn easy!

[@Retrogamer71]

4:45 sounds like a cue for a vapourwave track.

[@thelantern9075]

Really cool music. This guy can play.

[@DarylWiseJr]

I was praying for a download link for these sounds in the description! Just got a Montage and the EP at 9:46 sounds like a Nord killer to me. Really hope you can release these patches!!

[@Phuzz828]

taking us to church! pls just post an hour long vid of your rhodes playing and soul sounds

[@RayyMusik]

Oh yes, please make a video about the sample robot! I have a Moog and would like to play its waveforms with polyphony on my MODX.

[@felipeopazomusic]

+1 please do a video showing how you sample other synths on the Montage. Really great content on your channel, all the best from Chile Matt.

[@Moessieurs]

@@felipeopazomusic Hi, here is my video in French subtitle in English about how to sample a synth with sample robot kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmabYpich9yBla8 hope it's help

[@wangkentaro]

Fantastic ✨🌈⭐️🌙🌈✨✨🌈⭐️🌙🌈✨ ✨🌈⭐️🌙🌈✨✨🌈⭐️🌙🌈✨美味しいは嬉しい からきました。素晴らしいサウンド PCをoffにできない〜ずっと聴き続けたくて〜

[@krist0sh]

9:46 patch... holy chills....

[@pihermoso11]

what is it called?? what are the individual sounds/instruments/modulation effects that make up this patch?

[@lukeweston1234]

pi hermoso Rhodes sound with tremolo or vibrato

[@pihermoso11]

@@lukeweston1234 thanks

[@rogersalles200]

I need this...no matter what!

[@aantetomaso]

Hi Matt, it's a joy to hear you play the Montage. I am a big fan of Jamiroquai and you :-D. What about sharing some patches on Soundmondo? It would be great!! Thx.

[@felipeidromel6071]

So good, thanks

[@The_Invisible_Man]

Jeeez, i think you shifted a few units with this demo

[@chuchunichichi]

Matt, I am imagining you and Jeff Beck doing a collab. I'd love to see that before I meet my Maker!

[@paintedfoxes9889]

I might have to pick one of these of for the record i am working on- paintedfoxes

Storm Trooper I love it

[@SkillipEvolver]

15.07 Music of the mind? :-D (I know the chords are different) After which : 'Lucky Fellow' Leroy Hutson Incredible sounds Matt! Thank you again! Dreamy stuff
