The Montage series of synthesizers is currently Yamaha's best, and the Montage 8 model is the pinnacle of this line.
Maximum Authenticity
The synthesizer is nearly one and a half meters long and half a meter deep, weighing 29 kg. These dimensions classify it more as a stationary studio instrument. 88 Balanced Hammer keys provide the full sensation of playing a real grand piano.
The foundation for Montage's incredible sound capabilities is the revolutionary Motion Control Synthesis Engine, which grants the model's acoustic and synthetic tones maximum authenticity.
Montage also addresses the "Achilles' heel" of many workstations — sound interruption when switching tones — by utilizing Seamless Sound Switching technology. Tones switch smoothly without disrupting the sound.
Control and Connectivity Options
The model features an intuitive interface. The controls are arranged for maximum convenience, and the new assignable SuperKnob controller allows for the simultaneous management of multiple parameters. Additionally, the model features a large touchscreen that also serves as a control interface.
The connectivity options of the model meet all modern requirements of the music industry. The rear panel includes all necessary connectors for full integration with professional acoustic and recording systems. There are also connectors for connecting 4 sustain pedals and assignable controllers.
Given such powerful functionality and a decent cost of nearly 5000 USD, the absence of a sampler in the model is somewhat unexpected. The manufacturer explains this by pointing out that today, DAW software and computers are increasingly used for music creation. For these, the USB interface of the model supports a full 16-channel MIDI.
Montage 8 is a modern powerhouse workstation that fully meets all the requirements of professional artists and composers but is more tailored for "live" sets. This should be taken into account when choosing an instrument, and it may be worthwhile to consider a more economical and compact combination of a MIDI keyboard and a laptop.
