The Montage series of synths is Yamaha's finest to date, and the Montage 8 is the pinnacle of the line.
Maximum authenticity
The synthesizer is almost one and a half metres long and half a metre deep and weighs 29 kg. Such parameters refer it more to the class of stationary studio instruments. The 88 Balanced Hammer keys give you the feel of a real grand piano.
The Montage's incredible sonic capabilities are powered by the revolutionary Motion Control Synthesis Engine, which brings the model's acoustic and synthetic tones to life with maximum authenticity.
Montage also solved the problem of the "Achilles heel" of many workstations — sound interruption when switching timbres — through the use of Seamless Sound Switching technology. The tones switch smoothly and the sound does not cut off.
Control and connectivity options
The model has an intuitive interface. Controls are conveniently located, and the new assignable SuperKnob controller lets you control multiple parameters at once. In addition, the model is equipped with a large touch screen, which is also a control.
The switching capabilities of the model meet all modern requirements of the music industry. The rear panel has all the necessary connectors for full integration with professional acoustic and sound recording systems. There are also jacks for connecting 4 sustain pedals and assignable controllers.
Against the background of such a powerful functionality and a decent price of almost 5000 USD, the absence of a sampler in the model was somewhat unexpected. The manufacturer explains this by the fact that today DAW software and computers are increasingly used to create music. Just for the latest model USB interface supports full 16-channel MIDI.
Montage 8 is a modern version of a powerful workstation that fully meets all the requirements of professional artists and composers, but is more geared towards "live" sets. This point is important to consider when choosing a tool, and perhaps consider a more economical and compact symbiosis of a midi keyboard and a laptop.
