Yamaha Montage M8X - More Features

In this stream, I'll go through a couple of features that really make the Montage M8X a great performance instrument! I'll also play one of my original pieces at the close of the stream.

Incredible composition at the end Justin. Miss playing with you man!

[@jackfossettofficial]

Great video pal. Fantastic playing as usual.

Thanks for these in-depth instructions on how to configure external controllers with the Montage. I'm planning to purchase Montage and I'm glad it can be used with additional keyboards/controllers.
Also, I could swear that near the end of your video when you perform (demo), that I heard Yanni playing ;)

[@justinhavu]

Thanks so much! Yanni is a huge influence on my instrumental music. So many great sounds.

Love your Vids! Not trying to be a jerk, I’m thinking that’s a Keylab 61 not 88. Appreciate all you do.

[@justinhavu]

Yep, that's a MkII 61. The M8x is the 88. Lol. Extra proof that it's an unscripted demo.

I didn't know Richard Simmons played keyboards?

@@vcr210 Autism spectrum disorder/anxiety. One way for me to ease sensory overload is to dress as light as I'm comfortable with. That's the complicated version.
The simple version: You wear what you like, I'll wear what I like.

@@justinhavugood response Justin.😂

[@heritagelegacy]

I doubt Simmons ever possessed the talent that Justin has. Trust me we’ve shared many stages over the years and this guy is the real deal!

[@tristanmichael2051]

why us such a mic for this? Just use a Lavier/lapel or a basic SM58... I know they give the impression of 'cool wow it's like a radio studio' but really unessesary in many of these types of video.
when the sound of an SM58 and this one for 99% of people is the same.

@@tristanmichael2051 I don't own a lapel mic, and it probably won't be happening soon as I don't record videos on a regular basis -- only when my schedule allows. Not worth the investment right now considering how little I actually use it. Right now, I'm quite happy with the condenser, and the shockmount further isolates the mic.
Also, don't get me started on my complete hatred for the SM58. Lol
