5.000 $ for the M8 🤣 Why not 6000 Or 7000 ? Seriously, comparing the Montage with the Montage M specs and the huge gap of prices between the both, I will never replace my Montage with this one. This price range is a complete nonsense... ☹️
Why no Poly-Aftertouch on 61 & 76 models? That's a silly decision Yamaha, after waiting these many years. Why literally made it a big deal for 88? Many of us prefer 76 keys. Please don't say things such as without GEX Hammer Action, you can't have Poly-AT. Please learn from the "Waldorf - Iridium Synthesizer", it has a synth action keybed and still got Polyphonic-AfterTouch. The keys are already shorter on the M6 & M7 and Montage 7 & 6 and now no Poly-AT. Total disappointment Yamaha. We cant get the M7 and M6 to use their full potential...... Such a shame.
Could always buy a Hydrasynth Deluxe and M6 for a little more. Gaining you poly AT and another 16 voice synth. Crazy they didn’t add Poly AT to the 7 though
Maybe they think they can sell more 88key versions that way?...kind of a lame strategy if it was true. But then again, in the demos of the 88key version i don't find the poly at thát much of a deal-maker/breaker to me, sound wise its not thát obvious, for what i heard in the demo's of the m8x...its a of a bit overhyped function in my opinion...(got the m6 instead, more compact design, and not needing a forklift to get it up the stairs 😅)
@@TheEdwin73 It's a flop keyboard compared to the original Montage, they had 7 years to bring significant improvements on the instrument but they didn't. And the offset screen on the M6 was a design flow compared to M7, M8x, Original Monrage series and all motif series. Never in my life I have seen an offset display on an Yamaha keyboard.
@@TheEdwin73 If you're enjoying it, then only that matters mate. I was just nitpicking and also a bit frustrated because Yamaha's decision making processes.
Poly Aftertouch in the M6 and M7 would have made this series perfect IMO, as it should be more of a synth feature than a piano feature, but I'll see if I can save up for the M8 by the time the next series comes out! 😅
Sampled organ, same rotary as YC. Trigger point is a physical thing. Either lowerer trigger point to make it fit for more types of keyboard/synth sounds or high for organ. It will always be a compromise. I wouldn't go for high trigger point here, where it has so many other sounds than organ, but I understand your point. Best
Love these demos, but I wish people would play more interesting sounds. Everyone starts off with pianos. At this stage of the game, I can't see any synth being able to improve any further on them. Let's hear something else.
tbh this just sounds like every other demo from every other keyboard, show the bread and butter sounds and thats it. it does not promote this keyboard at all, its just like oh another demo of piano strings etc. get Bert back and let him do some descent demos cos these are just, hmm why bother its just another keyboard that sounds the same as the others im sorry to say. this is just my opinion. im a nobody, but even i could have come up with a better demo than this fgs
Hi Yamaha Team. I wish I had not bought the first Montage model and waited till this second Montage model came out. Because I must say it’s a hugh upgrade and much easier to use. Greatings Jacob.
@@YouKilledYourMaster nord- actual life like sampling of pianos- lots of different character based options, with sampled noises, organic tone etc. I've owned Motif Rack ES and soundwise there's nothing really developed from those days
The dum drum bass sound; it sounds exactly like the patch i set yesterday on my Yamaha CS30, it made me smile to think that after all the time between these two synths the sound was still unmistakably Yamaha!
Far better than orginal Montage to be honest. The new screen with quick edit and controllers below lets you control most of the parameters instantly. Jump page is a massive upgrade. Check it out, you will see when you try it.
I wonder what the physical dimensions of the Montage M8X will be? It would probably be too big and long to fit on my keyboard shelf under my music desk.
I like the direction where Montage line is going… Polyphonic aftertouch on M8x is good to hear, AN-X engine (finally!), 128-element (layer) AWM2 sounds, and they trying to improve UI. Kudos to Yamaha! 🎉 I swear to purchase one after Yamaha include VL-X, VP-X and FDSP engines + adding FS part from FS1R to FM-X as well. :) No need for large polyphony on these. BTW: Do you know if new Montage can import AN1x/PLG150-AN/Reface CS sounds? I haven’t found anything about that.
There's a campaign to shame Yamaha for lack of PAT on 6/7 could be for the next 7 years & pushing only the M8 in most demos. I ordered the M6 because I have (2) MPE+ Osmose units & the ASM Hydrasynth with PAT but even so Yamaha is pushing this GEX when without it the cost would have been the same $500 upcharge for each unit. Most player can't carry or afford the M8 yet Yamaha flaunts the M8 like shaming customers for not buying that model. Not saying the paid demo people are but they also can't be objective when getting paid. The shame is all on Yamaha for cheapening products and cheating customers &/or forcing them to go big for a better feature. I've purchased and owned almost every Yamaha synth/arranger in the last 30 years so I'm not from the other side taking cheap shots, I am the Yamaha customer base paying their bills. I've repaired hundreds of Yamaha synths and personally soldered thousands of their tact switches like on the SY series alone. I can speak that this was a really sad and pathetic option to cheat customers when Yamaha is the Godzilla of innovation and sound. Very embarrassing Yamaha and to be very clear a "Pianist" doesn't need PAT nearly as much as a "Synthist" or "keyboardist" does per your own advertising terminology.
Oh here we go with the old software synths crap! What about the PolyAT midi confroller you need, and the computer? Then of course you still lack the hands-on controls. Thanks, but no thanks,
Korg Nautilus has string resonance. Roland Fantom has string resonance. Yamaha P-250 (released 2003) has string resonance. My Yamaha Montage 8 does not have string resonance. Why can this effect (VRM or VRM lite) not be added to Montage? It can't be the lack of computing power (see Yamaha P-250).
Its a great keyboard for $4500. What concerns me is how acoustic instruments sound: strings woodwinds, brass & percussion. It has good orchestral sounds. But solo instruments, I wonder. In the concert grand there is no natural swelling of the over & undertones as they mingle in the sustain: just the usual dead tone in the fade. Other than a great attack, it's just another digital piano. The great beauty of the acoustic grand piano is how the timbre of the decay caresses the acoustic nerve, making the most amazing bell sound to the ear, sweeter than the sound of the attack. But with all the other features it sure beats the old Farfisas. (:^D
Gentlemen Yamaha programmers have you already corrected the bug that if I put a division point on a specific note, if I later use the transpose, the division point is moved to another note...?? In Roland Fantom it doesn't happen, where you put the division point there is is blocked
Piano and electric piano , symfonic, organ tones can be found on any organ... It's nothing interesting. Music is not made with these tones. Did you not find something else in the hundreds of tones? Are you always boring us with piano tones? Did you hear sint, pad, combinations, ?
Bonjour, excusez moi du peu, mais pour moi ce n'est qu'un simple clavier,avec des recherches de voix, ou sont les styles, les arrangements, les accompagnement et autres...je suis déçu 😢à quoi servent tous ces potentiomètres, ces curseur...à faire beau ?tous cela on peut le faire avec les psr, le genos, etc....je sais de quoi je parle, je suis musicien avant tout...beaucoup de bruit sur les réseaux sociaux pour rien, cela m'invite pas à l'acheter, je suis possesseur, d'un psr,genos et bien d'autres....amicalement 😊
If it had CS-80 model with a full ribbon as the Hydrasynth has, RM1x groovebox tools and some sampling it would be surpassing the Fantom and shocking the music world. As it is, it is just for a church organist and misses the home musician and DJ type mass market.
Agreed, had they decided to not leave off PolyAT on the 6 and 7, Roland would have had some competition. As it stands, Roland can comfortably sit back, release their Fantom M with PolyAT across the range and it’ll be a slam dunk.

@@X22GJP They could probably extend the model range to include PolyAT on smaller models if there will be demand for that (add “x” models).

Definetely not. Even compared to orgina Montagel it sounds much better to me. Done A/B test with both Montage M vs Montage, Montage vs MODX and Montage M vs MoDX. massive difference. That said MODX is still very good.

Can u turn that throbbing knob button off it’s like a toys r us toy!
Can’t wait to play it!!
Bro do a review of the pianos versus Keyscape or grandeur or noire or synthage
I have so much respect for Yamaha. It might be time for me to upgrade.
I'm still using my Korg Triton Extreme 88, but damn if that Yamaha isn't an absolute beast. I think I know where next year's tax return is going.

Even if if M7 had it, keep 6 as the budget one. Missed opportunity I think
I totally agree. This may be the reason why I will wait for other brands. I have space for a 61 keys version but I want one with poly aftertouch.
Now I am going to sell my kidney to buy this greatness xd
oh shit these are amazing sounds, especially the hamburg grand sounds really accoustic

Don't see anything fantastic about demo as it showcase MONTAGE M as a keyboard for cover bands.
@@alicaramba7680 define "Cover Bands" and why you think this demo showcased this synth for that kind of band specifically?
Why there is a compressor in every sound ? This is the dumbest era of humankind. Bye bye
sounds great but I hate ui that is basically a computer screen.... sliders and knobs look like they are from an m-audio contoller thrown in.
M-Audio has made great controllers in the past, shame on you.
