Yamaha Montage M8X Keyboard
Yamaha has once again established their premium synthesizer dominance with the launch of the new Montage M series. Available with three keyboard options - 61 & 76 FSX synth actions, or the M8x with its 88 hammer action keys with polyphonic aftertouch, the Montage M6 M7 & M8x instruments feature three sound engines including AN-X, AWM2 and FM-X. Add to this a new VCM Rotary speaker effect, Pure Analog circuit 2 technology to enhance the overall presence of the instrument (especially through a PA system), Extended Softsynth Plugin (E.S.P.), and a massively enhanced user interface with new easy-edit pages and shortcuts, the Yamaha Montage-M series sets the benchmark for pro-level stage & studio keyboards.
In my opinion, Montage-M is one of the best, if not the best, synthesizer workstations available today. It has great sounds, is easy to program, has a setlist mode for live players, and has everything keyboard artists have been waiting for. Time for a change!

AN-X Sound Engine
The AN-X is a 3-oscillator analog modelling sound engine for creating warm, fat analogue sounds which can be combined with the other sound generators. AN-X is 16 note polyphonic with two filters, a noise generator, unison modes, FM and ring modulators, Pulse Width Modulation, and Sync per oscillator. This new addition to Montage allows for even greater sound-creation possibilities and can be used to emulate synths of yesteryear and develop new sounds for cutting-edge music production applications.
AWM2 Sound Engine
Yamaha's AWM2 sound engine now has almost double the power of previous-generation Montage keyboards. There are 10GB of ROM samples onboard, plus a further 3.7GB for user samples. The ROM and User sample banks have 128-note polyphony, and the ROM sound set features even more expanded articulation sounds. Each AWM2 voice can consist of up to 128 elements per part, compared with previous-gen models only being able to produce eight elements per part.
FM-X Sound Engine
FM-X is an 8-operator FM synth right inside Montage. More powerful and easier to use than the original DX7 and FM-X engine in the original Montage (courtesy of the new quick edit functions on Montage M), FM-X gives you access to classic digital synth voices from the 80s including punchy basses and sparkling digital EPs. It's possible to convert DX7, DX7II, TX802 and TX816 patches using Yamaha's online FM Converter tool.
Pure Analog Cirquit 2
The upgraded Pure Analog Circuit in MONTAGE M reduces noise and improves the dynamic range, crosstalk, low-frequency phase, and distortion rate, resulting in clearer sound at all volumes. You’ll also find the sound has more detailed low-mids and presence.
Extended Softsynth Plugin (E.S.P.)*
Extended Softsynth Plugin (E.S.P.) replicates the MONTAGE M in your favourite Digital Workstation (DAW). Free for all registered MONTAGE M owners, E.S.P. allows you to create, edit and mix MONTAGE M Performances anywhere you happen to be – without the hardware – offering an unprecedented level of stage and studio integration.
*ESP is due to be released in early 2024
Powerful Multi-Effects
Effects are an important part of what makes modern synthesizers sound so great! Montage M has hundreds of studio-quality effects, including Reverb - 12 types, Variation FX - 85 types, Insertion FX - 85 types, and Master FX - 23 types. It is possible to have 34 Insert Effects running simultaneously: 2 Dual Insert Effects for each of the 16 Parts, plus two Dual Insert Effects applied to the A/D Input.
VCM Rotary Speaker Effect
The great-sounding VCM Rotary Speaker Effect from YC series has been added to MONTAGE M. It is implemented on Insert Effect B and automatically deactivates Insert A.
MIDI Implementation
MONTAGE M features an entirely new MIDI implementation using two Part Modes: Internal/External. The MIDI channel per Part can freely be set. All Internal Parts under Keyboard Control send and receive on the same MIDI channel as set in the Utility menu.
All Internal Parts with Keyboard Control deactivated can receive data on individual MIDI channels. This also allows Part layering, including Parts 9-16. All External Parts are sent on individual channels and feature advanced settings to control external instruments and sound modules.
USB Audio Interface
MONTAGE M features a powerful 6 in/ 32 out USB interface for direct recording audio from the keyboard into your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). The output of all 16 Parts is sent in Stereo simultaneously for recording on individual tracks. There are three USB Stereo return buses back through the USB interface to merge incoming audio with that of the keyboard.
Soundmondo Support
Yamaha's Soundmondo App for MAC, PC & iOS devices allows you to store, share and recall patches created by Montage M users Worldwide. Need a sound for a specific song? Open Soundmondo and search for the title!
