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.
This product is sold in the name and on behalf of Yamaha Music Europe GmbH (UK). Please Click here for a copy of the Yamaha General Conditions of Sale document. You can view Yamaha's Data Protection Statement here.

We accept most major brands of keyboards that are under seven years old as long as they are in good condition and in full working order. Click this link to complete our easy online trade-in form, and we'll get right back to you with a valuation. If you don't have the box and packaging for your instrument, you may need to bring it to one of our stores and collect your new Montage M at the same time.
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.

Agency-Supplied Digital Pianos
Some digital pianos are sold by Bonners on an agency basis on behalf of the manufacturer and have their own subsidised delivery charges.
Delivery charges for agency-supplied digital pianos range from FREE to £175, depending on the piano model, delivery service and your location.
Because these products are supplied under separate manufacturer arrangements, our standard Boxed Delivery and Professional Installation charges do not necessarily apply.
The applicable delivery service and price will be clearly displayed at checkout before you complete your order.
Upstairs Delivery & Special Access
Our standard Professional Installation prices are based on straightforward ground-floor delivery with suitable access.
We can deliver many digital pianos upstairs, but this depends on the piano model, delivery location, staircase and access. Some larger instruments may not be suitable for upstairs delivery, and an additional charge may apply.
If you require upstairs delivery, or have narrow doorways, steps, restricted access or any other concerns, please contact us before placing your order.
We may ask you to provide photographs of the delivery route or staircase so that we can confirm the best delivery option for you.
Call us on 01323 639335 or email sales@bonnersmusic.co.uk and we'll be happy to advise.
Remote & Offshore Locations
Additional charges may apply to some parts of Scotland and Wales, the Isle of Wight and other remote or offshore locations.
Please contact us before ordering if you're unsure whether your address is covered by our standard delivery services.

- Crane and specialist lifting access where required
Additional charges may apply for:
- Scottish Highlands
- Offshore and island locations
- West Wales
- Difficult-access properties
- Stair carries or specialist access requirements
Any applicable additional delivery charges will be confirmed in advance.
Piano Delivery Questionnaire
Prior to delivery, we will ask you to complete a short Piano Delivery Questionnaire. This allows us to assess access arrangements and ensure the safe delivery and positioning of your instrument.
This helps protect both your property and your piano whilst ensuring our delivery team arrives fully prepared.
Second-Hand & Oversized Products
Our standard FREE delivery over £250 offer does not apply to all second-hand or oversized products.
Additional delivery charges apply to:
- All second-hand keyboards
- Some oversized products measuring more than 120cm in length
- Products requiring specialist handling or delivery
Where applicable, the delivery charge will be calculated automatically at checkout based on the items in your basket and your delivery postcode.
If you're unsure about the delivery charge for a particular instrument, please contact us before ordering and we'll be happy to advise.
Pre-Orders & Out of Stock Items
If you order a product that is temporarily out of stock, we will contact you as soon as possible to confirm the expected lead time.
If you would like to check availability before placing your order, our sales team will be happy to help.
For many popular or newly released products, we can also take a small deposit to reserve your place in the queue ahead of new stock arriving.
Order Tracking
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email containing your tracking number and courier details.
You can track your shipment directly with the courier once dispatched.
Removal & Disposal of Existing Acoustic Pianos
