"We're told that this will be Yamaha's new flagship synth, so speculation is rife that it could be a replacement for the Motif range. That would imply that it'll be digital rather than analogue, and aimed at the higher end of the market."

Its an evolution of the Motif, thats why a new name..

The mobile sequencer should be a cross between, Karma funtionallity, arranger(arp), pattern mode (like ableton live), an old fashioned sequencer and more...

16 channels 8 sets...

Dont be surprised is TYROS is finished and a new era will be born in a TOTL Yamaha arranger also down the road..

An arranger will allways be an arranger first... And everything else behind that..

However, if they add a touchscreen to the Arranger line, they might change the name..

Actually i am really starting to hate this keyboard....

I am pretty convinced i have the perfect setup, Kronos+Tyros5... and i am quite sure that this keyboard will end this lovely feeling of having all one could wish for in a single setup...

Again no indication of a full sequencer...

Andertons in the UK has the Montage 6 listed at 2169...

Looks like the US price will be around $2999.

This thing better have a sequencer!!

Perhaps a Performance is the combination of...
Voice/Pattern/Sequence/Motion Sequence

We will all find out in a few hours!!

i hope you can find out how much the motion sequencer has to offer to an arranger player

If this is correct then it's a huge disappointment and this instrument is off my radar . Having a workstation keyboard is about being able to do whatever it is you want to do musically right there in one place in time . I don't see anywhere that the montage has been presented as a workstation and the Anderton specs simply confirm this . It seems to be promoted as a true new synth with novel sound manipulation features . That's great for the synth heads around and will compare favourably with the Roland Jupiter 80


Today will be hopefully the final confirmation . I think the motif X will hold its value for quite some time now
