rosetree Unregistered	High-resolution pictures of the Montage display (originally taken from the Yamaha website when the Montage was still there) with qualified comments: http://sandsoftwaresound.net/montage-prelim-3/

rosetree Unregistered	Too early to say, but it seems the Montage will not allow for the large Gigabyte libraries the Kronos can use with its streaming technology. I think Yamaha have taken a different approach.

Or a pa4x or kronos on top of your montage... Kronos has so much to offer , as does tyros 5..... And the montage cant replace either of them ... Tough would add a lot to both of them.. _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Oasys/kronos technollogy is about 10 years old, its kind of late if the montage was a pure reaction to the Kronos... Amd just 2 engines is kind of thin... I think however the Montage will challenge musicians creativity more then any other synth in a very long time... Its all about creating new sounds... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

spalding1968 Senior Member Registered: 09/19/08 Posts: 1264 Loc: United Kingdom	But not about creating completed productions on the keyboard . This instrument cannot compete with a Kronos because it's simply not a workstation . No sequencer . This is a massive oversight and will immediately exclude buyers like me who still want to use a workstation keyboard and create musical ideas as they occur. What a waste of anticipation .

abacus Senior Member Registered: 07/21/05 Posts: 5350 Loc: English Riviera, UK	Most of the write-ups/adverts call it a synth not a workstation, so missing a sequencer would not be unusual. (Synths are usually designed for sound creativity rather than anything else) Not many more days to go now, before the whole cats let out of the bag.

rosetree Unregistered	The Motif XF was a workstation. If the Montage and its future lightweight versions (MoXF successor) don't have an internal sequencer, they will lose the status of a workstation and surely not few potential buyers. That means abandoning a portion of the market. Still not 100% sure I think.

The Montage will have a sequencer... Its just not named in the article as only new features are named.. There will also be arps... Not named, but both have been reversed engineered from the pictures... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net
