Parece que Korg vuelve a los acabados en plata aluminio, se va a volver a poner de moda mi Trinity V3 
#229 jejeje y que lo digas! aunque el que se llevaba la palma en ese sentido era el Triton, el Trinity no es tan rugoso (de hecho diría que es aluminio) y mucho mas fácil de limpiar. Pero vamos el que se agencie un Kronos Platinum que prepare palangana trapo y un chorrito de amoniaco

Al final Soundprogrammer va a tener razon.
Motor FM ampliadito y portentoso!
Esto lo he visto en music player, donde indican q la fuente es motifator
“An amazingly sophisticated pure synthesizer engine capable of producing classic ‘80s or cutting-edge EDM sound with incredible dynamic range, power and fidelity. MONTAGE features an 8-operator FM architecture and 128-note polyphony, allowing for a massive array of sound design options.
Powered by proprietary Yamaha technology for data compression and sound playback, AWM2 allows tremendous data compression without sound quality loss for unparalleled, realistic sound reproduction.
128-Note, Stereo polyphony
Experience rich stereo sound without halving the available number of notes.
Waveform Capacity
MONTAGE features nearly 10 times the waveform capacity of the MOTIF XF, allowing more samples per instrument for incredibly realistic and nuanced sound.
Integrated Flash Memory
MONTAGE includes 1.75 GB of user flash memory with high speed reading/writing for your own custom samples or synth libraries from yamahasynth.com.
Connect MONTAGE to your computer with a single USB cable and capture every nuance of your creativity into your DAW. MONTAGE’s powerful USB driver can send 16 and receive 3 channels of STEREO 24 bit/44.1 kHz digital audio to/from your computer or iOS device (MONTAGE is class compliant, no driver needed!), no other hardware required!
The USB connection also features full MIDI support of 16 channels.
* MONTAGE supports the sampling rate up to 192 kHz.
The Envelope Follower converts audio into a control source for control of virtually any synthesizer parameter. For example, a drum loop could drive effects parameters for a cool rhythms or a vocal recording could control multiple parameters for a “talking” synthesizer. The audio can even be a “live” source through the A/D input.”
“Motion Control Synthesis Engine unifies and controls two iconic Sound Engines: AWM2 (high-quality waveform and subtractive synthesis) and FM-X (modern, pure Frequency Modulation synthesis.) These two engines can be freely zoned or layered across eight parts in a single MONTAGE Performance.
Interact with MONTAGE Performances using Motion Control: a highly programmable control matrix for creating deep, dynamic and incredibly expressive sound. With Motion Control, you can create new sounds not possible on previous hardware synthesizers.
1. Sophisticated Dynamic Control
Music is expression. MONTAGE adds a new level of expression with the Motion Control Synthesis Engine. This engine allows a variety of methods to interact with and channel your creativity into finding your own unique sound.
- Super Knob
Create dynamic sound changes from radical to sublime with the Super Knob. The Super Knob can control multiple parameters simultaneously resulting in anything you can imagine.
For example: change your listening position from right in front of an instrument to in the back seat of a concert hall. Or radically change the character of a Performance from atmospheric and mellow to rhythmic and edgy.
The Super Knob can even be assigned to a second FC7 foot controller making it easy to manipulate the sound when playing with both hands.
- Motion SEQ
Motion Sequences are tempo-synchronized, completely customizable control sequences that can be assigned to virtually any synthesizer parameter and provide incredible creative new ways of programming sound.
Motion Sequences also have dedicated controls on the front panel making it easy to manipulate and change in real-time, providing incredible interactivity and expression.
- Envelope Follower

- Content
Every instrument needs great content to inspire your creativity. MONTAGE features a huge range of incredible sounds like a brand-new Yamaha CFX Premium Grand Piano, detailed new strings and woodwinds and select content from the DX and TX family, all modernized to take advantage of the Motion Control Synthesis Engine.
Compatibility
MONTAGE is directly compatible with Motif XF Voices. Yamaha is developing an FM converter to make it compatible with DX7 series Voices as well.
Bösendorfer Piano
As part of the MONTAGE introduction, Yamaha is pleased to offer an incredible Bösendorfer Imperial Premium Grand Piano.
- Effects
From high definition reverbs to incredibly detailed Virtual Circuit Modeling (VCM) effects, MONTAGE is loaded with DSP innovation, power and, most importantly, sound quality. Use effects like Beat Repeat, Vinyl Break or Bit Crusher to get a modern EDM sound. You can even add a compressor with sidechain for a modern “ducking” effect. Or go retro with vintage effects like Analog Delay, VCM Phaser or a variety of Amp Simulators. Piano players will appreciate piano-focused effects like Damper Resonance for a super-realistic piano experience and the HD reverbs that let you put yourself in any performance space.
- Pure Analog Circuit
MONTAGE features professional balanced outputs with “Pure Analog Circuit” (PAC). PAC improves the quality of signal after being converted to analog from digital for clear harmonic reproduction and even frequency response. The result is an output capable of reproducing MONTAGE’s internal content expressively with power and clarity.”
3. Streamlined Workflow
How do you want to integrate your instrument with your system? How do you want to organize the onboard content? How do you want to interact with the instrument while you play? MONTAGE answers these questions and more with a flexible, streamlined workflow.
- USB Audio/MIDI Connection
Connect MONTAGE to your computer with a single USB cable and capture every nuance of your creativity into your DAW. MONTAGE’s powerful USB driver can send 16 and receive 3 channels of STEREO 24 bit/44.1 kHz digital audio to/from your computer or iOS device (MONTAGE is class compliant, no driver needed!), no other hardware required!

Está lleno de novedades entre ellos la FM-X y los Motion Control Synthesis Engine y el Motion Sequences que van a dar mucho de qué hablar.
¿Alguien sabe cuantos arpegios contendrá el Montage? El Motif Xf tiene unos 7800 aprox. y el XS unos 6600 aprox.
¿Seguirá teniendo categorías "tradicionales" como jazz, latin, blues, etc?
¿Podrá el Montage leer ( o convertir internamente o mediante software externo de Yamaha) los "Performances" hechos por el usuario del Motif XF o XS, combinando lineas de bacteria, bajo, guitarra, teclados sintes etc.? Es decir ¿Podrá leer y entender esa asignación y combinación de arpegios, splits, sonidos, ecualizaciones etc hechas po el usuario? NO pregunto si sonará igual pues habrá nuevos motores de onda, resolución bits etc.
Si un usuario en el XS o XF ha hecho una performance basada por ejemplo en un ritmo lento de jazz con arpeggio de jazz battery interno, una linea de contrabajo, un piano y una trompeta muda, con los splits adecuados etc... Si eso lo sabra leer o traducir el Montage. Por supuesto que el usuario podría elegir más pianos del Montage (CFX, Bosendorfer etc) pero si al menos puede leer las estructuras que se haya creado el usuario...
La información no-oficial decía que el Montage podría leer las librerias de terceras partes hechas para el XF ( supongo que se refiere a Keyfax y Easysounds principalmente) . Ello supondría que los arpegios creados por esas casas también serían traducibles...y leíbles... o convertibles internamente o mediante software Yamaha...

mod
#238 Es muy pronto aún para saber detalles. Supongo que arpegios estará en la misma línea que los Motif XS o XF.
Lo que no se es hasta que punto las memorias de performance serán compatibles con las anteriores.
Hay que entender el producto introduce una nueva arquitectura de voces y no tienen porqué ser exáctamente
compatibles las unas con otras. No estamos hablando de una continuidad 100% idéntica a la del Motif, pues incluso
cambia la nomenclatura de las series de Motif a Montage, asi que es de esperar cambios importantes.
En cuanto a las librerías pues van a ser 100% compatibles, que ya se ha mencionado en el listado de las nuevas
características del Workstation.
Se va a lanzar un conversor de voces de DX-7 a Montage que está en preparación. Incluso entiendo que la nueva
arquitectura de voces FM viene heredada del FS1R, con 8 operadores y es necesario un proceso de conversión
importante.
Eso si, el que busque esos sonidos típicos del DX-7 los va a tener aquí, en el Montage pero además con unas
posibilidades expandidas respecto a lo visto anteriormente en FM de Yamaha. El instrumento promete bastante
pero hay que oirlo, ver como viene implementado todo el sistema y un largo etc. Lo iremos viendo apartir de
su presentación en la NAMM.
