I had a few questions about you guys on what gear I use to record the Montage screen. Here's what I use:
USB to HDMI from Montage: amzn.to/2yEy4wz
Video to USB video capture: amzn.to/39XnihQ (not sure why it's so expensive now, but that's what I got ages ago!)

Dom that was amazing, You are awesome on the keys. Nailed it. thank you.
Dom, you are among the gréatest keyboardplayers!! You got a great féél for sounds!!!
You inspire me! Thanks for this great vid!!!
Adri from Holland
Wow, you nailed it!. Thanks, Dom 👍
I cant believe it and your playing, its really mimicking guitar sound!! And you really played like the acoustic! So many people out there spoiling the capabilities in their keyboard! But you nailed it🥰🥰
Yep the acoustic instruments on MODX are a different league from my 'classic Motif 7' back in the day (which I thought at that time were stunning!...). Must spend more time with these patches, cheers Dom. Looking forward to your NAMM coverage next week 🙂Happy New Year btw! 🍻😎🎹🎶👍
Wow amazing Dom you really got some serious guitar/keyboard skills
How funny. We've just added Hotel California to our set list for 2020. I click as usual on any/every video by Dom and there it is! Great timing. Guitarist/MODX7 performer here. Thanks so much for posting! Gee I hope Don Henley doesn't see this ... he has a habit of taking down any and everything related to the Eagles from UA-cam ... at least in the US. I'd better watch this now!
UPDATE: 12 minutes and 23 seconds later. AWESOME performance, Dom! Beautiful playing. Inspiring use of the Yamaha. Ready to go fire up my MODX7 and explore. Thanks again!
Stephen Lennartz hahaha nice! Well, fingers crossed, if they take it down I will reupload with the song cut off :/
Damn! That was awesome! Thanks Dom! Some of the best synth strings I’ve heard!
Digital Diezel glad you enjoyed!
Absolutely magical Dom ... WOW! Now this is the reason why I'm getting the Yamaha Montage 7 White in 3 weeks time. I will you could also demonstrate other sections on AWM2 such as wind instruments and harps and organs of course. Thank you for the constant support you give to the Yamaha followers.
I got one last week partially of him too along side my korg kronos which the guitar sounds on that compared to the montage is one of the reasons why i got it. amazing. although the piano on the montage for me is a bit soft for some reason and doesnt sound like it does in videos which was kind of disappointing.
@@JohnnyADi which Synth of yours do you think has the best presets of realistic heavy metal and rock sounding guitars?
What an Ambience... Nice studio setup Dom!
Cant wait to get my hands on one of these. /i feel like its the last major void it need to fill. Sounds absolutely amazing to me. Great video!
total underrated video - fantastic work !
Thank you very much Dom ! You are amazing. I knew we can make something very good with the guitar sounds on the Montage (and the MODX, I have one), and you gave us the best possible demonstration.
(now, like many other, I'm waiting for the video tutorial for the effects... :) )
Amazing guitar sound playing on Montage video Dom, thank you ;)
Just before I got the notification for this video I was listening to hotel california...🤗🤗
Nice job!
My favourite, by far, guitar patch on a synth is from the underrated Yamaha CS-6x...int 1 C04 "Blood".
With the mod wheel adding feedback and the ribbon the harmonics, this is a singularly astounding guitar patch.
Very nice! Still.one of the most important things is knowing how a guitar is played so that it sounds real when strumming
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Ricky Harrison Instablaster ;)
@Ronnie Adam Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ronnie Adam it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Ricky Harrison Glad I could help :D
It's awsome video Dom. I request you to make a video on how to make good distortion guitar sounds and also a tutorial on what actually part 9-16 are and how to efficiently utilize them into performance. Thanks
I play both keyboards and guitar and I am not pissed off… I am amazed! Thank you for this amazing video.
Just got to see this video - really nice Job Don!! Seriously man I wouldn’t have known you were not playing an actual guitar on an audio recording.
lovely playing..
beautiful lines ❤️
Agree the Yamaha guitars are quite excellent, but it helps when you have someone like Dom playing guitar method on a keyboard! Well done Dom😀
Nick ICON hahaha thanks Nick!
I like your album, The Film Collection, on Spotify! This video is another great part of your teaching and demos.
I love this synth!! :)
Wow. Lovely Dom, just lovely.
Farhan Sheikh thank you!
Une excellente chaîne 👌. Une très bonne continuation musicale pour la suite de vos projets 🎹.
Sounds realy great 👍👍👍
Those white Montages do look SWEET!
😮 he is playing like a boss 🔥🔥🔥
Your fingers are magical brother, wowwwwwwww
Great video .. Really useful! I'm also a string player (professional 'cellist) and love what you do. .. oh and btw I got my bass back (after repair.. It's a Westone Thunder I ) I'm now looking for a midi keyboard for my setup as I'm using my modx and montage for lots of gigs.
Keep up the great work you do on here !
Jonathan Bruce thank you Jonathan!
Buff amazing dude 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Now I’m doubting again between Roland Fantom or Montage 🤦🏻♂️🤣. Any suggestion? I’m more into de good sounds.
Nice! I would like to see what effects you used to have that "neoclassic shred" guitar or even to simulate more heavier sounds like 8 string guitars riffs :)
I got my modx and it’s awesome with all these guitars
You are amazing👏
oh man the cream color of the keyboard
Dom you are an inspiration.!
Conor T Keane thank you!
Alone again or ......great playing as usual Dom
Nice one bro! You're a beast on the keys LOL
SoundsAndGear thank you my man!!!
I think you skipped the most interesting part - adding effects at ~8:12. It would be nice to have a video tutorial for these effects.
I wanted to see how many people are interested in this, thanks for the upvote, if you guys find it useful I will do that tutorial!
@@DomSigalas Great, thank you!
@@DomSigalas I would love a tutorial. Terrific playing and well done.
@@DomSigalas I'm looking out for that tutorial. Thanks again.
Agree! What did you do at 8:12??? Excellent Dom!
Marvellous !
Bleusyclean 😍 . Awesome
Oh my God, I will sell my left kidney to get my hands on a Montage 8. Dom, thank you so much for all of your videos. They have been so helpful and exceptional. You are great at teaching as well as showcasing the features. I have been shopping for a new keyboard for almost a year. It's worse than shopping for a car or a house. I am now fully certain that I want the Montage. Thank you so much once again. I look forward to more videos.
Syrena Fury I can definitely sympathise! I remember when I was trying to decide which workstation to get back in the day- sleepless nights and no reviews on UA-cam back then!
Why not get a MODX? It's basically a Montage Lite.
Very Good, very much like the fingered steel 0:48
Πατρίδα καλημέρα και καλή χρονιά.
Συγχαρητήρια για τη δουλειά σου.
Ποιος είναι ο πιο γρήγορος τρόπος να επικοινωνήσουμε για ένα θέμα MODX;
You can have the best guitare sounds in a workstation but to make them soud real you need to how to play. I own Korg, Roland and Yamaha synths and Yamaha are the best when it comes to guitare sounds. Great video and very great playing of "Hotel California", I think UA-cam has demonetized your video as soon as the first notes came in :)
Awesome really
More more and more PLEASE
I Dom, I bought a MODX last January. My first real "hardware" keyboard I've used to any great extent since my old Korg M1. I had bought an MX49 and a MOTIF ES rack years before, but still used software mainly, my old Korg M1, and my Roland module.
I have a great distorted guitar on my old Korg M1 that I "can't live without". I use it as the 2nd guitarist in the rock bands I've played in , covering music from the 70s, 80s & 90s with it. It was a rom file on a circuit board that got installed inside the old M1 known as the "Plus One" from Invision. Korg USA liked this board so much, the last batch of M1's included this board. It was roughly $500 installed in 1993.
This particular patch just fits countless famous songs I've covered better than any other I've been able to find some far. I've triggered it from a wireless MIDI Keytar for 15 years, and wired before that.
The MODX is very capable when it comes to electric & acoustic guitars. I still haven't found an equivalent patch to this one however (in any synth or software). I haven't been able to find this patch sampled for another synth or Kontakt, and I depended on it so much, I had to buy a 2nd M1 with this board in case something happened to M1. Recently, one of my M1's went down.
I would love to have a similar patch recreated for MODX. Who could I speak to at Yamaha about possibly recreating this sound by sampling or other methods? I'm sure tons of people would love to have it. The main this, is when when you play a power chord and let it sustain, it doesn't sound fake. Blends right in with a real guitar. Also, pressing the mod wheel adds an effect, and aftertouch vibrato.
I think the MODX offering flagship power in a super portable package, for less than half the price sets the MODX to take over the title of best selling synth of all time. Korg has not offered an equivalent Kronos to compete. So far. In the mean time, I believe sound designers will make sounds for Montage/MODX first in great numbers due to shear volume of the platform, the reasons the M1 & DX7 became so huge.
Got any sort of previews or anything of that special M1 guitar patch? Now I'm interested in seeing if I can dupe it with some synth or another.
I doubt MODX will outsell previous best sellers like DX7 or current ones like the MX keyboards and Juno-DS
MOXF was a portable version of the previous Motif XF flagship, too, as one example, so MODX is hardly the first.
Krome EX can still throw down with MODX regardless and for less money, still a great value even if it doesn't hold a candle to the Kronos.
Very Nice! And I see he’s playing Hotel California by the Eagles on different 12 guitar sounds.
You know, there’s a specific 12 string sound that I use on there to play that song. I use a guitar sound called “Strange 12.”
Very Righteous!!!
Awesomeness
Best guitar sound in the world
Great playing! I enjoy playing amp guitars on Motif XF 8. I like foot input 2 as mod wheel and switch as AS2 button. Is worth selling for Montage 8?
Cool shirt man
Hi Dom, Question. If I'am correct you have some influence at yamaha. Could their be an update where you can hit the record button during playback. on the modx/montage. And maybe we can use a usb mic if possible?
As a Korg Kronos and a Komplete Kontrol Player I have got to say for the 12 years I have been playing I'm now looking to buy the Yamaha Montage 8 because of you. The guitar sounds on that workstation are insanely good and I have played the Nord Stage plus the new Roland Fantom but the sounds on the Yamaha are incredible . PLEASE DO A REVIEW on how to add effects.
Yamaha are in another level in this department nobody emulate the guitars sound like yamaha especially the acustic
Well, Korg PA series can emulate plucked instruments much more reallisticlu than Kronos due to the DNC functions.
Yamaha since Motif XF can also emulate articulations on live playing via SA functions.
Montage & MODX keeped these funtions, so its up to the programmer to feed the right samples into the machine.
You're emulations of acoustic and electric guitar sounds on a keyboard are fabulous! Keep up the great work buddy! Yamaha has had by far the best acoustic and electric guitar and electric bass sounds in a keyboard since they released the Motif ES series workstations in 2003. Roland is second best but Korg can honestly hide their head in shame when it comes to their guitar and bass sounds, even in their multi gigabyte Kronos and Nautilus ROM. My 1995 Trinity has better guitar sounds than the 2021 Kronos and Nautilus that has only 24MB of waveform ROM, not several gigabytes!
Nice smooth scale work there Dom 👍
Love's Alone Again Or... wow! Respect. 1:23
Roland Integra 7 has some great guitars as well!
Hey dom I wanted to ask you that, do you use a monitor controler to switch between your monitor speakers?
Hi Dom, does the Montage/MODX include a good Resonator Guitar type sound?
Wonderful! So what your saying is it's not the patch that sucks, it's me? lol
Hahahaha, just give that patch one more chance :)
Hey Dom, could you please do something simillar but with the voices/choirs?
Thanks for your great videos.
I am a guitarist myself, too. Anyhow I enjoy playing guitar software products and think some of them have come really far already. I have some really old sounds for example in a former YELLOWTOOLS product INDEPENDENCE PRO (now by MAGIX). Especially the acoustic nylons are still nice.
Of course it is always better to know, how a real instrumentalist plays, to get the virtual instruments near to the original. Same with vocals. I have tried around with some VOCALOIDS and can say, with a lot of programming, it is already possible to create quite convincing vocals.
Ritchy Bergmann so many cool options today, software sampled instruments are really good at the cost of CPU power and losing times. I use both for sure!!!
❤it❗️
great .... 🍺
Hi Dom, great playing. I own several keyboard synthesizers. I’ve produced 3 albums the past year and a half and I’m still trying to find the keyboard workstation with the best selection of realistic hard rock and heavy metal guitars. What workstation keyboard synthesizer in your opinion has the best presets to use to play some heavier guitar riff like the hair bands of the 80’s of modern power metal?
The Montage/MODX by far in my humble opinion.
Dom, I believe you could even make a Korg sound good.
Plz do more.
My favorite is “Latin Lover”, going all the way back to the Motif. Very authentic Santana vide!
Excellent job
I bought a MOD 6 , now how much does your playing ability cost 🤪🤣🤣🥂BRAVO🍻
The 1:01 string sliding (si do re la) is amazing! How did you do that? (using a pedal?)
The slide is achieved by hard pressing the key on certain instrument samples. Really good feature that not many keyboards have.
Really great guitar sound.roland fantom Sound Like 30 years old synth
Hi, Dom. I'm about 8:12. As I can see many pople asked you about tutorial on FX's that was inserted. I go throu videos published on your channel and didn't find anything realted to this. I'm interested also, which FX's was added. Can you explain more detailed?
I'm also very interested in that
It's very difficult to play guitars like this on a keyboard.
First thing to avoid is closed voicing chords. You can do those on guitar, but they require weird fingerings and don't sound quite right. Also, you can only have as many ringing notes as you have strings on the instrument, so you're not gonna have 10 note chords unless you are playing an open tuned 10 string guitar. When it comes to vibrato, if it's the finger one, make it using the pitch wheel, as it's impossible to vibrate down in pitch using your fingers. Also avoid that sliding into note most workstations think guitarists do when they hit notes hard as much as possible. You're not gonna get close to guitar sounds unless you can seamlessly switch between picking, picking muted, muted and legato sounds by means of playing or expression, as a guitar player can easily switch between these per note if desired. The same goes for the 4+ types of harmonics you can make.
Very cool! Still prefer your Telecaster honestly! ;)
AzzaDutt 😂😂😂
Kind of a unrelated question. When working in a DWA say Garage Band. Is it possible to use the sounds from my Montage and not the VST of the program?
Awesome...great playing-no blisters ;-)...but for distorted leads I prefer my vintage Roland jd 800 with a real Marshall Amp. Nothing beats that😊
yep. synthetic guitar(like) sounds over an fx board into a tube amp really is a treat. not to say the modx sounding bad, though.
OMG that Roland JD800 factory distorted guitar sound is phenomenal! The Korg Wavestation also has a fantastic lead guitar sound called ZZ Lead, as does the Ensoniq TS10 with its Rude Guitar program.
❤❤❤
Any chance of doing Dust in the Wind?
To me the toughest part of playing guitar on the keyboard is that it is easy to play things that are technically impossible to play on guitar - and that ends up sounding phony and fake. Knowing how to play guitar to some extent helps because you can then try to limit what you're playing on the keyboard to those sounds, intervals and chords that can realistically be performed on guitar. That's tough to learn.
gsmac1969 indeed that’s the trick. It helps if you know a little bit of the basics of how a guitar works :)
The older Roland Fantom X devotedly can produce some great gritty guitars
👏👏👏👏👏👏 Спасибо!
I just saw a video for Korg Kronos’s guitar sound, but I must say these guitar sounds are much better. But the distortion and overdrive guitar sounds still can be much better. I know it. For I’ve got a Yamaha Montage myself.
Красава -молодец.
how do you create a slide effect on it based on how hard you click?
HI~ How to play strumming acoustic guitar on MODX ?
My favorite acoustic guitar sound was on the motif es. The sample was discontinued by the time the XF came out. The Barcelona patch on the MODX is similar but the ES had a really warm sounding patch called nylon in the general midi section. Yamaha samples are the best. Kurzweil has a nice acoustic called bling guitar. It's on the pc3le6. Not sure about other kurzweils... Its probably on the later models.
Is that first demo the music from life is strange 2 ?
Does the Modx have a good wag guitar sound?
Огонь!
Acoustic guitar fret sounds in the Montage😊
Apparently Korg doesn't think a little detail like that is important enough to put in their sound engines.😠
Hi! Many sounds then play in the montage not have my modx. Whats the matter? I have to do add thing?
Wow that sound @8:17 was killer. Is that preset sound if so what's the name of it?
Sounded like something from Yngwie Malmsteen
It’s the Bluesy Legato one but with effects. I will do a video on how to create it :)
I bought a modx6 on guitar center brand new, and its sounds quality so bad and poor. And I see all these videos on UA-cam about modx and montage sounding so good and when I compare mine using the same performances mine doesn’t sound the same. Can anyone help me to fix this issue.
