Yeah, Apple vs. Samsung for musicians. If you are on a non-Apple product (like I am) then the struggle is real :D Edit: I almost forgot -- good informative video on soundmondo, which is why I came here in the first place.
I’ve found this to be a great feature. I would say to anyone hesitant about trying this to just try it. It’s easy to use and certainly when using it with the Reface series there’s no danger of overwriting anything on your synth as you just save it in the normal way via the onboard menu. I haven’t tried it with the MODX yet so can’t comment on that but can’t I,whine it’s any different. A great source of inspiration!
Dom, there are so many sounds on Soundmondo that it is getting harder to find something. Can you suggest to Yamaha to add previews for the sounds? A small sound clip showing the sound would help a lot.
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Kaden Brody Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Hello Dom thumbs up for all your great videos...!The only problem with soundmondo app is that doesn't save the samples of a performance.....so if a sound is made from user samples it would not be loaded....Only the midi infromations are saved....
Your videos are always great. I haven’t had a chance to try this on my MODX7 yet but is there any particular mode or menu you have to be in to get these to work AND to save them to my board?
I think the problem with Android phones is latency. I've been trying to use my synths with flagship Samsung phones since S7. Last one I tried was S22 and the latency makes it useles.
Are the sound compatible between the instruments? Can I use Modx-Sounds on the Cp88? And where can the sounds be saved? In the Cp88 itself or not? Will there be a library with completely new samples like the nord library or are there just variations of the basic sound-architectures? I didn't find any answer to that and would be very happy to know more, because it is crucial for me, regarding buying such an instrument or not.
Hi there. I've connected soundmondo to my Yamaha YC88 using Chrome on my MacBook Pro. The green light for connected is on and it looks to be connected but it won't let me press the sync button. And I can't get any sound out of my keyboard from soundmondo. When I hover over the sync button, there's a little picture of a circle with a line through it. Do you have a suggestion as to how I can solve this?
Hi Dom great channel I’m subscribed I have a question I ha e a digital piano also a m audio oxygen pro 49 and a reface YC how can I combine the 3 using let’s sat AUM to record and have all 3 pianos/keyboards working at the same time in 1 DAW let’s say...any ideas .. Thanks man look forward to your reply 👍👍👌
The midi implementation on android is fine, I program to it all the time. yamaha just does not like to support anything other than ipad. Lazy programmers.
Hi Dom, and thanks for your great video. A great limitation at the moment, in my opinion, is that there's no way to export from MODX and import on a Montage. Library files' format isn't compatible backward. Is it possible with Soundmondo? If so how? Another question: what about performances that use custom samples? Are the samples transferred too, if needed? Thanks.
@@coolwebinars_easysoundsshop I did those steps and it turns green but when selecting a sound and pressing Sync it takes me to the upload page and there is no transfer of sounds. Did you experience this?
@@robkoppens9966 I havent tried as of yet, I found these instructions from the MODX Fan page on FB.. You need to access soundmondo.yamahasynth.com/ on a computer (works only with Google Chrome), then create an account. After that, turn on your MODX/MONTAGE, take a USB cable (like the ones used for printers) and plug it into the USB interface on the back of the keyboard and in the computer. Eventually refresh your web page on the computer and you should be able to see on the top bar a green circle saying "Connected". You're all set. Just browse for a performance that is compatible with MODX/MONTAGE, click on it and then click on "Sync" - in a few moments, you'll see on your keyboard's screen that it is receiving the data and will automatically load the performance. You'll be able to play and use the scenes attributed to it. What's very cool is that if you like the performance, you can store it on your keyboard so you don't have to connect again to soundmondo to play it. (I don't know if you need to previously install the Yamaha Steingberg USB kit. I think that's only when you use your keyboard as an audio interface. But if it doesn't work without that drive, you can find it on Yamaha's website).
@@robkoppens9966 Not sure what you meant with "upload page". As described in the video: as soon as I click on "SYNC" it opens up a blank page where I am able to insert a new name and description after editing this particular Performance. So this behaviour is feature. But simultaneously it sends the bulk dump to the instrument. I did a check right now to make sure that there are no common problems with Soundmondo but in my case it works with both - MONTAGE and MODX. Did you use Google Chrome? Did you try another USB cable? No hub, but a direct connection with the shortest cable you own (just for a check)? Are you on Mac or PC? Computer's OS?
Hey Dom.. If I save a performance in the live set with a change in transpose in it , I find that the transpose does not get saved...... How can I save it like that with a transpose?????
Hi Dom! The new iPad air now uses USB-C connection. Can I simply purchase that adapter and still use it into my modx? I'm pretty sure you can, I just want to check with you since you're the expert.
Can i download sounds from soundmondo with computer and save it to my reface forever, and then play the reface with the sound i just downloaded without any ios device or computer anymore?
Wow has anyone read the user agreement? Terrifying stuff "We also maintain digital communication logs that track information like your phone number, calling-party number, forwarding numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls."
By clicking a button in soundmondo, you get the sound directly in the synth. In the case of montage / modx you can save it with a button in the hardware.
Why not just load it on to the keyboard? Why carry around a peripheral?too short term. This is probably good for the potheads in the home studio who don't have live gigs though.This is the annoying new school I'll pass on. Jeez.
@@GestattenWinnetou Yes, but unless they actually changed it... In order to hear the "preview" you need to sign in, download it to your machine, and then hear the preview. The preview everyone is asking for is just a click on the website and you get a preview before having to download it into your machine first...
@@gb3496 Oh, I don‘t know about that, I‘m on iPad, there‘s a preview button, works flawlessly. No need to download anything, I‘m always already signed in, no problem here.
@@DomSigalas Hi Dom, using Win 10, Soundmondo connects fine to my MODX but it won't sync. Bad mister has been trying to sort it out for me also. Thanks for replying :)
Too bad the Soundmondo the website is complete trash. Searching the website is an insane task. Make an account and see for yourself. This is is not a serious platform. It's a gimmick app.
@@DomSigalas To my knowledge, the Reface CS has no local save or recall function, and I have a Reface CS. I very much dislike dependency on tech with short term planned obsolescence, like this. The Reface series is still very good on its own, but I'd like to see future gear with options for more long term use.
@@BlackthorneBuilds I see where you're coming from I thought you were talking about the Montage. Well for the CS, I would do it like I do on all my analogue synths :) Take a photo ;) But I honestly don't think that Soundmondo will be going anywhere for a while :)

Wow. Amazing. This is the reason I will go with Modx and to PC4. Cheers
One of the reason I just placed an order for modx+
Thanks Dom! You are a major blessing brother!
Thank you Geoffrey!
Dom, there are so many sounds on Soundmondo that it is getting harder to find something. Can you suggest to Yamaha to add previews for the sounds? A small sound clip showing the sound would help a lot.
Adding a rating is also a good way to improve research!
Exactly! I don't know why there isn't a preview button for each one...

Cool feature! It seems easy but I still would like to c a demonstration.
ua-cam.com/video/EZg0bfrjcio/v-deo.html
Dom, Can the Soundmondo app be used (with a USB splitter) to control the sounds on TWO different types of reface keyboards, simultaneously?
Can you upload some electronic, synth presets for montage
Can sounds from SOUNDMONDO be saved on the keyboard, so I could use them without being connect to the App all the time?
Yep!
There's midi support on Android way before iOS. Just that some developers are lazy to write code natively for both iOS and Android
I think the problem with Android phones is latency. I've been trying to use my synths with flagship Samsung phones since S7. Last one I tried was S22 and the latency makes it useles.
Latency is a good point for sequencing.
But just for transmitting a data sound patch.. latency shouldn't matter.

I have a DX Reface. I want to know how I can put the sounds in my Reason DAW. I feel that I can only use it as a midi controller!
So far, so good...but I would like to first hear a sample online before downloading like crazy. I couldn't find how this is possible?
it's very convenient ...

Surely a MODX should have a sound like the Queen song sound as standard?
Thank's...I'll try....
