I haven't yet gotten used to see a Montage on your channel. 😄 It stands out as "not like the others" compared to the gear you usually feature. Not that that's a bad thing. I'm certainly going to reference this video for inspiration while layering multiple softsynths to create my own patches in this same vein.
I'm working on a video explaining my motivations, but in order to do justice to this machine and not making a fool of myself, that'll take a while. But one thing I can say is the weighted 88 keys keyboard was one very important factor.
@@electronicfury There are 128 parts / oscillators now instead of 4, and 4000 waves to choose from instead of the 400-ish. Also, the motion sequencer makes a very big difference. Apart from that, you'll quickly understand Montage AWM when coming from the EX5. And yes, GIEV VL AND FDSP PLXPLX YAMAHA OMG :-)
First off thanks for this! The default Goblins patch is exactly the same on the classic Montage too. I followed your video and now created a 'Floyd Goblins' patch on the classic Montage too. Some parameter values are unfortunately not very clear in the video (and some parameter ranges also don't match exactly on the M) but I think I got quite close. Note also on Montage M you can actually have 128 AWM elements per part. There is probably a setting somewhere to go from 8 => 128.
Cool stuff, I wasn't aware that Goblin patches were a common thing! I thought it was just a strangely named preset on my JV-1080. I'll have to go through my other synths to see if they have one to compare. If you're planning on doing more patch tutorials, it may be worth looking into the Montage's USB display output to get a clean capture of what's on the screen.
Thanks! This patch is on a lot of synths, it was part of the original General Midi sound set, but it also sounds quite nice (in my opinion), with that "filter sizzle". There's a lot of filter motion going on in this patch, usually, so it's a nice tech demo. I've already bought a display adapter but it doesn't seem to work, seems I need a very specific one.
Feels so good to have one really nice keyboard.
Yes! I always dreamt of having a weighted 88 keys keyboard. Can cross that of my list now. ;-)

Love to see you get into an-x
I will do. Some really interesting stuff to try there.
did a good job! is goblins just a yamaha thing then?
Thanks! No, this patch can be found on many synths.
Looks like the EX5 finally has an heir!
Yes, that was my impression as well. One can definitely see how they kept evolving their ideas.
Yes looks very nice, but still missing VL and FDSP :) Does the AWM2 engine differ much to the AWM in the EX5?

Thanks for pointing that out! As I said in the video, the danger of making a fool of myself are relatively big right now ;-)
Dear Santa, I know Chrimbletide just happened, but can I has a big Montage for next year? Any chance of getting that in advance? Say... 11 months?
I really dodged a bullet here and didn't reply with a "montage" pun. Phew!
