That would be a good start, but the fact that MIDI transmission of arpeggiated notes require external parts, and that external parts kill MIDI transmission for internal parts also needs to be addressed.
Press the keyboard control button, then turn off the PART button for the part you want to play, then it will play alone. This video is for the classic Montage, but the principles are identical on Montage M: ua-cam.com/video/6hXRub018Qs/v-deo.htmlsi=HYyvpXSvMOnKPn8j
I think if you hook up with USB what montage should do is present two different MIDI output interfaces one for note information and the other for our arpeggio information. Just a thought. Obviously not a complete thought but I think it would be cool at least to be able to send the arpeggio information on a completely separate virtual MIDI interface from that which you play on the keyboard.
That’s an interesting idea, but I don’t think it needs to be that complex. If I’m playing a part that is not arpeggiated, I want to output the notes I’m playing. If I’m playing a part that is arpeggiated, I either want to transmit the notes I playing, or the arpeggiated notes - but I’m unlikely to exer want to do so both simultaneously, because I can output the played notes from the non-arpeggiated part, and the arpeggiated notes from the arpeggiated part. The tools are all there on the classic Montage, they’ve just been hobbled for Montage M.
Indeed it does, and yet the Roland MIDI implementation is flawed in other frustrating ways. FWIW, the previous Montage and the Motif before it had the internal switch too, it’s just been lost for Montage M.
Were it a case of not understanding the design principles, he certainly would, but in this instance the design is well understood and the plea is for changes to restore expected functionality that was present in the previous generation models.
What a way to complicate what should be simple MIDI implementation. Yamaha should stop thinking and just listen to what users want and give it to them. I use a Kurzweil and I can assign any patch to any of 16 MIDI channels I desire and they can all transmit, receive, send audio, and CC signals as I choose. What Yamaha did was too complicated and limiting.
To be fair to Yamaha, they clearly thought that a simple MIDI implementation would do the job, with MULTI mode, until they realised that sometimes multiple parts need to receive on the same MIDI channel… and then the complexity began to
Love to see this kind of video's of my new synth. You have a nice English voice.
Yamaha has some brilliant folks there. Hopefully they can update the Montage M!
Let’s hope so!
GREAT VIDEO.!!
Great video 👍🏻 🎶🎶🎶🎶 🎹🎹
Thank you!
Surely it just needs an Internal, Eternal or Both choice to correct this issue...if s would that be so difficult to ad into the software?

WOULD YOU KNOW HOW TO TURN KBD CTRL OFF ON THE MONTAGE M.? I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY SINGLE PARTS WITHOUT IT TRIGGERING THE NEXT MIDI TRACK.
Press the keyboard control button, then turn off the PART button for the part you want to play, then it will play alone.

this internal switch already exists for decades in roland keyboards

If Badmister still on the forum he will say you use the keyboard wrong
