i can't understand shit, but this guy is my favorite synth\instruments reviewer anyway
+Waldemar Pawlak indeed :-)
Try turning on the subtitles :)
For sure - he gets the most out of the instrument for demonstration.
danron..... really love some sub titles, why is this so difficult for music track are they that rubbish?
For every synth review I come to watch Ujiie!
This guy knows how to make these instruments sound good. I will hold my personal comments until I have tried one for myself.
Joseph Saulsbury
How can you not be entertained by Ujiie?
Can't wait to test drive one soon.
Got to try out this beauty today, it flawlessly recreates the classic DX7 FM piano, and the keys feel amazing!
Grandmaster of Keyboards is Katsunori Ujie ! THANK YOU !
I bought a yamaha montage 6 because of Ujiie! great musical instrument and awsome musician. :) #YamahaMontage #Ujiie
Mr.Katsunori sure knows how to demonstrate, a phenomenal player -- but i came to think about the guys who have programmed all this into the synth, they must be really experts and very musical too, but unfortunatly never seen, a forgotten group - to bad.
I can't get over the fact that the AWM engine is SEVEN TIMES the size of the XF. That's mind-blowing to me, and to him too lol. AND! There's the FM engine! 128 polyphony EACH. absolute madness. 2,000 sounds? and the assignability and tweakability.. it's just incredible.
I can empathize with some comments that it's taking the power and music away from the keyboardist and making it more about the machine, but.. it's all how you use it. If it's anything like my S90XS, there will be just a simple voice category to scroll through, 1 voice at a time.. perhaps without all the automations and layers.. as would be expected in the "program" section, if that's how this is laid out.
English sub-title is available now !!
What an absolutely gorgeous piece of kit! DO WANT!
Definitely a sound designer's dream machine.
The best 2 minute opening demo ever.
Crazy...he presses a button and says what does this mean and then kills it with his playing. Great stuff.
Thank you for the English Captions and congratulations for the sounds you have made in the Montage ;)
毎回とても上手な演奏をしてくれてありがたいです！MONTAGEの音の抜け方が半端じゃないし魅力もたくさん伝わりました。このシンセの購入を考えていたのでいい機会になりました！
this thing sounds so amazing. its a masterpiece
Really nice machine, fits perfectly the style of Ujiie-sensei.
+Juniper Chew And that sound for guitar with effects ! Nice....
Ok. I played one of these today. Call me ignorant for my piano bar comment. This thing is phenomenal and I want one. Badly
The only reviewer that presented this right
Arigatou Ujiie, you're always the best demostrating gears :)
That was beyond beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this. Your channel is a treasure trove.
This man is a great artist!
Sounds sweet! And unlike Dave Smith, Yamaha still knows that its audience are players and gives them a 5 octave keyboard.
+Eff Yiew Yep, Rick Wakeman has never been a player and had to deal with his Minimoog's miserable 3.5 octaves...
+ducav2 Rick Wakeman actualy favours 88 key keyboards, if possible :)
This is a pretty generic instrument next to anything Dave has made.
+GandaMelgao
Fully weighted no less!!
+James Reeno
Dave Smith's instruments are made for a small niche of devoted fanboiz, not market dominance.
The secret of saving money is, “ dont watch videos like these.”
He's too good too !
the secret of the success !
you have no idea - over $ 100,000 in the last 10 years - I ban myself from youtube - and eBay and reverb and sweetwater sound - lol
Lolol, so true 👍
Exactly and yet im still here 😂😂😂
You’re the best demo in the business. So much talent wow! Even though I’m more into Roland….the Montage is a superior machine and the sounds and features make it an industry standard. Well done Yamaha.
The sound is amazing, have played it two times, now wayting for English subtitles to understand the comments.
演奏上手い！！脱帽！！何気なく引いてるだろうけど、バリエーションハンパないわ…羨ましいです
...It doesn't need subtitles, it sounds absolutely stunning! :-) Thanks for very nice demo!
Awesome synth indeed, and great demo
凄いinterface and nice sounds!!
Montage６買いました！
初心者でもそれっぽく曲が作れてサイコーです！
i like so much this machine but so expensive too,and demos always perfect with mr. UJIIE :-)
At least: a real and good video for this keyboard!! thank you mister Katsunori!!!
YAMAHA made something really great and special with the MONTAGE and MODX.
I love my MODX.
MONTAGE and MODX =best synths on planet earth.
amazing AWM2 tone generator ... great demo, thanks
sounds great
でた～！ジャパネット氏家巨匠！欲しくなっちゃうよ！
That control knob looks like it came from a sci fi movie
+stillwarm I'm going with Tony Stark's chest plate...and it's seems to be on the fritz !
めっちゃ音いいな
Thank you for running through the presets. It would be nice if there was demo where someone builds an FM patch from scratch.
+Jeremy Nuncio Give it time and I think there will be dozens of vids on that very topic.
I love your review are amazing, thanks a lot.
Gettings from Costa Rica.
Ok, you had me at the acoustic guitars. Love it, will buy it.Somehow though, Roland still kills on the strings. Yamaha's are tinny, Roland's lush.
Wow, excelent, maravillosa maquina
This is the Yamaha SY99 successor, everyone who wanted one can now get it. Many people wanted a new Yamaha FM Synth, so I don't know why so many are hating on it. And don't underestimate the FM Synthesis, you can basically achieve every sound with it. It's just complicated to program and very unpredictable
+Drey Andersson Harder to program but I never ran into unpredictability with an FM synth unless a component broke. No different than analog synths.
Crazy! I'm shocked...
Honorable Katsunori San, in your youtube video review of the new Yamaha Montage synth... what in ear monitors are you using? What brand and model please? i like the profile of those in ear monitors alot! - Thank You, a big fan in the USA 🙂
Amazing review! Thanks a lot!
すごい！！！曲作りにも役立ちそう
Montage is THE Best
Thanks for the demo. Appreciate it :-)
Thanks for demoing additional performances (comparing to NAMM demos). It's cool to hear Tyros4/5 scat voices. I wish you demoed more acoustic instruments, as there seem to be additional articulations included (in one of the NAMM demos there's a brass ensemble with 'shake' and 'doit' articulations)
Endless sound design with one of these. I would love to understand the montage inside out. I will one day! Still getting my head around my sy77!!
jamas había visto un teclado que sonara de esta manera
y sonaba muy bien el xf
pero esto....
esto que es???
que bestiaaa
no puede ser mejor yo creo que no lo podrán mejorar mucho más
Nice demo and playing, keep it up:)
I wish the seaboard could control that fm engine intimately.
もう、音色は文句なしに素晴らしい! 氏家さんが23:30でリバーブを褒めている通りエフェクトも気持ちよくかかっている! でも、やっていることはSY77/99の焼き直しみたいに感じるのが寂しいです。それだけSYのコンセプトが先を行っていたということかな。音色メモリは25年前とは比べ物にならないくらい増加しているので音色の聴き応えは高いし、モーションノブの使い方も考えれば音作りの面白さも備えているように思います。欲を言えばVA音源も載せてほしかったです。ただ、個人的にはFMのアルゴリズム方式はやめていただきたいです。途中でオペレーターの構成を変えたくなった時に大変なんです。音作りの発想を最初から逆転させないといけないのが辛いので、FM音源の音作りが捗らない理由の一つだと個人的に思います(そしておそらく多くのDXユーザーもそう考えているでしょう)。上から目線レビューですみません。
+rydeentokio Easy for you to say!
Ayeeee Nice video I enjoyed it a lot keep up the good work!:)
Ujiie is awesome. And no doubt this thing sounds nice. But are there really that many piano bar dudes that don't already have a keyboard?
Great job, thanks
YAMAHA : Montage SIntetizadores DIGITAIS NEW : ERA DIGITAL !!!……FANTÁSTICO; MARAVILHOSO!!!……………………
A very cool machine, and I like the filter which can be modified through various means, I'm sure. A cool video, but the intro was tame in comparison to your other monster ones. Well done Yamaha.
Really wish I understood what you was saying...Question: Is it how you've imagined it would when you suggested/sold the idea to Yamaha? Did you make any specific patch for it? Thanks.
Нифига не понимаю по жизни, кроме сайонара и аригато, но в этом видосе без перевода и субтитров понял всё!)))
- Кузьмич, ты что, финский усвоил?
- Я? Финский?
- Ну, он же финн, он с тобой по-фински разговаривает!
- Кто?
- Я!!!)))))
Резюмирую.
Отличная машина!!!✌
Reminds me a bit of a Synclavier with it's FM and sample sound combination. I wish it had a multi track sequencer but overall I actually like it.
It has one. Only a very basic 16 tracks with only quantize, overdub, replace and punch in/out functions, no edition.
And now with O.S 3.0, it got a proper sequenser.
Thank you for the demo. I'm a huge FM fan and would love to lay my hands on the Montage but can't afford it, that's why I hope that Yamaha will release a more affordable standalone synth with only the new FM section. The AMW2 and workstation functions of the Montage are excellent, no doubt about that, but I don't need them, I just want to dive head-first into the new mega FM with freely assignable operators, tons of voices and more great new stuff that makes my inner modulator vibrate with delight. :)
+TheRealTakumaji It's not a workstation in the same sense as the Motif XF
yooooo nice video homie keep em comin!!:)
I like the arpeggio feature--it's like having an intelligent backing band behind your playing, always playing the right harmonies under whatever melody your a making.
And 250 user Arps.
Awesome stuff.
Better than Karma?
@@forrestperkins6237 I have the KRONOS 2 and I like KARMA. I think they both have their strong points but are similar in capability. KRONOS interface is a bit more programming friendly. Montage is more simplified.
@@basspig sorry to necro your comment from 2 years ago 😆
@@forrestperkins6237 It's only been 2 years. I have 15 year old videos that sometimes get new comments!
The sound is very good, as always with the Yamaha synths. Cleary they are trying to catch up with the Kronos adding FM and the motion knob (which does similar things as the vector control on Kronos), switching sounds without breaking it of, touchscreen, etc.
Sound wise they are a serious competitor anyway. And I like the feedback that the rotary controls give and the direct control assignment. But (and mind, this is an opinion without having worked with it), I do not think that it can compete with the Kronos when it comes to the joy of sounddesign (probably why some comments say that is more a performance keyboard). Adding the FM is a good step (wondering if the operators can also use pcm samples like Blue from Rob Papen). But is seems that the Kronos still goes way beyond what Yamaha is offering with not only a FM engine (that will load DX sysex files), but also wave sequencing, three types of analogue modeling synths (AL1, Polysix, MS20) and physical modeling of stings. Programming sounds on the Kronos is so much fun! The Kronos has also dedicated engines for acoustic piano, electric piano and organ, but I suppose AWM2 from Yamaha takes care of that.
Anyway, I think it would be nice if they added also a VA (new AN1x?) and especially physical modeling like the VL synths, PLEASE WITH BREATH CONTROL!
I think two best new keyboard products are this one and dsi ob6.
24:20 - cosmical sounds, i like it!
After feeling burned by Yamaha after years of them making the same thing over and over, I'm blown away by this. Played one the other day and WOW.
I would pay $3000 for that first patch alone. As always, Yamaha has the best "sounding" digital synths. They always sound the warmest and most organic. I've owned Nords, Rolands, Korgs, Alesis, Waldorf and Access and Yamaha's digitals always sounded the best to me.
Even to this day the AN1x is in my dead serious opinion the best sounding VA ever made and the filters on the EX5 were jaw dropping.
I agree, and i love the yamaha synths that i own (SY77, An1x, EX5 and Montage, but i also think waldorf synths sounds just as good in the digital realm.
@@snuppssynthchannelwalforf is great but they are buggy and the quality control is not as good
also i heard the management and ownership of the company are lackluster
@@CR055FIRE Depends on the era and the machine. Blofelds was quite buggy on its initial release, but got patched later, it also commonly had encoder issues. I own a Q which has no quality issues and is likely the most professional synth that I own, I know the Quantum is also quite good although the display should have been attached more sturdily to the body of the instrument itself.
You should be ashamed of yourself making a video this long! I had to watch every second and minute of it, okay? And will probably watch it several more times. Purchased a Montage 7 July 4 and it should be here this week. Can't wait. And yes, thank you for making the video! So informative! Have watched your other videos and they are just as great!
Wow, so we got full blown FM back!!! Sort of SY77/SY99 revival with the hybrid of the AWM2 and this time 8-operator FM. Wonderful. EX5 was a great hybrid, too, albeit a bit underpowered in hardware processing speed, but it had the VL, AN, and AWM2 part. FM was sadly missing on the EX5. Now we have it back, and we have 8 operators. That's the move in right direction. Yamaha digital synthesizer without FM feels like there's something seriously missing. Mind you, Motif is a great machine. Okay, make mine the Motif XF7 and Montrage7. When is that Christmas coming?
+Andrew Piatek Thinking about augmenting my XF8 with a Montage 6.
Filthy McNasty
I haven't gotten into such modern and expensive keyboards. The most advanced keyboards I have, are the SY99 and XV88. Nonetheless, I quite like the Motif XF7, and the Montage 7. The 5-octave ones are more portable, but don't have space to breathe on the front panel, I find them too cluttered. The 8-octave ones are very big. I find the sweet spot in the 6-octave ones, namely the XF7, and the Montage 7. If money were no object, I'd probably get both right now. But I already have 10 keyboards, and more rack modules that I care to admit, so maybe I should not expand. For one thing, it's not going to improve my keyboard playing technique, for another thing, I really like what I like, the DX7, DX7II, and the D-50 being still my favorite. I guess I like simple things. I am still stunned by how great the D-50 sound is, and how expressive the DX7 mk1 is. Maybe I am also getting to old for the millennials' designed keyboards :)
Andrew Piatek Agreed. I would prefer a Montage 7 but room dictates a Montage 6 or I'll need another effects rack. I really don't have the real estate for it.
+Filthy McNasty Well, the more I watch, I start questioning the idea of all those motion control and super knob. It's quite extreme, maybe good for EDM, but that's not the type of music I would pursue as a hobby. I am still gravitating to more basic keyboard instrument like the DX7II or the D-50. Those things you actually have to play. Sure, one doesn't have to use all those automated aspect of the Montage; nonetheless, such instrument as this (Montage) may only further ruin keyboard players' reputation in the eyes of mainstream public, as if we are not able to actually play keyboards anymore, 'cause you press one key, and it does some musical phrases already. But so is the story with plain vanilla MIDI sequencer. I am just not sure how useful for a keyboard player all this automation is. There are some performers who still play keyboards very well, and these are the ones I gravitate to. Making music in the automated way, maybe it's fun at first. But sooner or later you might need more control to interpret your music, and that is well achieved by actually playing the keyboard well. I know, I am probably contradicting myself saying this, I quite like the Montage synth engine, and I especially welcome back the FM here in its 8-operator glory. But the big screen (touchscreen?) and such busy front panel, is there a place for a keyboard still at this day and age? I don't know. I'll probably go on eBay and get some more DX7II and D-50. These could be really stunning if you use them right. I even find the original DX7 mk1 as the most expressive electronic keyboard. Really, the playability and keyboard feel is amazing.
+Andrew Piatek Not just EDM but film soundtrack, New Age, commercial jingle....
English sub-title soon ...
can't wait! thanks a lot 😊
+Jim Jones
I just put money down for one as soon as they arrive at my dealer.
+Jim Jones Must be tough being deaf.
+Jim Jones You're a colostomy bag with ears.
Jim Jones You're the ooze that drips off of a green butt plug.
great !
Wonderful ...! ...as Schopenhauer said , music is the unique transcendental meditation and this synth is his means ...
27:07 の辺りでAFMの凄さ、とうっかり言ってますが、確かにこれはSYシリーズを思い出させるヤマハの結晶ですね
I will stay with the Kronos 2 and enjoy all its power and new sounds coming out all the time for it.
Well said and spot on!
so I just tested the montage it's legit..I First got on the kronos to warm-up then after playing it I got on motif and realized once you touch montage you can't go back..I say you will need a lot of time to program sounds to taste but it is so much potential..I played the 88 key I can't play weight keys but the keys had a bounce in which made me forget weight. the sound quality is so high when I got on the motif I felt as if I was playing a Casio..I had negative feed for this after playing I felt ashamed..glad I didn't buy the kronos or motif . this will go great with my nord electro...for live musicians this is it .. I'll tell you it's ok to buy without playing it has more potential then the user..lol ..
😲😲😲Wooooow increíble
Ujiie FANTOM u_u
ほしい！ほしい～～～～～～～～～～～～
Looks and sounds like Yamaha's response to the Korg Oasys and Kronos with the exception of the super knob but that can be programmed into other knobs and sliders. Yamaha's palette of sounds is still unique and varies from the competition. They had to come up with something to look advanced from the Motif series.
GREAT sounds . T Y
このシンセは所謂MOTIFシルーズの後継機種の立ち位置になるんですかね?
いつも勉強させていただいてます
お忙しいとは思いますが
モンタージュの機能もう一度詳しくアップロードお願いします
Nice
Montage vs JD-XA with RD 800 combo. How do these stack up. Keen to hear anyone's thoughts.
I can’t understand what he is saying but for some reason I can understand everything he says.
Roses are red... amazing videos you do, great work!
¿Is there going to be a second part? Katsunori UJIIE mentions that he will be taking a more in depth look at it.
aawesome machine..
Super!!!, Thanks!!!, ;-)
Who else here is glad that Yamaha brought back FM synthesis?
muy bien
wow!
天国 から の 音 ですね これ❤❤❤
Nice shoes
