SYNTHSIZER - MONTAGE 8

Montage breaks new ground with advanced dynamic control, enormous sound production, and efficient workflow. Interact with MONTAGE Performances using Motion Control, a fully customizable control matrix for producing deep, dynamic, and very expressive sound. With Motion Control, you can generate sounds that prior hardware synthesisers could not. Find your distinct sound by channelling your imagination. The Super Knob aids in the creation of dynamic sound changes, whilst Motion Sequences are tempo-synchronized, entirely configurable control sequences that may be assigned to almost any synthesiser parameter and enable fantastic innovative new ways of programming sound. The AWM2 supports data compression without sacrificing sound quality for realistic sound reproduction, and its 128-note stereo polyphony contributes to rich stereo sound. MONTAGE is capable, and the integrated Fleash memory allows for fast reading and writing of your own samples. MONTAGE includes a wide range of fantastic sounds, including a brand-new Yamaha CFX Premium Grand Piano, detailed new strings and woodwinds, and select DX and TX family content, all upgraded to take advantage of the Motion Control Synthesis Engine. Connect MONTAGE to your computer using a single USB cable and record every detail of your creativity into your DAW. Seamless Sound Switching (SSS) allows you to switch between performances without interrupting the envelope or effects. This is ideal for live performances in which you conclude one song and begin another without pausing. MONTAGE comes with Cubase AI, Steinberg's professional music production software with integrated recording and editing.
