Yamaha’s Next-gen Flagship Synth

Yamaha’s professional synthesizers have reigned as industry leaders for decades. Now, the company again advances the state of the art with the Montage M6 — a flagship synth so powerful, it’s the only keyboard you’ll need to ace any studio session or stage performance. This next-gen synth powerhouse packs the latest technology with three beastly sound engines that can create jaw-dropping renditions of any instrument you could ever imagine, while new performance controls, workflow enhancements, and a 7-inch TFT color touchscreen allow you to access all this power effortlessly. For fast, smooth action that will satisfy even the most discerning pro keyboardists, the Montage M6 boasts Yamaha’s semi-weighted FSX keybed with aftertouch. It even has a 5-segment ribbon controller to add rich expressiveness to your playing. The Yamaha Montage M6 is an instrument that seamlessly bridges stage and studio while unlocking unlimited potential for sound, control, and workflow.

Three potent engines deliver a universe of sounds

Under the hood, Montage M6 packs three powerful sound engines. Yamaha’s all-new AN-X engine re-creates the warm, classic sounds and behavior of vintage analog synthesizers. With Preset and User wave memory doubled from the original Montage, the AWM2 sample-based engine with 128-element architecture delivers emulative high-definition instrument sounds with plentiful articulations and vibrant dynamics, realism, and expression. FM-X is an 8-operator FM synth engine that generates modern digital sounds and dynamic expressive behavior. Together, these three adroit engines cover the gamut of any sounds you’ll likely need for live performance and studio work. Moreover, they are elegantly integrated under the command of Montage M’s capable control set, making it easy to quickly craft any sound you can dream up.

New performance controls put you in command

The Montage M features new performance controls that put you in complete command of your instrument — which you’ll especially appreciate when playing live. It features a 5-segment ribbon controller with a dedicated hold button as well as a new Keyboard Hold button that lets you sustain chords while tweaking knobs to edit your patch parameters. There’s also a Portamento on/off button and a dedicated Portamento Time knob. Dedicated Keyboard, Part, and Scene control buttons give you intuitive control over 16 Parts per Performance. Keyboard artists at Sweetwater find these controls particularly helpful in demanding onstage settings, enhancing overall usability while adding dimension to their performances.

Advanced technology for vivid and richly varied expression

The Montage M leverages proprietary audio technologies that advance the state of the art in synthesizer design. Yamaha’s Pure Analog Circuit 2, for instance, provides clean harmonic reproduction and level frequency response for clear, powerful sound. The updated Pure Analog Circuit attenuates noise and improves the dynamic range, crosstalk, low-frequency phase, and distortion rate, resulting in crystal-clear sound with richly detailed lower mids and assertive presence. Montage M’s sophisticated VCM Rotary Speaker effect and realistic drawbar behavior provide authentic organ sound and control. And to ensure that every minute detail of even your most complex performances will be heard, Montage M is spec’d with a formidable 400-note total polyphony.

Tap into immense sonic potential

Yamaha has built acoustic pianos since 1900, and has been on the cutting edge of digital technology for decades. All the advanced tech working synergistically under the hood of the Montage M makes it an intuitively accessible synthesizer with immense sonic potential. A suite of dedicated accessories is available separately to let you customize your Montage M for optimized operation and creativity, whether you’re composing, performing onstage, or laying down tracks in the studio. Equipped with comprehensive connectivity, including USB-MIDI and a multichannel 6-in/32-out audio interface, it streamlines MIDI recording, virtual instrument monitoring, and multitrack audio recording through a single USB cable. Amazingly, though, you may find you don’t need the instrument itself in the studio, thanks to the Extended Soft Synth plug-in. Offering an unparalleled degree of stage and studio integration, E.S.P. software replicates the Montage M in your favorite DAW, allowing you to create, edit, and mix Montage M performances without the hardware. Add it all up, and you have a truly world-class synthesizer eminently worthy of Yamaha flagship status. If you’re ready to take your music to the next level, your Montage M6 awaits!

Out of this WORLD AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

I purchased the Yamaha Montage M6 in hopes that this would be my one and only overall synth.
When researching and watching videos of the Analog AN-X engine I was hooked!
I always loved the Analog sounds that just shiver your soul and this is it!
The sounds on this BEAST of a machine is UNREAL!
The build quality is INSANE compared to my Yamaha MODX-6 my goodness I can't wait to make room for just the Montage M6 and gift the Yamaha MODX to my friend.
This is every synthesizer, piano, instruments, effects, strings and non stop action you can imagine having that I would need to grow into and just the creative juices that fire in the brain when you hear the sound auditions.
Thank you SweetWater and Ben for the lightening fast shipping and the amazing support I can't wait to go thru the manual and learn every function of this dream machine inside out!

AMAZING SOUND!

I am absolutely loving the sound quality of my Montage M6! The key feel and build quality is also top notch. Just as expected from Yamaha. The size for me is just right for my desktop (home studio) set up. My products came in within two days from ordering, and my Sales Engineer Joseph Donner is great! He is very knowledgeable, efficient... and most importantly a cool guy. Sweetwater has been great to work with. If you are planning on purchasing great. I wouldn't buy anywhere else. Thanks Y'all!

Yamaha for Life

I just have to say what a beautiful amazing work of art Yamaha did with the montage M series.
Just received my Montage M6 and it's a work of art with the build quality and those amazing engines.
The main reason for my purchase was the AN-X engine and I'm just over the moon with it now that I don't have to purchase other synths to get that analog feel.
Special thanks to Ben, who assisted me in receiving this unit lightning fast.
