Yamaha Montage M8x 88-Key

Yamaha MONTAGE M Series – The Ultimate Flagship Synthesizer

The Yamaha MONTAGE M series sets a new standard for expressive performance and creative sound design. Designed for synthesists, keyboardists, and pianists, this lineup includes the 61-key M6, 76-key M7, and the fully weighted 88-key M8x with polyphonic aftertouch, giving every player a version perfectly suited to their needs.

Unrivaled Sound Engines

At the heart of the MONTAGE M is a combination of Yamaha’s AN-X Analog Engine, enhanced AWM2 Engine, and FM-X Engine, delivering a total polyphony of 400 notes. These advanced sound engines allow highly realistic acoustic imitations, rich analog tones, and creative synthetic textures, providing unparalleled depth and detail for live performance and studio work.

Innovative Expression and Control

MONTAGE M offers cutting-edge control dimensions for unique music-making. Dedicated keyboard and scene controls, performance sliders, and assignable knobs provide immediate, intuitive access to dynamic expression. The M8x model takes this further with polyphonic aftertouch, enabling nuanced playing and unprecedented expressivity across every key.

Integrated Workflow and Connectivity

Seamless integration with modern production environments is built in. The MONTAGE M series features USB MIDI and audio interfaces for direct recording and control, with future support for the Expanded Softsynth Plug-in (ESP) for enhanced sound creation. Fast navigation and deep memory management make it easy to organize and recall sounds, patches, and performances during live or studio sessions.

Massive Library and Memory

The MONTAGE M comes equipped with 9.97 GB of preset waveROM, 16 libraries providing 640 performances each, and 3.8 GB of user flash memory. Additional effects such as VCM Rotary Speaker, reverbs, and modulations expand sonic possibilities and allow musicians to sculpt unique tones.

Professional-Grade Performance

Every MONTAGE M keyboard combines flagship-level build quality with intuitive controls, high-resolution sound engines, and versatile connectivity. Whether creating lush orchestral textures, classic analog synth sounds, or complex layered performances, the MONTAGE M series offers the ultimate platform for musicians seeking both power and precision.
