For one, the touchscreen doesn’t give you full control over some of the sliders and knobs in the keyboard. The screen’s presence is an amazing addition and it has made execution of various functions a lot easier but there are few limitations that we just cannot ignore. This was one of the big surprises in the Montage Synths because Yamaha has always been quite reluctant about making touch screens.
In the middle of the panel is a color touchscreen display. The whole arrangement, color and overall designing of the synth give it a premium appearance that we found really attractive. You will also notice that the knobs have a slight resistance and this is very useful as it helps you to select the functions or parameters you need with more precision. They also have a premium appearance and feel which is everything we were expecting in a 3 grand instrument. They have an executive appearance, they feel really good and their response is also excellent.Īll the buttons are very well organized and grouped depending on their functions. The keys are of high-quality and they come with slight resistance as is common in any other semi-weighted keyboard. We would have loved to see the Montage 7 with a similar keybed but we are glad that even the semi-weighted action used here also performs quite well. The Montage 8, however, redeems itself by having a weighted balanced hammer action keybed, unlike the other two synths which only come with semi-weighted keys. This is quite unfair to the Montage 8 considering it is more expensive than its counterparts by up to $1000. The build quality and overall design are almost the same throughout the series.
They both come with quite a number of buttons around the top panel and an LCD screen at the center. Let’s have a look at the features that the Montage 7 comes with.Īpart from the differences in the number of keys all the three Montage synths look almost the same way. We, however, can’t place the value of an instrument based on its price alone. From the word go, we can tell you that it is cheaper than the Montage 8 and approximately $500 more expensive than the Montage 6. We will highlight some of the differences it has with the other two montage synths from Yamaha. In this review, we will try as much as possible to tell you about how much this flagship synth from Yamaha has to offer. Take note that the Montage 7 costs an excess of $3000! This is quite a lot to invest in a music instrument and hence you can’t afford to not be keen on understanding how well it performs and whether it meets your needs before you chuck such a huge amount of cash. With synths such as the Yamaha Montage 7, words alone can never be enough to describe the full extent of just how great the device is.
YAMAHA MONTAGE REVIEW HOW TO
Normally, one needs a couple of weeks or so for a more comprehensive understanding of how to get the best out of a music instrument. A couple of days alone aren’t even enough to fully comprehend what some musical instruments offer. By this, we don’t mean using the instrument once or twice and then passing your judgment.
For any musical instrument, a review can only tell you so much but you can never fully understand how a device performs until you get your hands on it.
