Designed to bring deep, tactile control to the AN-X and FM-X engines, these units feature hundreds of dedicated switches and knobs — developed to enhance programming and performance on Montage M.

The PGX controllers are concept models created for Yamaha Synthesizers’ 50th anniversary.

GIGANTIC controller for YAMAHA MONTAGE M

video upload by Hispasonic

Click CC on the bottom of the player for subtitles.

"Just seeing and touching this marvel has already justified going to Superbooth 2025. Two huge hardware editors that show the guts of ANX and FMX, two of the synthesis systems available in Montage M.

You can imagine the feeling of being in front of such a display of controls to edit a synth with the power of Montage. PG-Anx and PG-Fmx aesthetically rival the huge cabinets of the first experimental hand-built synthesizers.

The front end of the Montage M, with its dual display and faders, encoders, and pushbuttons, is itself an excellent solution for sound creation. And the software version of the Montage M (ESP) can also be used as a keyboard editor for those who prefer it. But there is no doubt that being in front of these monstrous panels is irreplaceable.

In case anyone is tempted to purchase them: as you can imagine, it is not Yamaha's intention to market them. Too bad!"

"La nouvelle série Montage M de Yamaha repousse encore plus loin les limites. Les synthèses FM-X et AWM2 se voient complétées par un moteur de synthèse complet AN-X, simulant les circuits analogiques et reproduisant leurs imperfections si musicales. Des écrans contextuels apparaissent à gauche du panneau, et le M8X signe le grand retour chez Yamaha du Polyphonic Aftertouch, longtemps après le CS80. Des commandes supplémentaires et une librairie sonores étendues en font un clavier ultime."

Contextual displays appear on the left side of the panel, and the M8X marks Yamaha's return to Polyphonic Aftertouch, long after the CS80.

NAMM 2025: Yamaha's Montage M Enhancements

video upload by sonicstate

"At the NAMM 2025 show, we spoke to Blake from Yamaha, who shared the latest updates on the Montage M synthesizer. He mentioned the release of a new OS update featuring minor usability improvements like display knob functionality while loading sounds. A significant highlight was the enhanced optimization of MIDI 2.0 for Windows 11, thanks to Microsoft's integration of MIDI into the OS.

Blake also highlighted the M8X model, which now features an electromagnetic induction sensor, allowing for high-resolution velocity recording exceeding the standard 0-127 range. Moreover, it supports polyphonic aftertouch, providing greater expressive capabilities.

Yamaha improved their ESP editor, now offering deeper editing capabilities down to the element level. This software seamlessly synchronizes edits between the hardware and software, enabling on-the-go sound design. Blake emphasized that the ESP editor is not available as a standalone product; it accompanies the Montage M, ensuring a cohesive experience between the hardware and digital environments."

Exploring MONTAGE - Overview and First Impressions

video upload by Woody Piano Shack

"Introduction to the YAMAHA MONTAGE M6, first impressions review and a tour of the controls and architecture. Relevant also to potential purchasers of the YAMAHA MONTAGE M7 and YAMAHA MONTAGE M8X, or just those of you that are curious about this new flagship workstation synthesizer."

Diving into Yamaha Montage M8X' AWM2 engine and Motion Sequencer, to fix that "Goblin" patch

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"I'm learning my #yamahamontage M8X at the moment, and I found the implementation of the "Goblin" patch somewhat unexpected on this machine. So in order to memorize the user interface, I decided to make my own version of that patch and see what the #awm2 #synth engine can do on this keyboard. This video shows basic subtractive synth techniques like amplitude and filter envelopes, different oscillator and filter types, but also shows the unique "motion sequencer" taking control of one of the oscillators to create a "sparkling" sound. Table of contents:

00:00 short preview so you know what to expect
00:15 hello / but why?
02:21 Element 1: a warm pad
02:58 select a wave / sample
03:35 low pass filter / filter envelopes
05:19 amp envelope
05:53 amp/pitch/filter lfo
06:48 Element 2: a filtered "choir" sound
07:30 band pass filter and envelopes
08:40 amp/pitch/filter lfo
09:20 amp envelope
09:48 Element 3: a wind sound
10:02 white noise
10:30 band pass filter and envelopes
11:25 amp/pitch/filter lfo
11:31 adjusting "oscillator" volumes with those faders
11:55 Element 4: a sparkling sound
12:15 selecting another saw wave
12:32 high pass filter and lfo
13:14 adding a motion sequence: control and destination assignment
13:55 setting up a curve
14:20 using that curve in the motion sequencer
14:54 adjusting filter cutoff frequency and removing the filter envelope so the motion sequence can be heard
15:42 setting up a sequence of curves
16:21 adjusting the lfo to change the motion sequence over time
17:15 adding insert effects
18:07 global effects setup
18:57 finished patch demo and conclusion
