Yamaha Synthesizers Launches Major OS Updates for MONTAGE, MODX and CP Stage Piano

BUENA PARK, Calif. (September 23, 2019) – Yamaha launched major operating system (OS) updates today to three Synthesizer product lines, integrating features, enhancements and content based on feedback from the community of synth artists.

As part of the larger celebration of the 45th anniversary of Yamaha Synthesizers, the company unveiled the enhanced operating systems MONTAGE OS v3.0, MODX OS v2.0 and CP OS v1.2. These new OS versions are designed to help music makers get the most out of their instrument and take inspiration from input submitted to Yamaha by users.

The flagship Yamaha synth MONTAGE gets its sixth free OS update in v3.0, a first for any Yamaha synthesizer, and its more compact counterpart MODX takes on a similar array of added features in its v2.0 OS. The biggest new feature is a pattern sequencer, ideal for creating and playback both linear songs or pattern-based arrangements with real time arrangement control. There’s also an improved synth engine, with Virtual Circuitry Modeling Mini Filter and Mini Boost effects for vintage synth-style sounds. Yamaha has also added a Wave Folder effect for adding complexity creating more experimental sounds as well as a high-speed LFO for even more creative possibilities. Improved MIDI capability with a hybrid MIDI mode makes integrating MONTAGE or MODX with MIDI gear even easier. In addition to these major new features and capabilities, MONTAGE OS v3.0 and MODX OS v2.0 both come with a collection of new Performance content created by Yamaha artists and sound designers.

OS v1.2 for the Yamaha CP stage pianos represents the second major OS upgrade for this product line. Responding to user input, Yamaha has added 30 new Voices to the CP Sub Section. The foot controller and mod lever now have more assignments and range parameters so musicians can have them work within a chosen range. Quick navigation features like LIVE SET Reset and Quick Enter have been added to streamline the CP’s interface even further.
“We constantly receive great feedback from our users,” said Nate Tschetter, product marketing manager, Yamaha Synthesizers. “It’s great to be able to realize that input with three new OS updates. We hope these new enhancements inspire more music-making with MONTAGE, MODX and CP and look forward to helping people get the most out of their instruments.”

Pricing and Availability
Yamaha MONTAGE OS v3.0 and CP OS v1.2 are currently available via free download to all MONTAGE and CP stage piano users. MODX OS v2.0 will be available via free download to all MODX users on October 25. For details see http://4wrd.it/45THOSUPDATES

Roland JX-3P Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and other sounds

Published on Sep 22, 2019 MIDERA

"I read in so many places that the JX-3P was capable of PWM, but I hadn't really heard it myself. I recently bought a JX-3P from Modeless Factory in Japan and decided to give this a shot.

I think this synth is super beefy and has a great sound to it - I have previously owned the Juno HS60 (Juno 106) and was never that impressed with it. I think the JX-3P sounds way better, but that's just my opinion.

I do wish it had mono mode. I think that's the only thing I miss from this.

Oh - I did have some help with delay using the Source Audio Nemesis delay."

Overview of Modular For The Masses "My Favorite Reverb" module

Published on Sep 22, 2019 juanito moore

"This is the reverb module I made in the instructional video on my channel.

There are three adjustments I made after this video: 1) I reduced the signal levels going into the effects circuit, 2) tweaked the voltage-controlled clock circuitry, making the initial clock speed faster, 3) trimmed the gain of the signals coming out of the effects circuit to make them about level with the "dry" signal.

If you are tempted to build this module without the wet/dry fader, don't. I still have the first one I built in my synth, which doesn't have a wet/dry fader, and almost all of the effects really need some dry signal to get through. One of the effects, for instance, is a short slapback-style single delay. With zero dry signal, this is not really an effect at all, it's just a delay of the input. The reverb effects obliterate the dry signal in a lovely wash of lush reverb, which can be useful to turn arpeggios into heavenly sustained chords, but isn't terribly useful otherwise.

So to sum up: include the wet/dry fader!!! You can omit the clock speed mod, although I'm seriously going to love this module's CV controllable clock!

Search AliExpress or Ebay for '100 kinds effect reverberation' and you'll find the reverb module I'm using. They're cheap -- less than $20 shipped."
