This was completely improvised, off the cuff. I had no clue what I was going to play. The idea was to just let the music flow.

    This is the ultimate modern synth but unfortunately is out of market in Europe right now. Not even in Thomann. They say they are still in negotiations with Yamaha. This situation sucks. I enjoyed your review and playing. Subscribed. Kind regards.

    Thanks for these in-depth instructions on how to configure external controllers with the Montage. I'm planning to purchase Montage and I'm glad it can be used with additional keyboards/controllers. Also, I could swear that near the end of your video when you perform (demo), that I heard Yanni playing ;)

      @@shehzadamurthy1983 I did a review and demo video on the M8x, in which I talk about the action. The GEX keybed, while a weighted action, is quite light to the touch, and VERY pleasing to play. I still prefer a fast waterfall or synth action for organs, but the M8x will more than get the job done.

      @@pianomikeoct Every speaker is different, so no matter what system you use to listen to the M8x, it will sound a bit different from speaker to speaker, even if there's no external EQ. It's best to listen through a setup that you are really familiar with. That will give you the most accurate sound of the M8x. Also, if there's a shop in your area that has one in stock, bring your own headphones, again, ones that you're really familiar with, then test it out.

      As far as I know, the problem is when you record a speaker using a mic, you won't get the sound that the people sitting in audience would hear. So if you want to hear how it sounds through a speaker system, why not just play this video through a system you are familiar with.

      @justinhavu Před 13 dny

      It all depends on the song. Drum sounds come from a combination of UVI Beatbox Anthology 2, and Steven Slate Drums 5. Drums on Going The Distance are SSD5 and an Alesis DM5. All sounds on Fairest Is The Light, including drum sounds, are from Arturia CMI V, a software emulation of the legendary Fairlight CMI, hence the song title.
