Dom you've helped me so much with my Montage and my wife's MODX (she plays bass on it). I really appreciate all your excellent videos and straightforward approach, it's helped a bunch navigating these complex synths. Big thanks from Silver City, New Mexico!
wow Thank you So So Much. I am a Korean user and couldn't find a high level lesson like yours. I was in the mood to cry because I didn't know how to make a sound, but I'm so glad to find you. The feature called Control Assign is a very crazy feature. I had no idea.

Hi Dom. Thanks for your videos I’m a big fan of yours and I’m also (sort of) Yamaha collector/enthusiast! If that’s even a thing! I hope I don’t sound wrong here but this video is for promotional purposes only and barely useful to MODX/Montage users. And the reason is this; you know very well that what you are showing here only applies to very basic sounds that have no/or minimum assignments already existing, that’s why you are able to assign these parameters with one knob turn with no problem. As soon as you start messing around with a little more complex sounds you hit a wall, and by that I mean the message that says (assignable knob full), this is a VERY crucial thing that No one seem to talk about in the videos although it happens to me with almost every sound that I try to mess around with. I kinda found my way through this by reading a lot of complicated articles and discussions over the Yamaha synth forum but still I’m getting confused sometimes specially when I try to import super knob assignments from different parts when layering them together.
It would be much appreciated for us users if you can do a real life example of layering sounds or assigning splits with different sounds and importing their assign knobs into the new performance.
Hi Hangar and thanks for the nice words, this video is definitely not promotional, I had so many people asking me that question. The super Knob is extremely powerful but if course there's a limit on what you can do. Usually, presets have a ton of assignments. With the super Knob you h can have up to 128. If a patch uses all of these then you can delete the ones you don't need and add your own. But the sound designers usually tend to want to take advantage of as many assignments as possible that's why on complex patches it's full already :)
Amazing explanation. You have a teaching talent.
Just subscribed to your channel Dom. Loving it. Keep it up.
WOW, this made my day!!! Please create more such wonderful yet simple tutorials! This instrument REALLY does deserve more love and more wisdom!!! Thank you a lot!
True words! It's a wonderful instrument with endless possibilities!
Dom can you PLEASE do a video on the MODX showing how to midi hardware. Not all of us use a DAW
Thanks Dom, I am still learning my MoDX and all these videos help tremendously.
Glad to hear that Matt!
Thank you for these videos, I have learned so much about my new modx. They helped me more than the owner manual. Thanks agian for a fine job.
Great video Dom. And yes, editing FM sounds was almost impossible on the original DX7, but the visual display here makes it possible at last. What a great machine - I have a MO-DX7 and love it.
Thank you so much. The user manual was so hard to follow and you solved my issue in a couple of clicks. Legend👌🏻
Manhhh, this is awesome!!!! Thanks for the video mate
Thank you very much for these great tutorials, just got my MODX8 a few days ago, it's a great synth but sometimes very complex and your videos are really helpful! Greetings from Berlin
Very useful thanks. I haven't had my montage for long and it can be daunting trying to locate things as the possibilities go so deep. This helps. Please keep this type of tutorial coming thanks 👍
Great video! More videos utilizing the Superknob for the future... I think this instrument is underrated!
Br. JD Agree with you mate!
I don't know if it is related, but I'm using an arpeggio in a performance, and there is an lfo on the part cutoff, open and close the cutoff. I want to switch off the lfo, but f@k, I don't find it anywhere. Maybe there's is a built in motion sequence in the arpeggio? How can I switch it off? Any advice would appreciate. Thanks in advance.
Thank You very much, It Works on the MODX and its yeasier than the manual! I watch all your videos congratulations for you knowledge and didatic to explain and solve those doubts!
Thanks a lot Marco, have fun!
Thanks for your tutorial video, it's so helpful 🙏♥✨
Hi. It's simple to understand how to pass the reverb or volume to the superknob. But what about, a rotary, like the effect on the wheel?
So cooool😁 Is it possible to cancel assignment?
How do you turn the light off
Hey Caleb! 1) Press [Utility] button
2) In the display, tap [Settings]
3) Tap [System]
4) Tap [Knob Flash] 'On'/'Off' to toggle between On and Off.
Thank you!!! My question as well, and great tutorial!
Hi Dom, thanks a lot for your usefull video tutorials. Often I have to watch them several times to fully understand what you are doing :-).
You say in this video that you loaded a dx7 sound. Can you make a tutorial too about loading and managing sounds and the storage structure on the Montage? I can load libraries in my Montage, but I would like to be able to load a single sound/performance instead of a complete library. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.
Thanks very much for this Dom ! Very useful for fading Strings in and out. How do you reverse the volume ? Turn volume DOWN on one Part while turning volume UP on another Part ?
You just need to change the polarity of the curve so that instead of up it starts from all the way up and goes down for one of the parts ;)
Dom Sigalas thank you for that !
Nice video. Can I use the super knob to control the transpose
How did you screen record the touch panel of your montage? Thank you in advance!
Thanks very much.
hi, they dont have v2.0 anymore in the yamaha website.... i have v1.5 can you share the file v2.0 and upload it in Mega.... please, thanksss
Hi Dom,
great video, as always :-)
please can you tell us, how did you get the touchscreen-picture captured and routed to an video-output ?
For an example i wish i could connect an LCD-/TFT-Screen to the Montage to get a better view in the studio for programming etc.
this is still not documented by Yamaha.
thanks a lot
and go on !
Hi Marc, unfortunately there's not an 100% reliable way to do this I am afraid so wouldn't suggest spending money on equipment unless you have a way to try it. Trust me, it can be frustrating. Your best bet would be visiting the forums at Yamahasynth.com and check success stories from users. Even my setup can be temperamental :)
Thank you Dom, great learning video as usual ;)
Dom Corleone the keyboard farther 👀
Thanks!
Hi. How do you add more than 1 voice to the superknob without overlapping the sounds?
Which should I buy modx or montage? Pls somebody give me authentic review...
Hai Dom can you make A Future Bass patch on montage? "WOBBLE"
Thanks
This tutorial is available for MODX?
Hi Christian, it's exactly the same steps :)
I can't tell what you are talking about , what are operators? what is a curve? You picked a sound with lots of release time to show reverb changes? Couldn't hardly tell any change. The only thing I got out of this was you can assign a param change to the super knob. What's the difference between that and any other knob?
Rotery effect assign to superknop how does this work?
You just need to assign the rotary speed parameter to the Super Knob. Rotary Speaker is an insert effect :)
Man, I use my DX7II as a preset machine and a stompbox effect pedal. I wish it had more edit ability but the montage seem to big and intimidating. I initially thought of getting the 8 and selling my DX7 but that thing is unproportionally huge!!! And there is not time to actually play it, it's basically a computer more than it is an instrument. I like tactile stuff. Awww
Hahaha maybe the Montage 6 is your medicine? It's a great size that the one I have ;)
Dom Sigalas Music haha DomI was thinking of the 7, I am only reluctant because Im afraid the montage wont vibe like my vintage DX7 (I make 80s not modern).. I was wondering whether it had the great Yamaha keybed of the DX7 which even as plastic synth key had somr weighted feeling to it. And in addition, whats the difference in the AWM2 of the older motif and the newer montage? IIRC even the sy-77 had both engines and it came out in the 90s? Thanks Dom
I have the Motif XF8 and the Montage 6 and this combination is killer. If I didn't have the Motif I would go for the 8 :) Now that the Montage can load all the legacy ROM from pretty much all Yamaha FM synths you can go as 80's as you want. Seriously, the sounds translate perfectly on the Montage, it just gives you more options for sound design (more operators, different waveforms) and real-time control ;)
Thanks man!! Do u think I should go for the 8 and the dx7ii on top(keep it)?
If you want a piano action keyboard then definitely! You won't "really" need the DX anymore but I won't lie, I wouldn't get rid of it either ;)
0:05 yaes
Can I set a value to only a specific range of the super knob?
Hmmm… not really but you CAN limit the value to a specific range so that it only works on say 10% of the travel ;)
Hi Dom, where can i load the DX7 lib into my Montage? Do not find the STRING 1. Do you have a recommendation for it? Or where to buy.
Hi Lothar, here's the link you need : europe.yamaha.com/en/products/music_production/synthesizers/montage/fm_converter.html you will find all DX7 ROM, use FM Converter to load it on your Montage, it's free ;)
superbe
Can it load custom sysex carts as well from the PC?
