A revolution in authentic analog sound, control and behavior, the AN-X engine recreates the warm, classic sound of an analog synthesizer with a series of sophisticated modulation options. ･ Three Oscillators with 5 waveforms (Saw 1, Saw 2, Triangle, Square and Sine) and Noise Generator ･ Two filters with 10 filter types ･ Wave width modulation ･ Automatic oscillator synchronization ･ Ring, FM and waveform modulation ･ Electric Guitar Amplifier with distortion ･ LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) for amplitude and filter ･ Voltage derivation and aging adjustments to simulate the sound of classic and vintage synthesizers Integrated into the Motion Control system, the AN-X Engine lets you create expressive and unique analog sounds to your heart's content.

A significant evolution from the 256 notes of the original MONTAGE, MONTAGE M offers up to 400 notes of polyphony through its three engines: ･ 128 notes for the AWM2 Preset Waveform Parts ･ 128 notes for User AWM2 Waveform Parts ･ 128 notes for FM-X Parts ･ 16 notes for AN-X Parts

Available exclusively on the MONTAGE M8x, the GEX Action elevates every performance and sound creation with Polyphonic Aftertouch - a revered synth control found on the legendary CS-80 and DX1. Polyphonic Aftertouch lets you individually modulate sustained notes with pressure. The GEX also offers key repeat behavior normally found on grand pianos.

MONTAGE M features new performance controls: a 5-segment ribbon controller with a dedicated HOLD button, a new KEYBOARD HOLD button for sustaining chords while using the knobs to edit, and a Portamento on/off button and a dedicated button for Portamento timing.

There are dedicated Keyboard, Part and Scene Control buttons to control 16 Parts per Performance. This intuitive control, especially beneficial for live performances, improves overall efficiency of use and adds dimension to each Performance.

A revolution and a very significant innovation for musicians, the Extended Softsynth Plugin (E.S.P.) replicates MONTAGE M on any favorite Digital Workstation (DAW). Free to all registered MONTAGE M owners, E.S.P. allows you to create, edit and mix MONTAGE M Performances - no hardware required - offering an unparalleled level of integration on stage and in the studio. We plan to release E.S.P. in early 2024. The first version will have all MONTAGE M sounds, albeit with basic edits. The full version will be available in summer 2024.

Improved navigation allows for quick and intuitive sound editing and operation. There are new functions such as the new 512 x 64 LCD screen, 6 touchscreen control buttons and a PAGE JUMP button that transfers the contents of the LCD screen to the 7" TFT color touchscreen for more detailed editing. And the dedicated Navigation button gives an overview of a Performance. Simply touch a graphic object on the screen to access that parameter for more detailed editing. The dedicated Navigation button allows you to go directly from the surface of a sound to the deepest part.

Simplifying studio setup, MONTAGE M features a multichannel audio and MIDI interface via USB with 32 outputs/6 inputs. Facilitating MIDI recording, virtual instrument monitoring and multi-track audio recording via a single USB cable, optimizing time for creativity.
