This manual describes additions and changes with respect to the Reference Manual that came with your instrument. • • • • • New Performances have been added. The Smart Morph function has been added. New functions have been added to the Pattern Sequencer. MODX files can now be imported. Controllability and playability have been improved. MONTAGE Supplementary Manual 3 Additional New Performances The MONTAGE offers 32 new Performances. For information on the added Performances, refer to the Data List. MONTAGE Supplementary Manual 4 New Smart Morph function The Smart Morph function uses machine learning for morphing FM-X sounds. MONTAGE learns the sounds assigned to Parts 9 to 16 by sophisticated logic and plots each sound as a point on the Map. The distance of points indicates similarity of the sounds. This function automatically creates interpolated FM-X sounds to fill in the gaps on the map. Touch a position on the map to assign the sound to Part 1. By selecting points you like in this way and saving the results, you can use this as a powerful tool for creating new FM-X sounds. You can also drag points on the map, or assign the behavior between any two points to the Super Knob—giving you unprecedented real-time control for expressively morphing the FM-X sound as you perform. Home Operation [PERFORMANCE] [Home] View Use this to switch among three displays: the default screen display of eight Parts, a display of four Parts with various data, and a display of four Parts and the Smart Morph map. NOTE You can also use the [PERFORMANCE] button for the same operation.
