New Functions in MONTAGE Version 3.50

Yamaha has upgraded the MONTAGE firmware, adding the following new functions.

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 4

Additional New Performances

The MONTAGE offers 32 new Performances.

For information on the added Performances, refer to the Data List.

MONTAGE Supplementary Manual 5

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.

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.

NOTE The maximum rated value of the [USB TO DEVICE] is 5V/500mA. Do not connect to USB devices that exceed the rated value, since

such devices may cause damage to the instrument.

NOTE This function does not support MIDI data transmission to a connected device via the [USB TO DEVICE] on this instrument.

When MIDI I/O Mode is set to Multi

• Channel events, received through channels corresponding to Parts with Keyboard Control Switch set to On, are received in

parallel by all Parts with Keyboard Control Switch set to On. After receiving, when this instrument transmits MIDI data, all note

data of the channel corresponding to parts with Keyboard Control Switch set to On are transmitted.

• Channel events received via the channel that corresponds to the Part with Keyboard Control Switch set to Off affect the

corresponding Part. After receiving, when this instrument transmits MIDI data, the same channels used for receiving are used

to transmit the channel data.

When the MIDI I/O Mode is set to Single or Hybrid

• Channel events, received through channels corresponding to Parts with Keyboard Control Switch set to On, are received in

parallel by all Parts with Keyboard Control Switch set to On. However, when this instrument receives Control Change

messages regarded as Common parameters and the MIDI I/O mode is set to Single, this instrument does not send Control

Change messages to the Part and instead treats them as Common parameters. After receiving, Sending of Control Change

messages is done according to the MIDI I/O Channel setting.

• Channel events received via the channel that corresponds to the Part with Keyboard Control Switch set to Off are received by

the corresponding Parts. The received MIDI data is not re-transmitted when the MIDI I/O mode is set to Single.

Put Track to Arpeggio

This function copies data in the specified measures of a track for creating Arpeggio data. Up to 16 unique note numbers can be

recorded to the Arpeggio track. If more than 16 different note numbers have been recorded to the MIDI sequence data, the

Convert operation reduces the notes in excess of the limit. Because of this, be careful to record only up to 16 different notes

when you create an Arpeggio, especially when using multiple tracks.

Arp (Arpeggio Number)

Determines the User Arpeggio number. One of the numbers currently not in use is automatically assigned by default. When a

number already in use is selected, the previous Arpeggio data in the selected number will be overwritten.

Settings: 1 – 256

Convert Type

Determines how the MIDI sequence data (of Song tracks) will be converted to Arpeggio data from the three ways below. This

parameter can be set for each track.

Settings: Normal, Fixed, Org Notes

Normal: The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note and its octave notes.

Fixed: Playing any note(s) will trigger the same MIDI sequence data.

Org Notes

(original notes): Basically same as “Fixed” with the exception that the Arpeggio playback notes differ according to the played chord.

Original Notes Root

Determines the root note when the Convert Type of any track is set to “Org Notes.” This is available only when any track is set to

“Org Notes.”

Settings: C-2 – G8
