Released in 2016, Yamaha’s Montage synth workstation has been hugely successful, finding a berth in studios and on stages around the world. The company is now calling time on the keyboard, though, by confirming that it’s been discontinued.
The successor to the Motif, the Montage was powered by the Motion Synthesis Engine, which combined Yamaha's AWM2 waveform-based subtractive synthesis engine with a "modern version of synthesis" known as FM-X. It was released in 61-, 76- and 88-note formats.
