Basic Structure
Functional Blocks
The MONTAGE6/MONTAGE7/MONTAGE8 system consists of eight main functional blocks: Tone
Generator, A/D Input, Sequencer, Motion Sequencer, Arpeggio, Controller, Effect, and Envelope Follower.
AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2)
This instrument is equipped with an AWM2 tone generator block. AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2)
is a synthesis system based on sampled waves (sound material), and is used in many Yamaha
synthesizers. For extra realism, each AWM2 Voice uses multiple samples of a real instrument’s
waveform. Furthermore, a wide variety of parameters—envelope generator, filter, modulation, and
others—can be applied.

Tone Generator Block
The tone generator block is what actually produces sound in response to the MIDI messages received
from the Sequencer block, Controller block, Arpeggio block and from the external MIDI instrument. The
MIDI messages are assigned to sixteen independent channels, and the instrument is capable of
simultaneously playing sixteen separate Parts, via the sixteen MIDI channels. However, the sixteen-
channel limit can be overcome by using separate MIDI “ports,” each supporting sixteen channels. The
tone generator block of this instrument can handle MIDI messages over Port 1.
Tone Generator block
A Performance is a single set of sounds consisting of multiple Parts. You can change sounds as desired by
selecting the appropriate Performance. Each Performance has two types of parameters; parameters
unique to each Part and parameters common to all Parts. You can edit the entire Performance in the
Common/Audio Edit display (page 145).
A Performance consists of 16 Parts and you can create Performances (in which multiple Parts or Parts are
combined—in a layer, or in other configurations) using the keyboard.
Internally, there are three Part types: Normal Parts (AWM2), Normal Parts (FM-X), and Drum Parts. Normal
Parts (AWM2) are mainly pitched musical instrument type sounds that can be played over the full range of
the keyboard. Normal Parts (FM-X) are also mainly pitched musical instrument type sounds, using FM
synthesis. Drum Parts are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes. A Normal
Part (AWM2) can consist of up to eight Elements, a Normal Part (FM-X) can consist of up to eight
Operators, and a Drum Part can consist of up to 73 Drum Keys.
An Element/Operator/Drum Key is the basic, smallest unit for a Part. By combining multiple Elements/
Operators/Keys, Parts can be created to produce even more realistic sounds or various richly textured
types of sound. Each Part is created by editing parameters unique to each (Element Edit parameters/
Operator Edit parameters/Key Edit parameters) and parameters common to all the Elements/Operators/
Keys (Element Common Edit, Operator Common Edit, and Key Common Edit parameters.)
NOTE For instructions on editing a Normal Part (AWM2), see page 58. For instructions on editing a Normal Part (FM-X),
see page 131. For instructions on editing a Drum Part, see page 119.
FM-X
This synthesizer also features an FM-X tone generator, in addition to the AWM2 block. The
abbreviation “FM” of FM-X stands for “frequency modulation,” which is a special tone generation
system that uses the frequency of one waveform to modulate another waveform, in order to produce a
completely new one. In this synthesizer, there are eight FM Operators and a full 88 different Algorithm
types. By changing the operator combination patterns, controlling the modulation with other
parameters such as levels and envelopes, and using high-quality filters, effects, and EQ commonly
with AWM2, you can create richly textured sounds that change in a highly complex fashion.

Normal Parts (AWM2)
These Parts are played conventionally from the
keyboard, with standard pitches sounding for each key,
generated by AWM2. A Normal Part consists of up to
eight Elements. Depending on the settings in the Part
Edit, these Elements are sounded simultaneously, or
different Elements are sounded according to the note
range, velocity range and the XA (Expanded
Articulation) settings (page 6).
The illustration shows an example of a Normal Part (AWM2). Since the six Elements here are distributed
across both the note range of the keyboard and the velocity range, a different Element sounds depending
on which note you play and how strongly you play it. In the velocity distribution, Elements 1, 3 and 5 sound
when playing the keyboard softly, while Elements 2, 4 and 6 sound when playing it strongly. In the note
distribution, Elements 1 and 2 sound in the lower range of the keyboard, Elements 3 and 4 sound in the
middle range, and Elements 5 and 6 sound in the higher range. In the velocity distribution, Elements 1, 3
and 5 sound when playing the keyboard softly, while Elements 2, 4 and 6 sound when playing it strongly. In
a practical example of this in use, a piano Part could be composed of six different samples. Elements 1, 3
and 5 would be the sounds of the piano played softly, over the respective note ranges, while Elements 2, 4
and 6 would be strongly played sounds, for each respective note range. Actually, this instrument is even
more flexible than this, since it allows up to eight independent Elements.
Normal Parts (FM-X)
These Parts are also played conventionally from the keyboard, with standard pitches sounding for each
key, generated by FM synthesis. The sound for a Normal Part (FM-X) is created by modulating a frequency
of a fundamental waveform with another waveform. An operator that generates a fundamental waveform is
a “carrier,” and an operator that modulates these waveforms is a “modulator.” The combination of a
number of Operators is called “Algorithm.”
When the waveform output from the Operator is a simple sine wave, no harmonics are included other than
the fundamental tone. However, you can create harmonics by modulating the waveform with other
Operators. How harmonics can be created depends on the Modulators’ output levels and the frequency
rates of Carriers and Modulators. On the other hand, the basic pitch is determined by Carrier’s frequency,
and the output level is determined by the Carrier’s output level. The figure described below shows a basic
way to create FM sound by using an analog synthesizer.
Although the figure described above shows waveforms which are generated by two operators, the
MONTAGE has eight Operators. The combination of a number of Operators is called an “Algorithm” and
this synthesizer has parameters for setting the Algorithm.
Drum Parts
Drum Parts are mainly percussion/drum sounds
that are assigned to individual notes on the
keyboard (C0 to C6). Unlike Elements, a Drum
key is equivalent to the corresponding note,
meaning that you cannot change its range.
Drum or percussion sounds are assigned to
each Drum Key. You can create various types of
Drum Parts by changing the drum or percussion sound assigned to each key and edit the parameters
such as pitch and EG.

Expanded Articulation (XA) is a tone generation system that provides greater performance flexibility and
acoustic realism. This feature allows you to more effectively recreate realistic sound and natural
performance techniques—such as legato and staccato—and provides other unique modes for random
and alternate sound changes as you play.
Realistic legato performance
This instrument more accurately reproduces a legato effect by allowing specific Elements to be sounded
when playing legato and other Elements to be played normally (with the XA Control parameter settings
“Normal” and “Legato”).
Authentic note release sound
The MONTAGE reproduces these special, characteristic sounds by setting the XA Control parameter of
certain Elements to “Key Off.”
Subtle sound variations for each note played
The MONTAGE more accurately reproduces these subtle sound variations by using the XA Control
parameter settings “Cycle” and “Random.”
Switching among different sounds to recreate the natural performance on an
acoustic instrument
Acoustic instruments have their own unique characteristics—even specific, unique sounds that are
produced only at certain times in a performance. These include the flutter tonguing on a flute or the
playing of high harmonics on an acoustic guitar. The MONTAGE recreates these by allowing you to switch
between the sounds while you play—using the [ASSIGN 1]/[ASSIGN 2] buttons and the XA Control
parameter settings, “A.SW1 On,” “A.SW2 On” and “A.SW Off.”
NOTE You can turn the [ASSIGN 1]/[ASSIGN 2] button on or off also by transmitting the Control Change number
specified in the Common/Audio Edit display ([Control] [Control Number]) (page 153) from an external device.
New sounds and new styles of playing
The highly versatile functions above can be applied effectively not only to acoustic sounds but also to
synthesizer and electronic Parts as well. The XA feature opens up enormous potential for realizing
authentic sounds, performing expressively and coming up with creative new styles of playing.
The Motion Control System is a completely new feature for variably controlling Motions (rhythmical,
multidimensional sound changes) in real time. This amazingly powerful feature dramatically and
dynamically alters the sounds of the instrument in new, never-heard-before ways—changing texturally,
rhythmically with the beats, providing cool, colorful lighting effects, and responding expressively to your
creative passion. The Motion Control System has three main functions:
Super Knob:
For creating multi-dimensional sonic changes, and enhancing those changes with colorful, continually
shifting lighting changes. Multiple parameters can be controlled simultaneously.
Motion Sequencer:
For continually variable sound changes. The powerful Motion Sequencer feature lets you dynamically
change sounds by operating Parameters depending on sequences created in advance. It provides real
time control for changing sounds depending on various sequences such as Tempo, Arpeggio, or the
rhythm of external connected devices.
Envelope Follower:
Envelope Follower is a function for detecting the volume envelope of the input signal waveform and
modifying sounds dynamically.
NOTE Envelope Follower can be controlled not only by the audio signal from an external device, but also by the output
of all Parts.

As its name suggests, the LFO produces a wave of a low frequency.
These waves can be used to vary the pitch, filter or amplitude of each Element/Operator to create effects
such as vibrato, wah and tremolo. There are two LFO types: Part LFO, which is common to all Elements/
Operators, and Element LFO, which is unique for each Element.
Parameters related to Part LFO can be set as follows.

Maximum Polyphony
Maximum polyphony refers to the highest number of notes that can be sounded simultaneously from
the internal tone generator of the instrument.
The maximum polyphony of this synthesizer is 128 for each AWM2 and FM-X. When the internal tone
generator block receives a number of notes exceeding the maximum polyphony, previously played
notes are cut off. Keep in mind that this may be especially noticeable with Parts not having decay.
Furthermore, the maximum polyphony applies to the number of Elements/Drum Keys used, not the
number of Parts. When Normal Parts (AWM2) that include up to eight Elements are used, the
maximum number of simultaneous notes may be less than 128.

Sequencer Block
This lets you create Songs by recording and editing your performances as MIDI data (from the controller
block or an external device), allowing you to play the data back with the tone generator block.
A Song is created by recording your keyboard performance as MIDI sequence data to individual Tracks.
The MONTAGE can store up to 64 Songs.
This is a memory location on the sequencer where your musical performances are stored. One Part can be
recorded to one track. Since the MONTAGE has 16 tracks for one Song, you can record and play back a
16-Part performance.
You can record your keyboard performance to the Song. You can record knob operations, controller
operations and Arpeggio playback as well as your keyboard playing to the specified Track as MIDI events.
Your keyboard performance and controller/knob operations will be recorded to the Track when the
corresponding Keyboard Control Switch for the Part is turned ON.
NOTE The Control Change messages and Parameter Change messages can be recorded by operating the Knobs. For
details on Control Change messages, see the Synthesizer Parameter Manual PDF document.

Arpeggio Block
This block lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases by simply pressing a note or notes
on the keyboard. Yamaha’s Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords
you play, giving you a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and
performing.
Arpeggio categories
The Arpeggio types are divided into 18 categories (including “No Assign” and “Control/Hybrid Seq”) as
listed below. The categories are based on instrument type.
Sub categories
The Arpeggio categories are divided into the sub categories listed below. Because the sub categories are
listed based on the music genre, it is easy to find the sub category appropriate for your desired music

The Arpeggio Types are named according to certain rules and abbreviations. Once you understand these
rules and abbreviations, you’ll find it easy to browse through and select the desired Arpeggio Types.
Arpeggio types with “_N” at the end of the type name (example: HipHop1_N)
These Arpeggios are for using with the Normal Part, and Arpeggios with complex notes can be created
even when triggered by one note (page 15).
Arpeggio types with “_C” at the end of the type name (example: Rock1_C)
These Arpeggios are for using with the Normal Part, and correct Arpeggios can be created corresponding
to the chord you play (page 15).
Arpeggio types with a normal name (example: UpOct1)
In addition to the above types, there are three playback types: the Arpeggios created for use of Normal
Parts and played back using only the played notes and their octave notes (page 15), the Arpeggios
created for use of Drum Parts (page 15), and Arpeggios containing mainly non-note events (page 16).
Arpeggio types with “_AF1”, “_AF2”, or “_AF1&2” at the end of the type name
(example: Electro Pop AF1)
When these Arpeggios are played, both of [ASSIGN 1] and [ASSIGN 2] buttons are automatically turned
ON and the phrase starts playback.
Arpeggio types with [Mg] at the beginning of the type name (example:
[Mg]HardRock1)
These Arpeggios are for using with a Mega Voice.
The Arpeggio Type List in the Data List PDF document contains the following columns.
NOTE Note that this list is for illustration purposes only. For a complete listing of the Arpeggio Types, see the Data List
PDF document.

Mega Voices and Mega Voice Arpeggios
Normal sound uses velocity switching to make the sound quality and/or level of a Part change
according to how strongly or softly you play the keyboard—giving greater authenticity and natural
response to these Parts. However Mega Voices have a very complex structure with many different
layers that are not suitable for playing manually. Mega Voices were developed specifically to be
played by Mega Voice Arpeggios to produce incredibly realistic results. You should always use Mega
Voices with Mega Voice Arpeggios.

Arpeggio playback types
There are three main Arpeggio playback types as described below.
Arpeggio types (belonging to all categories except for Drum/Perc and a part of Control/HybridSeq)
created for use of Normal Parts have the following three playback types.
Playback of played notes only
The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note(s) and octave notes.
Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played notes
These Arpeggio types have the several sequences each of which is suited for a certain chord type. Even if
you press only one note, the Arpeggio is played back using the programmed sequence— meaning that
notes other than the ones you play may be sounded. Pressing another note triggers a transposed
sequence using the pressed note as the new root note. Adding notes to those already held changes the
sequence accordingly. Arpeggios with this playback type have “_N” at the end of the type name.
Playback of a programmed sequence according to the played chord
These Arpeggio types created for use with Normal Parts are played back to match the chord type
determined by detecting the notes you play on the keyboard. Arpeggios with this playback type have “_C”
at the end of the type name.
NOTE When the “Key Mode” parameter is set to “Sort” or “Sort+Drct,” the same sequence is played back no matter
what order you play the notes. When the “Key Mode” parameter is set to “Thru” or “Thru+Drct,” a different
sequence is played back depending on the order you play the notes.
NOTE Since these types are programmed for Normal Parts, using them with Drum Parts may not produce musically
appropriate results.
Arpeggio types in Drum/Perc categories are programmed specifically for use with Drum Parts, giving you
instant access to various rhythm patterns. Three different playback types are available.
Playback of a drum pattern
Pressing any note(s) will trigger the same rhythm pattern.
Playback of a drum pattern, plus additional played notes (assigned drum
instruments)
Pressing any note will trigger the same rhythm pattern. Adding notes to the one already held produces
additional sounds (assigned drum instruments) for the drum pattern.
Playback only of the played notes (assigned drum instruments)
Playing a note or notes will trigger a rhythm pattern using only the notes played (assigned drum
instruments). Keep in mind that even if you play the same notes, the triggered rhythm pattern differs
depending on the order of the notes played. This gives you access to different rhythm patterns using the
same instruments simply by changing the order in which you play the notes, when the “Key Mode”
parameter is set to “Thru” or “Thru+Drct.”
NOTE The three playback types above are not distinguished by category name or type name. You’ll have to actually
play the types and hear the difference.
NOTE Since these types are programmed for Drum Parts, using them with Normal Parts may not produce musically
appropriate results.

Arpeggio types (in Control/HybridSeq main categories with Filter, Expression, Pan, Modulation, Pitch Bend,
and Assign 1/2 sub categories) are programmed primarily with Control Change and Pitch Bend data. They
are used to change the tone or pitch of the sound, rather than play specific notes.
In fact, some types contain no note data at all. When using a type of this category, set the “Key Mode
parameter to “Direct,” “Sort+Drct,” or “Thru+Drct.”
NOTE Settings related to Key Mode are set as follows.

Motion Sequencer Block
The powerful Motion Sequencer feature lets you dynamically change sounds by operating Parameters
depending on sequences created in advance.
It provides real time control for changing sounds depending on various sequences such as Tempo,
Arpeggio, or the rhythm of external connected devices.
You can assign up to eight desired Sequence types for one Lane.
You can also set up to four Lanes corresponding to the Motion Sequencer function for one Part. Up to eight
Lanes can be used at the same time for the entire Performance.
The setting status (on or off) the Lanes in the entire Performance will be shown as follows.

Tips for Arpeggio playback
Arpeggios not only provide inspiration and full rhythmic passages over which you can perform, they
give you quality MIDI data you can use in creating Songs, or fully formed backing parts to be used in
your live performances. For instructions on using Arpeggio, see the “Quick Guide” in the Owner’s
Manual.

Effect Block
This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block as well as audio input block,
processing and enhancing the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting you change
the sound as desired.
Effect structure
System Effects are applied to the overall sound. With System Effects, the sound of each Part is sent to the
effect according to the Effect Send Level for each Part. The processed sound (referred to as “wet”) is sent
back to the mixer according to the Return Level, and output—after being mixed with the unprocessed
“dry” sound. This instrument is equipped with Variation and Reverb as System Effects. In addition, you can
set the Send Level from Variation to Reverb. This parameter is used to apply Reverb to the signals output
from the Variation. You can get a natural effect by applying Reverb depth to the Variation sound with the
same level as that of the dry sound.
Insertion Effects can be applied individually to each of specified parts before merging signals of all parts.
It should be used for sounds for which you want to drastically change the character. You can set different
Effect types to the Insertion Effects A and B for each Part. These settings can be set Part Edit [Effect]
(page 67, page 122, page 136).
This synthesizer features 17 sets of Insertion Effects. They can be applied to 1 to 16 Parts (maximum) and
A/D Input Part.
This block applies effects to the final stereo output signal of the entire sound. Multiple Effect types are
available.
Element EQ is applied to each Element of the Normal Part (AWM2) and each key of the Drum Part. You can
specify one of three different EQ shapes, including shelving and peaking.
NOTE Element EQ does not affect the Input signals from the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks.
This EQ is applied to a Part before and after the Insertion Effect.
Master EQ is applied to the final (post-effect), overall sound of the instrument. In this EQ, all five bands can
be set to peaking, with shelving being available also for the lowest and highest bands.

About the Vocoder Effect
MONTAGE features a Vocoder effect. Vocoder is a distinctive, “robot voice” effect which extracts the
characteristic of the microphone sound and adds it to the sound via your keyboard performance. The
human voice consists of sounds generated from the vocal cords, and filtered by the throat, nose and
mouth. These resonant sections have specific frequency characteristics and they function effectively as a
filter, creating many formants (harmonic content). The Vocoder effect extracts the filter characteristics of
the voice from the microphone input and recreates the vocal formants by the use of multiple band pass
filters. The machine-like ‘robot’ voice is created by passing the pitched sounds of musical instruments
(such as a synthesizer sound) through the filters.
About Effect categories, Effect types, and Effect parameters
For information regarding the effect categories of this instrument and the effect types contained in
their categories, see the “Effect Type List” in the Data List PDF document. For information on the
effect parameters which can be set in the each effect type, see the “Effect Parameter List” in the Data
List PDF document. For information on the descriptions of each effect category, each effect type, and
each effect parameter, see the Synthesizer Parameters Manual PDF document.
About Preset settings
Preset settings for parameters of each effect type are provided as templates and can be selected in
the Effect Type selection display. To get a desired effect sound, try first selecting one of the Presets
close to your imagined sound, then change the parameters as necessary. Preset settings can be
determined by setting “Preset” in each effect parameter display. For information on each effect type,
see the Data List PDF document.

Envelope Follower Block
Envelope Follower is a function for detecting the envelope of the input signal waveform and modifying
sounds dynamically. This function allows you to control not only Part outputs but also input signals from
external devices connected to the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks.
The Input source of each Envelope Follower is fixed such as Part 1 for EnvFollower 1, Part 2 for
EnvFollower 2, and the Audio Part for EnvFollower AD. However, the signal output from each Envelope
Follower can be another “input source” for any desired destination such as each Part or even the entire
Performance. For example, you can modify the sound of Part 2 by using the Envelope Follower for Part 1
(EnvFollower 1) as the “Source.” The Envelope Follower as the “Source” and the target parameter to be
controlled by the Envelope Follower (which is called “Destination”) are set in the Control Assign display
(page 89).
