om01basicoperation0350

The tone generator block is equipped with a hybrid sound engine combining three synthesis

systems.

The AWM2 sound engine features waveforms containing sampled wave data you can assign to

each element, and then modify the sound by using Filters and EGs (envelope generators). Each

Normal Part uses up to 128 elements to generate a wide range of rich sounds that help you

create expressive sounds. Since the “raw” waveforms sampled from the actual acoustic

instruments have been processed to enable each note to be used for various music, this sound

engine produces the realistic sound of musical instruments such as piano and wind instruments,

for example. You can use this sound engine not just for reproducing realistic instrument sounds

but also for creating completely new sounds by using filters and the EG. For the Drum Part, you

can use up to 73 drum keys to assign the waveforms of percussion sounds to each key on the

keyboard to create a desired drum kit.

Tone generator block

AWM2 sound engine

Normal Part

The Drum Part has a maximum of 73 drum keys you can use for creating desired drum kits by

assigning the waveforms of percussion sounds to each key on the keyboard.

The FM-X sound engine uses eight oscillators (Operators) to modulate the frequency of the

waves generated by each Operator to create rich harmonic overtones.

The Operators are grouped into two roles: Carrier and Modulator. The Modulators modulate the

next Operator while the Carriers generate the resulting sounds. The function in which the

Operator modulates itself is called “feedback.” The FM-X sound engine features pre-

programmed Algorithms that have 88 different patterns for connecting the Operators. With this

sound engine, you can use the parameters to control the harmonic overtones of the Operator

waves and apply the same high-quality filters, effects, and EQ available in the AWM2 sound

engine to create more complex sounds than possible with conventional FM sound engines.

The AN-X is a virtual analog sound engine that digitally reproduces the behavior of analog

synthesizers in great detail.

With their traditional and innovative features, the oscillators of this next-generation AN sound

engine provide more flexibility in modulation and wave-shaping functions so that you can create

a wide variety of sounds—from “real” vintage to edgy and extreme.

AN-X sound engine

Features three Oscillators and one Noise generator.

OSC3 modulates OSC1 and OSC2 (either with frequency modulation or ring modulation)

Each OSC controls the shape of the waves by using Pulse Width, OSC Self Sync, or Wave

Shaper.

You can set each OSC to output before or after Filter 1 and Filter 2.

The internal memory of this instrument holds the saved Performances, Live Sets, Songs, and

other settings.

This chart shows the data flow between the internal memory and the external device.

(Click or tap to enlarge the image.)

Contains the Preset Performances, Preset Arpeggios, Preset Audition Phrases, and other

settings.

You cannot overwrite the data in the Preset memory since it is read-only.

Internal memory

Preset memory

The Edit buffer is the work area for editing Performances, Live Sets, Songs, and other settings.

This work area allows both reading and writing, and the contents within this work area are

erased when the instrument is turned off.

The edited Performances and Motion Sequences should be saved to the User Memory before

selecting a different Performance or turning off the instrument.

(Other settings are saved automatically.)

The User memory has two areas: User and Library.

The User area holds the stored Performances and Motion Sequences, and other settings for the

entire instrument, such as Utility settings and other User data edited in the Edit buffer.

When a User Performance is edited, you can store it as a new Performance or overwrite the

existing Performance.

The Library area allows up to 16 library files (.Y2L) to be loaded from the USB flash drive. The

settings saved in the Library area cannot be edited. To edit the settings in the Library area, send

the data to the Edit buffer by selecting a Performance stored in the Library area or loading a

Motion Sequence from the Library area. After editing, the data will be saved to the User area.

The User memory is used for reading and writing, and the data within this area will be retained

after the instrument is turned off.

The Recall buffer and Compare buffer are areas used for temporarily saving the settings you

are editing.

The Recall buffer is used as a backup for the Edit buffer.

If you accidentally changed to a different Performance without first storing the setting, you can

use the Recall function to restore the temporarily saved settings from the Recall buffer to the

Edit buffer.

The Compare buffer is the area for keeping settings before making edits. By using the Compare

function, you can bring the settings temporarily saved in the Compare buffer to compare the

edited and unedited sounds.

The Arpeggio function on the MONTAGE M allows you to play typical Arpeggios, as well as add

more complicated rhythm patterns and backing tracks to your keyboard performance. It not only

provides inspiration and full rhythmic passages in your live performances, but it gives you fully

formed instrumental backing parts of various music genres for ease in creating songs.

You can assign the desired eight Arpeggio Types to each Part and simultaneously play back

Arpeggios of up to eight Parts.

Also, you can set the note range (Note Limit) or the strength of the key pressure (Velocity Limit)

for Arpeggio playback.

Changing the Effect settings

Using Arpeggio

The Arpeggio function lets you play Accent Phrases (the sequence phrase played only when the

keyboard is played at a higher velocity than the specified value) or effect sounds such as guitar

fret noises using the Random SFX function. Some Preset Arpeggio Types are set to play back

Accent Phrases and Random SFX sounds. You can find the Accent Phrases and Random SFX

sounds by using the Arpeggio Category Search screen and checking Accent (Accent Phrase) or

Random SFX for Attribute.

To turn the Arpeggio function on or off, press the [ARP ON/OFF] button on the top panel.

By pressing the [QUICK EDIT] button to select SELECTED PART and then using the Tab

selection buttons to select the ARP/MS tab, you can then use Knobs 1 to 7 to change the

Arpeggios.

Modify the Arpeggios by turning the knobs and listening to the Arpeggio playback. Check the

names of the parameters assigned to Knobs 1 to 7 on the Sub display.

If you wish to fine-tune the settings, press the [PAGE JUMP] button to switch to the Main display

to continue editing.

Normally the Arpeggio is played back while a key is being pressed. However, you can change

the settings so that the Arpeggio continues to be played back after the finger is lifted off from the

key.

The way the Arpeggio playback is turned on or off can be set with Hold and Trigger Mode.

The Motion Sequencer function lets you create sound changes by controlling parameter times

according to a sequence you create in advance.

Tweaking the settings

Using Motion Sequencer

It allows you to set up rhythmical changes that are in sync with the Performance tempo,

Arpeggio, or the rhythms input from the connecting device and to control such changes

interactively and in real-time according to the progression of the song.

With the Motion Sequencer, you can use up to four lanes per Part, or eight lanes for a

Performance. You can use up to eight sequence patterns per lane.

You can also set the velocity range for playing the sequence, the way the sequence is played,

or the number of Steps to play the same way you would with the Arpeggio.

The parameters for each lane can be set in the procedure shown below.

[PERFORMANCE] → Part selection → [EDIT/ ] → Motion Seq → Lane

To turn Motion Sequencer on or off, press the [MSEQ ON/OFF] button on the top panel.

By pressing the [QUICK EDIT] button to select SELECTED PART and then using the Tab

selection buttons to select the ARP/MS tab and using the Tab PAGE buttons to select Motion

Envelope Follower is the function that extracts the envelope of the waveform from the audio

input and is used as a controller for creating changes in the sound. It allows the output of Parts

and the output from the external device connected to the A/D INPUT jack.

For example, you can set the Envelope Follower of the Part you have assigned a Rhythm

Pattern as a Source to create changes in other Parts. It is useful, for example, when you wish to

lower the volume of a Part while a certain other Part is being played (i.e., ducking).

Each Envelope Follower has its own input source, such as EnvFollow 1 for Part 1, EnvFollow 2

for Part 2, and EnvFollow AD for the Audio Part. The output from each Envelope Follower can

be changed by selecting a different Source from the Control Assign screen.

For example, you can set up the Envelope Follower for Part 1 (EnvFollow 1) to create changes

in Part 2. How the sound is modified by the output from each Envelope follower can be set from

the Control Assign screen.

Using the Envelope Follower

(1) Input signal to Envelope Follower (Fixed)

(2) Output signal from Envelope Follower (The Destination can be changed)

Settings for the Envelope Follower:

[PERFORMANCE] → Common selection → [EDIT/ ] → Effect → Routing → Envelope

Follower (EnvFollow MST)

[PERFORMANCE] → Common selection → [EDIT/ ] → Audio In → Routing →

Envelope Follower (EnvFollow AD)

[PERFORMANCE] → Part selection → [EDIT/ ] → Effect → Routing → Envelope

Follower (EnvFollow 1–16)

You can set the Envelope Follower from the Rhythm Pattern screen. This way, you can quickly

access the Envelope Follower parameters often used for the Rhythm Patterns.

1Press the [SONG/PATTERN] button while holding down the [SHIFT] button

to open the Rhythm Pattern screen.

2Select a drum sound from the list shown on the left of the screen.

3Tap the Envelope Follower.

4Turn on the Envelope Follower switch.

You can play the keyboard to hear the effect of the Envelope Follower.

5Change the settings as needed.

Here, set Polarity (Curve Polarity) to Bi, Ratio (Curve Ratio) to −63, Gain (Envelope

Follower Gain) to −12dB.

6If you wish to further edit the settings, tap Edit to open the screen for the

Envelope Follower settings.

You can select a new kit or Arpeggio type for the Rhythm Pattern by simultaneously

holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [SONG/PATTERN] button to go back to

Smart Morph is a function that morphs FM-X Parts using machine learning.

By using Smart Morph, you can create a new sound for Part 1 from multiple FM-X Parts to play

on the keyboard.

The Smart Morph function analyzes each sound assigned to Parts 9 to 16 and plots one dot per

Part on the map. Each dot on the map represents a sound, and the distance between dots

shows the similarities of these sounds.

Pressing the Learn button automatically generates a dot for the new FM-X sound between the

existing dots on the map.

When you tap the dot on the map, the sound for that dot will be selected for Part 1.

You can find a new place you like from the map and save its settings to create a new FM-X part.

Also, by dragging the dot on the map while playing the keyboard, or by moving the Super Knob

with the movements of two to eight dots assigned beforehand, you can create completely new

sounds.

This instrument is equipped with a Vocoder. The Vocoder is a powerful and popular effect

processor that extracts the characteristics of the voice sung or spoken into the microphone to

modify the keyboard sounds. For example, you can play the keyboard while talking into the

microphone to make the instrument sound robotic.

The Vocoder modifies sound in a way that is similar to the mechanism for the generation of the

human voice. The human voice consists of sounds generated from the vocal cords, which are

then 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 bandpass filters. The machine-like ‘robot’

voice is created by passing the pitched sounds of musical instruments (such as a synthesizer

sound) through the filters.

(1) Mic Input or Part Output

(2) Part Output (keyboard performance)

(3) Extracting the characteristic of the input sound

(4) Creating formants

(5) Robot-like voice

To use the Vocoder, connect the microphone, set the A/D Input settings in the Utility screen, and

adjust the gain. Finally, select a Performance that uses the Vocoder effect, as shown below.

There are 16 MIDI channels for playing 16 Parts on this instrument. When you wish to use more

than 16 channels, you can use MIDI ports, which allow 16 channels per port. While a single

MIDI cable is capable of handling MIDI data for one port (or 16 channels), a single USB cable is

capable of handling MIDI data for up to 8 ports (or 128 channels) simultaneously.

On the MONTAGE M, the determined ports are provided for the USB terminals, as shown

below.

Dedicated for using the tone generator block of this instrument.

Make sure to set to Port 1 on the external MIDI device or the computer, if you wish the tone

generator block to be played on the external MIDI device or the computer.

Dedicated for using the DAW remote control.

MIDI channels and MIDI ports

Port 1

Port 2

Port 3

Dedicated for receiving MIDI messages from a MIDI device and sending them to another MIDI

device (for MIDI Thru).

On Port 3, the MIDI messages received through the [USB TO HOST] terminal are treated as

“Thru” on the MIDI [OUT] terminal, while the MIDI messages received through the MIDI [IN]

terminal are treated as “Thru” on the [USB TO HOST] terminal.

For sending MIDI messages between the MONTAGE M and the computer through the USB

cable, you need to select the appropriate MIDI Port as well as the MIDI channel. Set the Port

settings on the external device suitable for the situation.

By connecting the MONTAGE M and the computer, you can use the DAW software as in the

Using USB cables and standard MIDI cables (that are commercially available), you can connect

an external MIDI instrument to the MONTAGE M.

You can play an external MIDI instrument from the built-in keyboard, or play the tone generator

block from an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer.

Make sure to match the MIDI Transmit Channel of the external MIDI instrument with the MIDI

Receive Channel of the MONTAGE M.

To set the MIDI Receive Channel of the MONTAGE M, use MIDI I/O Ch. for Parts having

Keyboard Control is set to On, and Tx/Rx Ch. for Parts having Keyboard Control set to Off. If the

Part Mode is set to External, the Part will not receive MIDI messages from the external device.

For more information on MIDI Transmit Channel of the external MIDI keyboard, refer to the

owner’s manual of the MIDI Keyboard you are using.

Use the Zone function if you would like to play sounds from both the internal tone generator

block and the external sound module.

When you wish to play the sound only from the external sound module, lower the volume on the

MONTAGE M, or set Local Control to OFF from: [UTILITY] → Settings → MIDI I/O.

To set the receive channel on the external MIDI device, refer to the owner’s manual of the MIDI

Keyboard you are using.

The MIDI output channel on this instrument should be set to a different value, depending on

whether there are any Parts with Part Mode set to External.

When there are no Parts with Part Mode set to External, MIDI I/O Ch. is used for Part Common

or a Part with Keyboard Control set to On. Tx/Rx Ch. is used for a Part with Keyboard Control

set to Off.

When there are any Parts with Part Mode set to External, Tx Ch. is used for Part Common or a

Part with Keyboard Control set to On. Tx Ch. is used for the Part with the Keyboard Control set

to Off. Any Parts with Part Mode set to Internal will not transmit MIDI messages.

NOTE

You can use either the [USB TO DEVICE] or MIDI terminals to connect the external MIDI instrument.

By connecting a USB MIDI keyboard to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you can use the

connected keyboard just like the built-in keyboard, depending on the specifications of that

Special notes concerning MIDI communication

MIDI communication is one-way only (sent from the external MIDI device and received by the

MONTAGE M).

All MIDI data is received regardless of the MIDI IN/OUT and MIDI I/O Ch. settings.

For Parts with Keyboard Control set to on, data received on all corresponding channels is

shared.

(For example, when Keyboard Control for Parts 1 to 3 is set to on, data received from any of

channels 1 to 3 will be delivered to all Parts 1 to 3.)

Each Part with Keyboard Control set to off receives the data of only the corresponding

channel for the Part.

Equal

Temperament

Each octave is divided into 12 intervals of equal size.

This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.

Pure Major

Pure Minor

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad

chords (root, third, fifth).

You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies, such as choirs and a cappella singing.

Werckmeister

Kirnberger

Vallotti & Young

Each of the scales combines the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales.

The main feature of these scales is that each key has its unique character.

These scales were used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even

now they are often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.

1/4 shift The equal-tempered scale shifted up 50 cents.

You can create tension in your music by mixing this setting with Equal Temperament.

1/4 tone Twenty-four equally spaced notes per octave.

Playing twenty-four consecutive keys on the keyboard makes up an octave.

Key Banks are always saved as a part of a Waveform.

One Waveform is capable of holding multiple Key Banks. You can save even a few dozen Key

Banks, for example, in one Waveform. If you are saving multiple Key Banks in one waveform,

you can assign a key range and velocity range for each Key Bank by specifying the Note Limit

and Velocity Limit. By setting up multiple Key Banks, you can play various Key Bank sounds

depending on the section of the keyboard you use and the strength of your keystroke.

Example of Key Bank and Waveform setup

A Waveform must be loaded into a Part before it can be played.

You can assign a Waveform to an AWM2 Part from Element Edit in Part Edit (AWM2), or to a

Drum Part from Key Edit in Drum Part Edit (AWM2).

DualBPF, DualBEF, LPF12+BPF6, Thru

This Filter Type cuts the signals above the value set in Cutoff Frequency.

The sound becomes brighter as you raise the Cutoff Frequency, because more high-

frequency signals are passed by the filter; conversely, it becomes darker as you lower the

Cutoff Frequency, because more high-frequency signals are cut or blocked by the filter. You

can produce a distinctive “peaky” sound by raising the Resonance or boosting the signal level

near the Cutoff Frequency.

This Filter Type is very popular and useful for producing classic synthesizer sounds.

When this parameter is set to On, Arpeggio playback uses C1 for the bass drum and D1 for the

snare drum.

Most drum kits have the bass drum assigned to C1 and the snare drum assigned to D1.

However, some drum kits have the bass drum and snare drum assigned to some other keys. In

that case, the Arpeggio would use those assigned keys for playback instead.

For this reason, the Arpeggio may not be played back properly depending on the particular

combination of drum kit and Arpeggio type. When such problems occur, setting Fixed SD/BD

(Arpeggio Fixed SD/BD) to On may be able to solve the problem.

Settings: −50–+50

Sets the amount of pitch change controlled by the PEG.

Settings: 8 oct, 2 oct, 1 oct, 0.5 oct

For example, when this parameter is set to 8 oct, you can specify the smallest value

to the Pitch EG level to create a pitch change of −4 octaves by sending the pitch

value 0 to the internal tone generator, and by specifying the largest value to create a

pitch change of +4 octaves.

Sets how the time of the pitch change in PEG responds to Velocity or the strength of the

keystroke.

The speed change in PEG is used for the specified key in Center Key (fixed to C3).

Settings: 0–7

Positive values: The lower the key played, the slower the change in the PEG; the

higher the key played, the faster the change in the PEG.

0: No PEG changes regardless of the key position.

Changes the pitch of the Element randomly each time the key is pressed.

Settings: 0–127

Sets how the pitch responds to Velocity or the strength of the keystroke.

Settings: −64–+63

Positive value: The faster the Velocity, the higher the pitch becomes.

Negative value: The faster the Velocity, the lower the pitch becomes.

0: No pitch change
