Introducing the Yamaha Montage 6, a synthesizer that ushers in a new era of sound creation and dynamic control. This innovation builds on the legacy of the iconic DX and popular Motif, setting a milestone in synthesizer technology. Designed to inspire, it offers a streamlined workflow, massive sound creation and sophisticated dynamic control in a single powerful keyboard.

The Yamaha Montage 6 is equipped with Yamaha's Motion Control Synthesis Engine, a unique feature which unifies and controls two iconic sound engines: AWM2 (high-quality waveform and subtractive synthesis) and FM-X (modern, pure Frequency Modulation synthesis). These engines can be freely zoned or layered across eight parts in a single Montage Performance.

The synthesizer also boasts the Super Knob feature, enabling dynamic sound changes from radical to sublime. This can control multiple parameters simultaneously, resulting in unlimited sound possibilities. The Montage also features Motion SEQ, a tempo-synchronized, completely customizable control sequence that can be assigned to virtually any synthesizer parameter.
