Create high quality FM-X sounds with the Montage M

Описание: Hi All,

It's been a while since I posted anything on the Montage, been quite busy with many things going around also working on the Kronos and the OMAP additionally to understand the hardware more.

This video should cover most of what you need to know in either to produce high quality sounds using the Yamaha Montage FM-X engine.

I don't think many have come near FM-X programming or tend to stay away from it due to its complexity and time required to make good sounds.

The start of the video covers the fundamentals of the FM sounds and how sampling works, it's best to go through it even through it's 26 minutes long; it's worth understanding if you want to get to the nuts and bolts of how FM works.

The second part of the video focuses on the Montage Algorithms, I chose 3 in particular that I would use more often, as they can produce fantastic quality sounds.

The "spices" added in the end makes a huge difference which is nowhere near the starting point of the sine-wave.

For the record; FM does not take much space as its mostly equations, it is an engine rather than a sample-playback, also can have more polyphony than samples when working with.

Hopefully my video will turn the pain of programming FM-X into a fun experience for all.

And by all means, if you need to understanding anything or struggle with anything on your instrument, please reach out, I usually help whenever I have the time.

Good luck and Happy Composing.

Cheers
