The Yamaha MONTAGE M8x is the next generation flagship synthesizer from Yamaha, designed to unite expressive performance with deep sound design and modern production workflows. Built for pianists who demand an 88 key weighted action and synth players who want the nuance of polyphonic aftertouch, MONTAGE M8x introduces a powerful new era of sound, control, and creativity.

At its core are three advanced sound engines. AN X recreates warm, characterful analogue synthesis, FM X delivers cutting edge frequency modulation with clarity and impact, and AWM2 provides ultra realistic sample based recreations of acoustic and electronic instruments. These engines are brought to life by Yamaha’s Motion Control Synthesis Engine, adding a fourth dimension of automated real time movement that makes sounds evolve organically as you play.

With extensive hands on control, a dedicated sub display, and deep computer integration, the MONTAGE M8x seamlessly bridges stage and studio, giving you direct access to sound shaping and effortless integration with modern DAW based workflows.
