1 Keyboard
The MONTAGE6 features a 61-key keyboard, while the
MONTAGE7 has 76 keys and the MONTAGE8 has 88 keys.
All are equipped with a touch response feature (both initial
touch and aftertouch). With initial touch, the instrument
senses how strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses
that playing strength to alter the sound in various ways,
depending on the selected Performance. Aftertouch, on the
other hand, lets you alter the sound by the amount of
pressure you apply to a note after playing it. In addition, any
of a variety of functions can be assigned to aftertouch for
each part.
2 Pitch Bend wheel
Controls the pitch bend effect. You can also assign other
functions to this controller.
3 Modulation wheel
Controls the modulation effect. You can also assign other
functions to this controller.
4 Ribbon Controller
This controller is touch sensitive, and is controlled by running
your finger lightly across its surface laterally. You can assign
various functions to this controller as desired.
5 [ASSIGN 1] and [ASSIGN 2] buttons
(Assignable switches 1 and 2)
You can call up the specific Element/Operator of the
selected Performance by pressing each of these buttons
during your keyboard performance. In addition, you can
assign other functions to these switches. When one of these
effects is turned on, the corresponding button will light up
and vice-versa.
6 [MOTION SEQ HOLD] (Motion Sequencer
hold) button
Pressing this button while the Motion Sequencer is playing,
results in the sound being held or frozen at the exact point in
the sequence when the button was pressed. When the hold
effect is turned on, the button lights.
7 [MOTION SEQ TRIGGER] (Motion Sequencer
trigger) button
When you press this button, the Motion Sequence starts
again from the beginning. The button lights fully when
pressed.
8 [MASTER VOLUME] slider (page 15)
Move the slider up or down to control the output level from
the OUTPUT (BALANCED) [L/MONO]/[R] jacks and the
[PHONES] jack.
