Just subscribed as you saved me $99 and I got to download the coolest libraries. The discount code wasn't on the site - but I tried it at checkout and it worked. Great tips. So glad I found this channel.
Excellent video. You might want to mention that if you are using a Mac and you format the USB stick using the MODX the Mac cannot read it and so you can’t download the files. You need to format the USB stick on the Mac to MSDOS FAT32 which is obviously the format Yamaha is using. On the Mac go to Applications>Utilities>Disc Utility>Erase. When you erase select MSDOS FAT. Cheers, Stewart
No you have to load you library into the MODX/Montage. And also no a future update patch will not allow sound/library/performance access directly from USB.
Fantastic video, thank you so much. I got my MODX8 yesterday and had no idea how to load anything onto it. This was really helpful and told me exactly what I needed to know!
I wonder if Yamaha also makes it available old Yamaha MO Performances for MODX(+). I used to have MO6 (sold it), there are some performance patches that I would love to have it back. Please if anyone have any information on this? Thank you
How do you get your libraries to live set please? I've got a few loaded in but they don't all go to live set mode. Would apprteciate any tips to do this.
Great! I have a question though - I want to use stem tracks of the whole song or a few instrument audio tracks that are produced on Logic pro to be played back as rhythm variations A B C D and Fills/endings, etc.. (like audio styles present on the SX900 and others) Is that possible on the MODX6? I use ableton for it at the moment (gets tedious). Need to know if this board could do it so that we can use it at church instead of having to use a laptop and other gear. Thanks again for this video
I've previously loaded libraries into my montage without a hitch but, yesterday, I bought a new pack and when I did the usual loading procedure an "Illegal file" message appeared on screen. Any tips on how to fix this issue?
Have never heard of this, but definitely get back in touch with however you bought that from. Also check the file extensions, they could have been formatted incorrectly. Best of luck!
So on the Chick’s Mark V set it says the following: “Chick's Mark V for MONTAGE - a sample and MONTAGE Performance library NOTE: THIS SOUNDSET REQUIRES MONTAGE OS V1.51” I imagine though this will work with the Modx as you say in the video?
OMG, this is hugely helpful! The documentation that comes with the MODX isn't bad, but it really doesn't walk you through the process of how to do common things. Even the difference between User and Library files is pretty opaque. Can't thank you enough for this! Cheers mate! J
REALLY helpful! I've had my MODX8 for almost a year and didn't really know how libraries worked. I also didn't know about the free sounds! Now make a video about whatever the heck "motion sequencing" is. :)
..is there a way to edit and save the sounds from a library?i can save then like a new user files but not rewrite then into a library..i can do that easy with melas editor but is it possible into modx?regards
Do I have to load the entire library or can I just load specific sounds from a library? For example, on the MODX if I just wanted to store 10 sounds from Chick's Mark V, and 20 sounds from Montage Extended, etc... in order to stay within the 1GB limit. This way I don't have to keep deleting and reloading entire libraries based on the gig I am doing....
Well it's impossible to do anything right now because they've rolled out a broken new version of the site where you can't find anything unless you already know what you're looking for and nothing works.
Just 1 (ONE!) GB Memory in the Modx, al liitel more in Montage . "Sample Memory full" after 2 librairies......." Whatt? Loading takes 5min, deleting 3.... thats the furure? To buy sounds, that u can't use in modern (?) synth? It's just like a DX 7 with Cartridge and Sysexdump.......with a touchscreen and some shortcuts This 8 librairies -thing is a fake i.m.h.o. Now , the Laptop ist on the keyboard via USB and i use Native Komplete. As i did before... My original Plan was to buy a whole lot of interesting sound and feed the synth up to a killermachine. Deleted by Yamaha. Sad.
This is what I have researched for months and I fear will happen to my new MODX7. I'm not keen on having a peripheral sitting on top of my stand. I bought this thing hoping to get rid of that. and then, I am just discovering these "libraries" requiring emptying out your stored sounds and you have to use thumb drives or laptops. Absolutely not. Im a live player, not some pothead in a studio..jeez.
Great info. Thanks I “ordered” the Bosendorfer expansion library using the coupon code a few days ago and the order seemed to go through...got an email saying it would be shipped soon etc. Is this something I’m supposed to just download, though? Vs. getting a shipment? Can’t find anywhere to download it now that I’ve “ordered” it (for free).
