In this video, we do a direct AB comparison between the newly released Yamaha Montage MX8 and its great grandfather the Yamaha Motif ES (rack).
All variables were removed in order to provide the most accurate comparison possible.
details are listed below:
A midi cable was connected from the Montage m directly to the motif ES rack. The same keybed was used for both instruments. The outputs from the Montage M and the ES rack were both connected to line inputs on a Focusrite interface. No gain was used at all. A Focusrite interface was used to keep the audio chain as basic as possible and give a reasonable example of what the average user would be listening from or recording through.
The connected midi cables and audio cables (output) allowed both the Montage and the ES rack to be recorded simultaneously into the DAW recording program Logic Pro (for iPad). 2 separate stereo tracks were used PER sound to capture the audio. No effects were used. The files for each track were exported UNCOMPRESSED. No volume boost was added to either unit at any stage of this comparison project. The master volume knob for both units were set to 3'oclock and left there for the duration of the project (about 75% of max volume.)
