When I saw few videos online I thought, I really like this keyboard and felt definitely worth upgrading my existing Montage 8 into the M8.
Guys (and Gals) I have to say; this is a completely different keybaord altogether... even the keys of a fully weighted hammer action feels much lighter and an absolute "JOY" to play.
Powering on unlike other instruments is super fast, I think taking about 10 seconds or so, the initial sounds that Yamaha has put in on the initial pages are what I was hoping to hear, it honestly feels like the instrument is talking to me.
The new dual screen system makes editing a breeze, this is unliek the old Montage it simplified pretty everything and now I could easily focus on content rather than finding the right setting or sound even.
Although the wheels are the same however the controls over the wheels are totally new and makes sense, without doing any custom selections or assignments as you can see out-of-the-box feels like a complete instrument.
I initially went to Andertons to see if I could buy then, however I could not see the person I always deal with, the person in the shop did not give me a great value for my Montage-8 so decided to keep looking, gone back home, then an email came in from Bonners Music with the instrument also available there, I called in and thanks to Bonners Sales; I had a great deal to go ahead, paid my deposit and was looking forward to see it soon, it didn't take long to get the new instrument, I think only about few days and the email came in with (all good to go), ... excccited...
So, there you have it, the Montage-M8 in all bells and whistles,... is an absolute beast and is the best keyboard I've ever had.
I will make more videos hopefully as the time goes by... just need to pay some bills first :)
Thank you for watching.
Cheers
