I received a question about the backup and restore process on the Montage. In this video I show how to backup all the settings in a single file as well as where you go to restore that file later. It's a great way to save the state of your Montage with all the extra libraries and presets you've added for quick recall later.

So happy I find this page. Can you please tell me how to find portamento in the MODX? I need to find where to affect the sounds and tweak them.

@SoundsAndGear 4 года назад

I'm not sure about portamento specifically, but when you're on a performance you can hit the edit button to edit your parts or the individual elements and other options for the sound.

@quincybaker728 5 лет назад

Thank you. Does backup automatically backup User created performances and User created Live Sets? Any recommendations on best (USB) size to use?

@SoundsAndGear 5 лет назад

I believe it backs up everything if I recall correctly. I'd say at least 8gb but bigger if you can just in case you have a lot of libraries and such you want to keep on there too.

@quincybaker728 5 лет назад

Thanks bought a scan disk 64 gig. Bought one of those little flat ones like computer wireless mouse receiver so I can just leave it in the board. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MDXBTL1/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Appreciate the reply

Cool

@BehzadBhandari85 4 года назад

But if the new update has new performances.. And I restore my backup file.. It won't wipe any new performances that came with the update yes? I need to save all my user performances.. Will this method work?

@SoundsAndGear 4 года назад

The new performances aren't stored in the user section so you should be ok

@rishabhj9 6 лет назад

Is there a way that you could only save your User Live Set to an USB and load it on a different Montage?

@SoundsAndGear 6 лет назад

Yeah, in the file menu you can save/backup your contents. As long as the other Montage has the same libraries it will work. If it's just using internal sounds it will work for sure.

@flacobass 6 лет назад

Anyone know ow to fully back up from an original version 1.2 OS? It doesn't have the "Backup File" option in the utility Content Type dropdown menu.

@SoundsAndGear 6 лет назад

Hmmm, I'm not sure, you may have to backup separate files for the libraries, user section, etc.

@MrJONOAS 5 лет назад

Have the same question ... No `back up file` to my synth, too..

@joltonrodrigues539 5 лет назад

Had a question When ever I register a performance in a live set with a change in transpose in it I find that the transpose does not get saved (it gets back to normal 0) . How can I save any performance With a transpose with it? Plz help..

I did a backup before going to version 3.. now the backup says file error, would you know why?

@SoundsAndGear 4 года назад

No clue, I no longer have this so not sure if what 3.0 changed, if it is a bug, or just a random error. You'd have to contact Yamaha support.

Hi, how can i permanently upload a loop or style onto modx via USB flash drive. Have tried this and i can actually play the beats when the USB flash drive is connected but i want the style to be permanently stored on the keyboard? Also, how can i store the created pattern loop on the Keyboard not on USB? Thanks

I'm not sure, you may have to import it and save it to your user library.

@dannyvazquezg 4 года назад

Hi friend. I knew that with the new version 3.0 you can only save 128 patterns inside the Montage. If you are someone like me I make more than 128 patterns so I will have to backup every 128 patterns.

@SoundsAndGear 4 года назад

Yes, you will have to back them up.

@seankalifut9948 4 года назад

If I have Patterns that I made plus 500 MB of third party libraries, I am assuming I have to back that up in order to load another user file. If I want to go back to my patterns does that mean I have to load 500 MB each time?

@SoundsAndGear 4 года назад

If you load a user file it will replace what is already in the user location. You can add specific things from backup like patterns, sounds, etc, but replacing the whole user file will replace everything.

@seankalifut9948 4 года назад

@@SoundsAndGear Thank you. Saving is a tad different from the Motif keyboards. This helps greatly.

@SoundsAndGear 4 года назад

Glad to help!

@dannyvazquezg 4 года назад

You cannot record more than 128 patterns. You will have to make different backups for each 128. The problem with this is that when you want to recover a specific one, it is impossible to know unless you recover each backup one by one.

@SoundsAndGear 4 года назад

@@dannyvazquezg Yep, not very intuitive if you have a bunch of patterns

My Montage shipped with OS v 1.2 - which does not have Backup File as an option
