Can you offer instructions on formatting the disc drive and the link to download for montage 8? I just recently received mine and have not really explored this aspect as I Am technology challenged 😊I’m loving it though. Incredible instrument
apples and oranges. although im finding it hard to beat the playability of nord pianos ( like 20 uprights to choose from ). nord stage 4 only 6 grand! the more they come out with new ones though the older ones get more affordable at least :0 wonderfull playing as usual andrew, take care.
Remember thats a sample of the Nord not the actual true Nord being played from the actual keyboard so its really not a fair comparison. The montage sound is straight from the hardware of the keyboard so thats a big difference
Nice playing. The Nord sound is more lively, realistic, less synthetic than Yamaha‘s, but too tiny. With a bit of effect or EQ tweaking, rhis should be a minor problem. I had the Yamaha Boesendorfer on my MODX and deleted it because it sounded extremly boxy without any chance to correct this by effect or EQ filtering, the Montage is better suitable for this Multisample, it seems.
This cutting-in-a-mix thing is pure bullshit. Wether a piano will fit in a mix or not, solely depend on the mix. Sometimes you need a bright piano and sometimes you want a mellow one, but our ears is normally drawn to brighter frequencies so if you in example have a bright piano along with a vocalist that piano will often start to fight for the attention instead of the vocals. Therefore Yamaha and Nord will work equally well in a mix.
