I posted this on a YouTube video yesterday after doing an internet search for this problem and finding that others have had this issue:
I've just been searching the internet for Montage M crashing and found this video. I had my first crash on my Montage M6 a few months ago, just after I switched the default boot-up performance to one of my user live set ones. I hadn't had another crash until today when I was fiddling about with MIDI... testing a wireless MIDI adapter and then a USB cable. I realised tonight that the crash may have occurred because I left the screen on the utility page and just started playing. After a minute or two everything locked up and I had to shut the Montage M off. I decided to test this theory and put it back on the MIDI screen in utilities and started playing. It crashed again a couple of minutes later. I'm guessing this may also have caused the original crash as I would have had to have been in the utilities screens to change the default performance and I may have just left it on that screen and started playing. There could be a memory leak on some of the Montage M's pages. The other thing in common is that all my crashes have been using the same performance - American Beauty - so that may also be contributing to the problem. I think I'll post about it on Yamaha forum after I've done some more tests.
The crash has always been the same. Everything freezes... all knobs, switches, and sliders do nothing... the lights are on but no one is home!! Only solution is to power off Montage M. I'm yet to do further tests, but if I find any more info I'll post it here.
Is there anywhere to report bugs officially?
