Yamaha Montage and Montage M Forum • Re: The next update to the Montage-M

The original Montage didn't have space &/or available power for another engine so I hope the M does for at least something more.

It has a fan so that's a plus for more power or does that use more power? It's cooler at least for additional demands. Maybe it's just for the second screen heat.

Hopefully seven years from now we're not talking about what we talked about last time.

Lesson learned from the first generation hopefully they have a rabbit in the hat some special feature.

One speculation is a piano nuance engine however that functions in harmony with AWM2 pianos.

We think some new features will come to the GEX action. Does the piano this was stolen from give us any clues to date?

Can FDSP Formulated Digital Signal Processing just be loaded up and does it work like a wavetable? I had the EX long ago I remember it could sound like water or a pickup. IF you read the following this sounds like what they apply to the piano for additional realism.

IF this can be controlled on a per note basis what could you do with it using the PAT/GEX? That sounds interesting.

FDSP — or Formulated Digital Signal Processing, to give it its full title — is Yamaha's new system for adding note‑dependent processing to AWM sounds, to give them greater realism. If the VL system was modelling, FDSP might be thought of as re‑modelling, and in some ways it seems similar to Roland's V‑Guitar process, which starts off with a raw, vibrating guitar string as the source, and then uses DSP to shape that sound. The EX series of synths features powerful effects processors, and the same elements that are used in conventional effects may also be used in FDSP, the main difference being that the effects parameters are note dependent. In effect, this means generating polyphonic signal processing; by using effects such as delay and equalization it's possible to model the behavior of such things as electric piano or electric guitar pickup types and positions. Because of the processing power needed to run FDSP, polyphony is reduced when FDSP is used.

FDSP comes with a set of preset configurations, which may be applied to an AWM sound and then adjusted to change the sound or to create more natural dynamics. For example, the electric piano configuration emulates the effects of changing pickup position and distance relative to the end of the piano tine. Not only does this produce timbral changes, but as the pickup is brought close to the tine, distortion may also be introduced. The electric guitar configuration emulates picking position, pickup position and so on. Up to four AWM elements, or three AWM elements plus one AN element, may be fed through the FDSP process, after which the sound may be treated using normal effects. Though I only heard a few examples of FDSP, the fact that chorus rates or delay times can be optimized for each note on the keyboard suggests that some interesting resonant effects should be possible.
