Integrating Yamaha MONTAGE and MODX with Logic Pro

By -


The Yamaha MONTAGE, MONTAGE M, MODX and MODX+ synthesizers work great with DAW software, but Yamaha's own documentation concerns itself primarily with its own DAW, Cubase, leaving Logic Pro users scratching their heads.

This playlist is a comprehensive guide to getting the most out of your MONTAGE family synth with Logic Pro, covering subjects from basic setup, different ways to record MIDI and audio, working with multiple audio interfaces, MONTAGE connect, putting the DAW remote to use, using external controllers and even integrating virtual instruments into your performances.

The videos are designed to be watched in order first time around. Skip ahead and you may miss a set-up that is required for the video you are watching.

Complaint Sent to BBC Regarding F1 Coverage

By -
It was announced today that from 2012, broadcast rights for Formula One races will be shared between the current holder, BBC Sport, and Sky Sports. The BBC will show a selection of races live, including Monaco, Silverstone and the final race of the season, while Sky Sports (a premium rate pay-TV channel) will broadcast every single race. Twitter is fuming with rage over the announcement, and I felt compelled to make a formal complaint: As a license fee payer, I would like to make abundantly clear that I find the newly announced Formula One broadcast arrangements abhorrent. BBC Sport director Barbara Slater's 'delight' over the matter fills me with ire, as I know of not a single follower of F1 that will share her sentiments. This is a monumental betrayal of those that have supported the BBC and F1 in recent years, and an appalling slight to the BAFTA award-winning production team and presenters that have raised the sport to its current heights. No, broadcasting 's

As many will know, five weeks ago today, back on October 12th I had an episode of impactful tarmac interaction - as in I came off my bike. Of course, to say 'came off my bike' does not illuminate the context of the event, and lends itself to speculation of incompetent riding resulting in a self-inflicted tumble, or perhaps the other extreme of having been mowed down by an errant eighteen-wheeler. In the interest of illustration, I shall provide that required context in the form of... telling you what happened. View Larger Map I was pootling along Long Lane in Tilehurst, Reading (UK), which is near where I live. As I was approaching the junction with Orchard Close, I saw three boys (I'd say between 8-10 years old I think) on bicycles waiting on the pavement to cross the road. The first of them kicked off and was safely to the other side long before I was anywhere close. The second made a motion to go, but looked and saw me, and stopped. I made eye-contact to make sure he
