While lots of MONTAGE M owners have been following my Demystifying MONTAGE and MODX video series, there have been various requests for a MONTAGE M specific series, and I’m happy to announce that the first few of videos from the new series have now been published.

To date, there are videos covering:

  1. Getting Started: Finding Sounds, Live Sets and Category Search
  2. Playing Performances: Arpeggios, scenes and controls
  3. How to use EVERY button, knob and slider - a comprehensive tutorial
  4. Building a new performance: Loading parts, managing splits and rhythm patterns
  5. Using scenes to switch keyboard control, arpeggios and more
  6. Building a multi-keyboard performance with splits and layers
  7. Integrating MONTAGE M with Logic Pro
  8. Polyphonic aftertouch for MONTAGE M6 and M7
  9. How to upgrade MONTAGE M firmware to 2.10

More to come soon!
