The three sound sources, "AN-X" reproducing warm vintage analog synth sounds, "FM-X" cutting-edge FM synth, and "AWM2" reproducing ultra-realistic instruments, deliver amazing sound. The addition of "Motion Control" allows you to incorporate even more unique expression into your music production. Unlike traditional hardware synthesizers, the MONTAGE M8x seamlessly connects stage and studio workflows by connecting and integrating with a computer. For pianists looking for 88-key weighted action and synth players looking for expressive polyphonic aftertouch, the MONTAGE M8x brings a new era of sound, control, and workflow to musical expression. ■■Keyboard
