Three Engines, Limitless Sound

Explore an infinite sonic universe with three state-of-the-art sound engines. The improved AWM2 offers ultra-realistic acoustic instruments, the legendary 8-operator FM-X provides classic and modern synth textures, and the new AN-X engine authentically recreates the warmth and behavior of vintage analog synthesizers.

Unparalleled Expressive Control

The Montage M8X features the exclusive GEX weighted keyboard action, providing the nuanced response of a grand piano. Elevate your performance with Polyphonic Aftertouch, allowing you to modulate individual notes with pressure for incredibly detailed expression, a feature revered in legendary synths like the CS-80.
