I think getting top knotch results with the motion sequencer in your self created performances might be much much harder to archieve.. doing random things just might not work...jimknopf wrote:After a first read of the Montage reference manual I can't detect anything super-deep far and wide. It has less than 200 pages plus a synth manual of ~80 pages, compared to more than 1100 pages of the Kronos reference manual. That alone tells something about how broad and deep the functionality of both synths is in comparison.
What I like: the Montage really seems to have a convincing performance oriented concept (in contrast to the cluttered Motif structure), with a lot of modulation sources and targets available. Else, apart from possible complex FM programming, there's certainly nothing too deep or mysterious involved at all, as far as I can tell after my first read. And I think that's positive news for possible Montage users: getting a somewhat shorter learning curve than with the complex multi-engine, sequencer-including and sample-ready Kronos OS.
Richard Devine's bold statement now even looks more silly to me than ever, after checking the Montage documentation today.
We will deffiantely have to see how this works out, the motion part certainly seems to be a powerfull tool, but will people actually use it if they cant get to their desired results quickly?
