BTW, the names are M6, M7 and M8X.

I think the "X" might mean "escapement" -- the keybed in the pictures is textured and maybe Yamaha incorporated the NWGH from the YC/CP 88s.

I had a short conversation with a GC store manager. CP88s sell like crazy. One comes in and it sells almost immediately. The NW keybed is popular with CP88 people and maybe Yamaha adopted it for the Montage M8X?

All the best -- pj

Gotta miss the orange bank button on the old one, but the new encoder under the touch screen may point to a new va synth?

edit: Hopefully it is not as heavy as the old model too especially for the 6 and 7 model

Hello Steakikan, I have to agree with you.

It would be great if this new board is lighter than the old one.

As for the functions, it seems to me that Yamaha has integrated a Sampler on board the Montage.

just my thoughts
