And from a product roll-out perspective, it may be that Yamaha is taking a bottoms up rollout approach, instead of the flagship launch 1st, start with low-cost consumer/semi-pro (Reface), then go to mid-level performance (Montage), and then integrate all the bells & whistles later after building the market and technology for the future flagship. The S-series description above sounds like the Montage too. Ease of use, plus compact size and portability Real-time controls for tweaking of the sound as you play. ![]() A truly realistic, naturally expressive keyboard.

The Montage AWM2 engine will be backward compatible with MOTIF sounds, but will add more goodies. ![]() With Motion Control, you can create new sounds not possible on previous hardware synthesizers. The Montage is a new platform, with two synth engines, 256-note polyphony, double FX and a brand new Motion Control Synthesis focus that Yamaha says is a highly programmable control matrix for creating deep, dynamic and incredibly expressive sound.
