i have barely scratched the surface of this instrument's capabilities. Programming has depths to plumb and i have not yet initiated a sound and programmed it from the ground up in sunthesis, but using diffrrent engines i have begun to formulate some rather unusual sounds created new, evolving textures which can be added or subtracted, resampled and used in an FM sound or as any one of so many possibilities to explore. It's mind blowing! i love it!! i will pair this with Native Instruments' Reaktor and some patches of my owln wicked design, CubasePro running some of my favorite VSTs, amd creates a sub mix which feeds directly into the External Audio In of The Montage M8x and as such is mixed, sampled, used in composite structures in the Montage M8x. likewise, the resultant waveform output can be modulated by being again resampled in real-time and used as part of any virtual machine or machines, with yhe ability to change the sound expressively from all of the controller capabilities of the Montage M8x. remember all of the knobs, faders, buttons, pedals, sliders, keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch to...say, open the filters for that one note , only when i press this key harder than the rest. - if you're not lost by that... this the finest, such perfectly clean audio output, and all this on an instrument, which had a range of sounds possible so large as to become a sound designer's deeam. with the Audio inputs on the that any sound is possible when as a most expressive,
