MONTAGE M Synthesizer
MONTAGE M OS v3.0
MONTAGE M OS v3.0 adds important Sound, Control and Workflow enhancements.
Sound
GS1 Ensemble Chorus
The GS1 was among the first FM synthesizers. Introduced in 1981, the flagship GS1 included an analog Ensemble and Tremolo Chorus unique to the instrument.
MONTAGE M OS v3.0 adds a VCM (Virtual Circuity Modeling) version of this classic effect along with signature sounds created by CASIOPEA keyboardist Minoru Mukaiya.
Audio Sample
CS Ring Modulator
An essential component of the legendary CS80 analog synthesizer is the Ring Modulator.
MONTAGE M OS v3.0 adds a VCM CS Ring Modulator effect that faithfully simulates this powerful sound.
All parameters are controller-assignable for deep real-time expression.
Audio Sample
Mid/Side EQ Compressor
Mid/Side (M/S) processing separates the mid and side signals of a stereo image, offering additional mixing tools compared to standard stereo processing. MONTAGE M OS v3.0 also adds a new Mid/Side EQ Compressor offering a creative tool for processing the spatial character, phase, level and EQ of a stereo sound.
New Clavi
Clavi is a staple sound in Soul, R&B, Rock and Pop. Our sound design team sampled this classic instrument and created a selection of Performances showcasing this new content.
