Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Dual AWM2 and FM-X sound engines provide an enormous range of tonal possibilities from a single instrument
- Motion Sequences and Super Knob enable expressive, evolving sound design during live performance
- 32 audio output channels offer professional-grade routing for studio and stage setups
- Eight rotary encoders and faders with LED indicators allow hands-on, immediate parameter control
👎 Cons
- Premium pricing places the Montage6 well above mid-range workstations and may exceed hobbyist budgets
- 61-key semi-weighted action may not satisfy players who need a full 76 or 88-key weighted keyboard for piano parts
- The depth of the synthesis engine and parameter architecture presents a steep learning curve for new users
- Substantial size and weight make it less convenient for frequent transport compared to more portable synths
