How to Setup Key Splits on the Yamaha Montage or MODX

I get questions from a lot of musicians on how to setup key splits on the Montage/MODX. It's actually really quick to do and flexible, you can split up to 8 parts on the keyboard.

Did this the other day, with a guitar part on lower keys, String part on upper, and then an electric piano across the whole range but at a lower volume. Then mapped the super knob to raise the EP volume, and trigger the super knob with an expression pedal plugged into port 2. Also, if your left part is sounding too low, raise it an octave in your performance settings. Keep up your videos man.

Very helpful thanks! Any idea why after splitting half of the keyboard only plays if I press the keys softly? No sound if I hit them hard??

[Markus.el]

Good explanation. But do you know if it is possible to change the octave of only one certain split part of the keyboard? For example I would like to change an organ on the left hand to 1 or 2 octaves higher so it doesn’t sound that deep and dump while keeping the octave of the right hand (e.g. a Piano Sound) as „normal“ so it is not too high.

Thank you for showing me how to split the yamaha modx6 keyboard

[stephenlennartz]

How do I change the octave within a split and save it to a Live Set? Thanks so much for your excellent videos!

Hi Sounds & gears....is it possible to freeze split points even after changing transpose or octave, because when using transpose the split position changes...Plzzz answer me

Wassup bro, do you know if the modx6 has the same sound quality as the moxf on the real instrument voices? I read modx6 sounds different and thinner than previous motifs. I had the moxf6 and sold it like an imbecile and miss those sounds but i wouldnt pay thr same 1000 usd now would rather move to thr modx6 for a hundred bucks more, immjust concerned bout sound quality. thanks

Hey bro I'm a fan of your page question in split mode how do you add sustain to a separate section

[mstcmusic]

How do you get the sustain off of the split bass and only on the right hand keys section? I have a sustain pedal but it is sustaining the bass section too.

[jimmiewilliams]

How can I have the modx6 keyboard split with bass in the left hand, and keyboard on the right hand with a drum pattern?

How many layers of tones modx7 can play at the same time?

[gianul]

Hey Joe, I would like to know how to change the Octave on each side. For example I would like my piano to start in a deeper register.

[godfreyomoighe]

Nice one after doing exactly what you did my base voice is still sustaining when l press the pedal and trying to change the octave of the voices it’s affecting the all voices please l need to know how to prevent them thanks

[quincybaker]

Thank you. Could you please help me with how to use the drum patterns/kits in live performance? How to I access, select and start a beat on the Montage. The MODX has a button for this, the Montage doesn’t that I’ve found.

How to download the saved performance you just splitted?

[kendalwilli]

How do I change the octave within a split and save it? Thanks

[stephenlennartz]

Once I create a split ... how do I save it? I want to be able to recall the split in a live performance setting. Thank you.

[TCfromSC]

Does the MODX come with all the sounds from the Motif XF?

[amoreterno]

And how to save and where to find it later?

[dmitriiturchenkov]

Hi. I found that parts 9-16 don't have keyboard control. So i can use straight 8 parts, and other 8 parts by arpegio or something
