Exclusive: Airwave meets Yamaha Montage M
In a world-first collaboration, Airwave brings new dimensions of sound to Yamaha’s iconic synthesizer.
A powerful pairing
Yamaha’s legendary Montage M is among the most expressive keyboards available — equipped with three powerful synth engines, a responsive keybed, and extensive onboard controls, it’s no wonder you’re likely to see it on stages worldwide. Now, in a world-first collaboration with Airwave, you can play the air above it, introducing six new expressive dimensions to your performances.
Watch as world-class sound designer Dom Sigalas walks us through just what’s possible when such an icon as the Montage M meets Airwave.
And if two ultra-expressive instruments joining forces wasn’t exciting enough, there’s more. Explore 32 all-new, Airwave presets made specially for Montage M, created by none other than sound design innovators Dom Sigalas, Marcus Levy-Chance, and Atsuo “Ace” Yukawa. Watch as Dom shows just what’s capable with a few of the presets — a tiny glimpse at the full expressive potential of this dynamic duo.
The Airwave x Montage M presets featured in the video include CS80 Conductor, Orchestral Voyage, Horror Box, EP Majestic, and 3D Analogue Bass, but there are plenty more where those came from. Across the 32 presets, you’ll find expertly crafted sounds ranging from the futuristic and electrifying to the sinister and spooky, and everything in between.
Itching to get in on the Airwave x Montage M action? If you’re based in London, you’re in luck. From today, Monday 17 November, you’ll be able to get hands-on with Airwave and Montage M at Yamaha Music London in Soho and play with the all-new and exclusive sounds.
