    Using a Connected Computer
    Creating a Song with a computer
    By using the MONTAGE with DAW software on a computer 
    connected to the MONTAGE, you can take advantage of the 
    following functions and applications.
    • MIDI recording and audio recording of your MONTAGE 
    performance to the DAW software.
    • Playing back a song from the DAW software by using the 
    MONTAGE tone generator.
    This section contains an overview on how to use DAW 
    software on the computer with the MONTAGE after 
    connecting (page 49).
    Recording your performance on the 
    MONTAGE to computer as MIDI data (no 
    Arpeggio playback recorded)
    In this method, you record your performance on the 
    MONTAGE to DAW simply as MIDI data. Keep in mind that 
    Arpeggio playback cannot be recorded.
    Setting up the MONTAGE
    1Press the [UTILITY] button to call up the 
    Utility display.
    2Touch [Settings] tab  [Quick Setup] tab at 
    the left side of the display to call up the Quick 
    Setup display.
    3Select “1 (MIDI Rec on DAW)” of “Quick 
    Setup.”
    4Press the [EXIT] button to select the 
    Performance you want to record.
    Setting up the DAW software
    1Set MIDI Thru to “on” on the DAW software.
    By setting MIDI Thru to “on,” the MIDI data generated by 
    playing the keyboard and transmitted to the computer 
    will be returned back to the MONTAGE. As shown in the 
    example below, the MIDI data transmitted from the 
    MONTAGE then recorded to the computer via MIDI 
    channel 1 will be returned back from the computer to the 
    MONTAGE via MIDI channel 3 according to the setting of 
    the recording Track. As a result, the tone generator of the MONTAGE will sound the MIDI data generated by 
    playing the keyboard as MIDI data from channel 3.
    2Record your MONTAGE performance on the 
    DAW software .
    Recording your performance on the 
    MONTAGE to computer as MIDI data 
    (with Arpeggio playback recorded)
    In this method you can record Arpeggio playback on the 
    MONTAGE to DAW as MIDI data.
    Setting up the MONTAGE
    1Press the [UTILITY] button to call up the 
    Utility display.
    2Touch [Settings] tab  [Quick Setup] tab at 
    the left side of the display to call up the Quick 
    Setup display.
    3Select “2 (Arp Rec on DAW)” of “Quick 
    Setup.”
    4Press the [EXIT] button to select the 
    Performance you want to record.
    Setting up the DAW software
    Follow the same operations in “Recording your performance 
    on the MONTAGE to computer as MIDI data (no Arpeggio 
    playback recorded).”

    Using a Connected Computer
    Song playback from a computer using 
    the MONTAGE as a tone generator
    The instructions below show how to use this instrument as a 
    MIDI tone generator. In this case, actual MIDI sequence data 
    is transmitted from DAW software on the computer, letting 
    you take advantage of the dynamic sounds of the 
    MONTAGE, while giving you the added benefit of saving 
    processing power on your computer by avoiding the use of 
    software synths.
    Setting up the MONTAGE
    1Select the Performance to be edited.
    2Touch the [Mixing] tab on the Performance 
    Play display to call up the Mixing display.

    necessary.
    Setting up the DAW software
    1Set the MIDI output port of the Tracks for 
    playing the MONTAGE to Port 1 of the 
    MONTAGE.
    2Enter the MIDI data to each Track of the DAW 
    software on the computer.
    The tone generator settings of the part corresponding to 
    the MIDI Track will be set in the Mixing display on the 
    MONTAGE.

    When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO DEVICE] 
    terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is 
    appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.
    NOTICE
     Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during 
    playback/recording and file management operations (such as 
    Save, Copy, Delete and Format), or when accessing the USB 
    device. Failure to observe this may result in “freezing” of the 
    operation of the instrument or corruption of the USB device 
    and the data.
     When connecting then disconnecting the USB device (and 
    vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the two 
    operations.
    Using USB flash drives
    By connecting the instrument to a USB flash drive, you can 
    save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well 
    as read data from the connected device.

    No Sound.
    Are all sliders set to appropriate levels (other than zero or minimum)?
    Is the MONTAGE properly connected to related external equipment (e.g., amplifier, speaker, headphones) via audio cables?
    Since the MONTAGE has no built-in speakers, you will need an external audio system or a set of stereo headphones to 
    properly monitor it (page 14).
    Is the power of this synthesizer and any external equipment connected to this synthesizer turned on?
    Have you made all the appropriate level settings—including the Master Volume on this synthesizer and the volume settings on 
    any connected external equipment?
    When the Foot Controller is connected to the [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack, press the Foot Controller down.
    Is the Local Control parameter set to off?
    When the Local Control parameter is set to off, no sound is produced even if you play the keyboard.
    Is a blank Part selected?
    If so, assign any sound to the Part or select another Part.
    Is the Mute switch for each Part turned on?
    When the Mute switch is turned on, no sound is produced even if you play the keyboard.
    Is the Keyboard Control of each Part turned off?
    Is the “Arp Play Only” parameter of each Part turned on?
    When this parameter is turned on, the corresponding Part produces sound only via Arpeggio playback.
    Are the MIDI volume or MIDI expression settings too low when using the external controller?
    Are the effect and filter settings appropriate?
    If you are using a filter, try changing the cutoff frequency. Some cutoff settings may filter out all of the sound.
    • In case of Normal Part (AWM2) and Drum Part
    • In case of Normal Part (FM-X)
    Is “Vocoder” selected as the Insertion Effect Type of the Part?
    If so, set the parameters related to the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jack to the appropriate values then play the keyboard while 
    inputting your voice into the microphone connected to the MONTAGE. Check whether or not the A/D INPUT [GAIN] Knob on 
    the rear panel is set to the minimum position.

    Is the Mute switch for each Element/Operator of Part turned on?
     
    In case of Normal Part (FM-X), is the Carrier Level is set to “0”?
    Is the output parameter of each Part turned off?
    No sound from the A/D INPUT jack.
    Is the switch of the microphone turned on?
    Check the microphone type. Make sure to use a dynamic microphone.
    Is the cable between the microphone or audio equipment and this instrument properly connected?
    Is the A/D INPUT [GAIN] knob turned to the minimum?
    Is the A/D INPUT [ON/OFF] button turned on?
    Check whether or not the connection status of the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] matches the “Mono/Stereo” parameter.
    Check whether or not the “Mic/Line” parameter is set to the appropriate value.
    When the output level of the connected equipment (such as a microphone) is low, set this parameter to “Mic.” When the 
    output level of the connected equipment (such as a synthesizer keyboard, CD player) is high, set this parameter to “Line.”
    Are the volume settings of the A/D Input Part too low?
    Are the effect settings appropriate?
    Is the output setting of the A/D Input Part set appropriately?
    Check whether or not the Vocoder Effect is selected.
    When Vocoder is selected as the Insertion Effect for the current Part, the audio signal input from the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] 
    jacks may not produce any sound depending on the parameter settings.

    Troubleshooting
    Playback continues without stopping.
    When the [ARP ON/OFF] button is turned on, press it so that the button is turned off.
    When in the Song display, press the [+] (Stop) button.
    When the effect sound such as Delay continues, check the effect setting or select the Performance again.
    When the click sound continues, check the following parameter setting. Set this parameter to something other than “always,” 
    since this setting always plays back the click sound regardless of the sequencer status.
    Distorted sound.
    Are the effect settings appropriate?
    Use of an effect at certain settings may produce distortion.
    Are the filter settings appropriate?
    Excessively high filter resonance settings can cause distortion.
    • In case of Normal Part (AWM2) and Drum Part
    • In case of Normal Part (FM-X)
    Are any of the following volume parameters set so high that clipping is occurring?
    • In case of Normal Part (AWM2) and Drum Part
    • In case of Normal Part (FM-X)
    Sound is cut off.
    Is the entire sound (via your keyboard playback and Song/Part/Arpeggio playback) exceeding the maximum polyphony (128 
    for each of AWM2 and FM-X) of the MONTAGE?
    Only one note sounds at a time.
    When this situation occurs, the Mono/Poly parameter in the current mode is set to “mono.”
    If you wish to play chords, set this parameter to “poly.”
    Pitch or intervals are wrong.
    Is the Master Tune parameter of each Part set to a value other than “0”?
    Is the Note Shift parameter of each Part set to a value other than “0”?
