Montage OS 3.5 came out recently and  introduces the Smart Morph feature for the FM-X engine, as well as a number of other features including:

• Add parts during record
• Realtime overdub controller data
• Improved erase event job
• Improved get phrase job
• Improved normalize play FX
• New pattern chain play
• Undo/redo on any page

Jim takes a look at Smart Morph for us  - as a long time Montage owner, he appreciates that the instrument is still being updated, adding new features. the Montage OS 3.5 is free  - though Yamaha (us too!) recommend backing up your data before performing the upgrade.

You will need a 1GB USB flash drive formatted on the Montage.
