Using scenes to switch keyboard control, arpeggios and more with Yamaha MONTAGE M / MODX M

In the fourth part of the    • Yamaha MONTAGE M Demystified (covers MODX M)   tutorial series, we set up keyboard control for a performance, and use scenes to bring different parts of the performance under keyboard control for different parts of our song. I'll cover two different approaches to using scenes, one offering maximum control, the other being the easy option. We use scenes to switch the arpeggio attached to the drum part of the performance and adjust the super knob. We look at the concept of single-purpose utility scenes, that can be used to manipulate the mix or AEG of other scenes in a mix-and-match fashion. Finally, we look at an alternative, easier approach to scenes that is virtually foolproof. ... but beware, there is a weirdness when programming keyboard control with the scene interface!    • Weirdness! Setting keyboard control with s...   IdeaScale suggestion to include key ranges in scenes: https://yamahasynth.ideascale.com/c/y... 00:00 Introduction 00:15 A demo performance 00:53 Arpeggio hold 01:18 Control assign... 01:27 Keyboard splits 02:27 Fixing unwanted portamento 03:14 Keyboard control or mute and solo? 03:41 The problem with muting 04:24 Configuring keyboard control 05:26 Part selection for keyboard control 06:34 Parts 9-16 07:12 Intended use and workarounds 07:33 Switching keyboard control 08:09 Scenes for keyboard control 08:41 Clearing unwanted scenes 09:04 Scene parameters 09:48 Program only what you need 09:57 Switching keyboard control 10:40 Storing a scene 11:13 Subsequent scenes 11:41 Checking progress 12:22 Arpeggio numbers 12:47 Switching arpeggios with scenes 13:13 Scene complexities... 13:29 Addressing the problem 13:58 You must think ahead 14:50 Controlling the super knob with scenes 15:27 Don't forget to allow the other scenes to undo your change! 16:01 Progress review 16:56 Single-purpose utility scenes 17:20 Change mix with scenes 18:26 Adjusting AEG with scenes 19:26 Overview 20:01 The alternative (easy) approach to programming scenes 20:23 Programming ALL parameters 21:50 The drawback to programming all parameters 22:24 A workaround 22:58 Key ranges can not be controlled with scenes 23:17 Next time...
