Hi
My thoughts, after 10 years of Montage/MODX series since 2016, I believe many users still prefer quick fixes on their music using the sequencer functionality where you can edit each note and effect velocity, erasing them etc, rather than needing to always hook up to iPad, laptops for the editing. At least for me, I feel it is troublesome. U know, when u are in the midst of making music and u hv to hook up to iPad to make changes in the play. It was so much easier and intuitive when I was using MOX6 to edit my music in the past. I miss this function. Hopefully Yamaha will look into this again for their next system update.

I'm not quite sure why more surgical editing wasn't pursued since this has been fairly consistently brought up as a weakness in the current implementation versus the past Motif/MO sequencers. And for the past MO line, this was done on a "tiny" LCD screen including MOX and MOXF. Even Motif XF with it's larger screen didn't have touch - so Montage M/MODXM has a chance to "one up" the sequencer of the past. Montage/MODX started out trying to "sell" that sequencers and sampling on-board a keyboard are two things best done on a computer and therefore fine to get rid of. After losing that argument on the sequencer, they should have went "all in" on the sequencer. At least the argument for getting rid of the sampler capabilities is holding up and there isn't outcry to bring that. Sample Robot was sort of a play to offer an alternative although not a 1:1 replacement similar to pattern sequencer versus the previous "full blown" sequencer.
