Likely unwanted criticisms.

There's no need for these to be live.

They'd be vastly better if they were scripted, recorded, then edited with zooms and pans to that which is the most pertinent to display, all in the shortest effective time, with bookmarks/timestamps delineating explanations from howto and PowerPoint/Keynote style graphics interspersed where visual explanations help for graphing (resultant values from ratios and Controller extents in this case).

Some trends, like corporate/brand interest in live videos, is a misappropriation and misunderstanding of the trends that drive distracted youth to be interested in live video. Live video has its strengths, but explainers aren't one of them.

Please, Blake, consider this!

Here is a very good example that's still friendly, somewhat informal but incredibly well organised, accelerates with the viewer's knowledge (pacing) and is tight and to the point, across a truly staggering amount in the 30 minutes. This is USING video's strengths - and keeps in mind that that viewers can pause and rewind and review as they need.

Thus far, this was my favorite tutorial series for this generation of synths from Yamaha:

Quick, to the point, clear.

That said, I appreciate other mediums/approaches. Even the tech talks ("podcast" format) with no video at all.

This video was worse than the others, for what is probably the second most significant feature of the Montage/MODX.

Arguably the most significant feature, since it also serves to drive the SuperKnob.
