I'm assuming that the free Montage Expanded library is compatible with the MODX? I've been trying to get it from YamahaSynth but it keeps looping round when I press the continue button and I can't get past this stage. I've entered my details correctly and it knows that no payment is required, but there's nowhere I can see to actually download it (see screenshot)
Any ideas how I can get this download please? (assuming it is compatible with the MODX!)

I've solved the download problem. I tried it using Edge browser instead of my usual Firefox browser and it then offered me the download option 🙂 Just in case anyone else has this problem I thought I'd post the update.
Can anyone confirm that the Montage Expanded pack is compatible with the MODX please ?

I can’t confirm but its been said that Montage files can be read by MODX. Can’t see why this would be different.

The information is published in several places.
Sound libraries for Montage are distributed as X7L (Library) files. These are published as compatible - meaning you can load them into MODX. Compatibility means the load will work and the Performances should work similar as they did on Montage. It does not mean Performances will act exactly as they do on Montage. There are differences between the two instruments so things like SSS or FM polyphony limits will not be the same on MODX as on Montage. Therefore, there may be some limited cases where a library will react differently on MODX than it does on Montage. This depends on usage.
Documentation:
MODX Reference Manual https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/2/1192582/modx_en_rm_a0.pdf
pg 200 shows X7L and X7U files are compatible with MODX.
Libraries are not distributed as X7A files (Montage backup files) - these are not compatible (note on same page 200)
