Thanks for the information. Some of the more major GUI changes - apparent changes to the home screen with different "views" makes a lot of sense - I always appreciated the piano view of ranges like the upcoming firmware shows (a piano at the bottom - and PARTs with the ranges along the keyboard shown) - and the velocity as a "graph" is nice - other controls are good. In order to show the extra information - "collapsing" parts in groups of 4 - not sure how flexible this is and how it plays out - but am happy to see the continued innovation.
The rotating speaker update was promised - and now being delivered - it'd be interesting to hear the results of the efforts.
Some of the other feature updates require more hands-on to know exactly what it "means" (at least to me).
Looking forward to the official release and perhaps any teaser prerelease information.

Another important new is " Backup files including Library and user files can now be saved ". maybe with one backup you can create a single file with all users and library data 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Is it an official announcement? is there a link for the above information?
EDIT: just found it on Yamaha Japan.

I think that Yamaha released the Montage once enough features of the new OS were already implemented.
What we're getting now is surely according to their plan, which is more often than not, a great one for all users.
The great thing about it is that we can obviously see here a third major firmware update.

It's official. There was a press release last night but embargoed until 16:00 today (UK time)
Don't think the links are up yet though, at least the link Yamaha gave me doesn't work.

Will this update allow performance change data to be sent to (and recorded by) DAW's?

I received a request for the Tyros harmonica and pedal steel guitar to be put on the Montage. Sounds like those should already be present but perhaps not as usable as the Tyros 5 version. This guy owns both the Tyros 5 and the Montage but of course he doesn't want to lug the T5 around just for those 2 voices.
Also available in February is the analog Arturia MatrixBrute. This should be a nice playmate for the Montage since Yamaha won't create its own authentic analog machine. Features include real analog signal paths but with digital controls and functionality. Real analog effects and an FM section.
