Just looking at Yamaha MusicSoft the other day and noticed they were offering a new montage sound library at no cost, KAPro CS80.
They still also have the Montage Expanded and Chick's Mark V library's for free for anyone that needs those.
Thanks for posting that... Dr Peter Jungโs data is simply awesome... an obvious huge fan of the iconic CS80!
Bookmark the YamahaMusicSoft site... check in often.
Thanks,got it ๐
Thx!!! Grabbing it now.:p
Some really cool sounding single part sounds, that can be split by element for shifting between sounds with superknob / foot pedal. These found free Libraries are a blast to play with, almost like getting a new keyboard for free. This one is a keeper for awhile. So far I have only bought one lib (FM-Exp) so far, but still always have all lib slots filled with all this free content for the Montage.
Thank you Mark ๐
Guess it was a one or two day thing? I didn't see it. Anyone have a link? I have the Chick Corea, Expanded and Bosendorfer...
The original post has the link. It's in a box with bold print labeled "References". The link still works and still shows $0.00.

Hi Jason,
That worked.
Wonder why it wasn't in their regular menu...
Thanks!!!!
Proving a straight-forward, elegant search-engine that finds what you're looking for is not a strong suit for Yamaha.
I did find that certain options would not show the CS80 content (likely what you were running into). When I asked the site to show all libraries - it did show the CS80.
Navigate here:
https://www.yamahamusicsoft.com/sound-and-expansion-libraries
This shows all libraries. It will "remember" that you've narrowed the search to "Montage" as a requirement for compatibility.
When you narrow the price by $0.00-$4.99, you will see currently there are 3 Libraries that match: CS80 Montage, Montage Expanded, and Chick's Mark V Montage.

In case anyone missed out on the Bรถsendorfer free promo, it's still available there for free via promo code even though it is listed for $99.99 ๐ฎ
Thank You Mr. Jason.
Hi, I've just installed KApro CS80 to the Montage, but I've found out that sending the following MIDI program change messages to the Montage work, but to my dismay, they work only the patches from 01 to 36:
CC # 0 at value 64
CC# 32 at value 50
ProgramChange message 0 - 35
Does anybody know the rest of the program change messages to address the rest of the patches from 36 to 164? I'd very appreciate it if someone could tell me.
