The Montage looks great. I am very excited about the 8 part performances. Just what i was hoping for. And did I read the spec correctly- 1900 Performances Preset? Or is that max? Also 10,000 new Arps. WOW!. No need for Firewire. Just USB! Not sure is this USB 2 or 3?

The only disappointment for me was the loss of the Digital Out. I really use that and it is critical to my studio setup. I have a Motif XF6 with FW16 to my IMac and Cubase. But I route my Motif Digital Out to an external Digital Recorder, then DAC, Amp and Passive Monitors. ( I know unusual. Bu I don't Sequence. Use Cubase to control my Soft Instruments). So I need Digital Out. Will need to send the Montage Audio Out to an External A/D Converter then into my recorder.

Anyone recommend a good A/D reasonable priced.?

Really looking forward to this keyboard. Hope I can get a good trade in for my XF6.
