It would be interesting to the technically curious (e.g. me) to hear some detail about what gives the Montage its improved sound quality over the Motif XF. Better samples? More powerful hardware? Higher time resolution? Wider data paths? Faster clock rates?

Enquiring minds would enjoy learning about this…

All of the above. Yamaha manufactures many of their own chips, not sure there is a really good answer to your question beyond - the Montage sound engine is a full six years beyond the XF. I think in one of the many videos (particularly the ones with the design team members) they discuss this.

I see if we can post an interview with some of the programmers and those close to the technology. Might be a very interesting read.
