I would still submit if the users dictated the release schedule we would be even worse off from a Q&A perspective.

My own cheap shot: although other users have offered critiques about my "staying in the past" with respect to my operating Firmware Version - although I've been "missing out" on new features and performances - I have also saved myself from dealing with critical issues like the MIDI bank/PC issue and the v1.50 more critical issue (among others). There's nothing wrong with "bleeding edge" if you're willing to incur the possible ramifications.]]> MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Jason https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-18611 Introducing MONTAGE OS Version 1.5 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-18602 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:15:02 +0000 MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Rod https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-18602 Introducing MONTAGE OS Version 1.5 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-18597 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:33:55 +0000 Camilo wrote:

Yay! Awesome news - can't wait to upgrade my MONTAGE to OS 1.5]]> MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Cecilia https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-18597 Introducing MONTAGE OS Version 1.5 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-17530 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 12:00:21 +0000
MOXF6/MOXF8 data (X6A, X6V, X6G, and X6W) can now be loaded to MONTAGE.

This was not expected. Nice bonus - Motif was never "allowed" to load MO-series data and nice to see the MOXF series data can be loaded. I think I have a sound pack from the MOXF6 purchase that will be a nice addition to Montage.

... for all the pushback from Yamaha about not understanding how things work - it's nice to see that the firmware team at least saw this as a real error:

Fixed a problem in which Zone settings would not be correctly applied by switching Performances.

Seems to fit the problem seen by a few folks changing from a user performance with zone settings on a PART that is unused on the switched part - and still seeing bank/PC messages when switching to the new part.

Most of the other features have been hinted at. A few minor new ones like how the transpose buttons now work slightly different - not really highlights - but welcome minor changes.

Montage Connect has been updated - so get the new version.

16 out of 52 new performances are organs - likely to showcase the new rotating speaker effect. That leaves a lot of other stuff. Leads, pads, some vocoder, etc.]]> MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Jason https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-17530 Introducing MONTAGE OS Version 1.5 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-17528 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 11:24:41 +0000 Respect the points of division

Gentlemen of YAMAHA
Respect the points of divison that the users put in the performances because when we raise or lower the tones with the transpose MOVE. IF I PUT A LOW TO F3 WHY WHEN WHEN TRANSPORTATION MOVES UP OR DOWN ...? THAT SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE.


THAT WEARS PASSING FROM VERSION 1.2 (before not) AND IN 1.5 REMAINS WITHOUT BEING CORRECTED.

PLEASE CORRECT IT IN THE NEXT. THANK YOU]]> MONTAGE/MONTAGE M JUAN https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-17528 Introducing MONTAGE OS Version 1.5 https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-17526 Mon, 06 Feb 2017 11:16:20 +0000
Others may have opposite conflicts as not everyone shares the same work schedule/shift/days.

Friday is usually a pretty hectic day to be doing a release. And what if there's a bug exposed from widening the testing from the internal Yamaha group + beta testers to the entire world? The weekend, depending on the firmware team's schedule, seems to present a non-optimal time (possible gap) for responding.

No problem in stating a personal preference - but may be good to think about other competing priorities.

I'd rather Yamaha dictate the release schedule since that would seem to ensure the best quality outcome.]]> MONTAGE/MONTAGE M Jason https://yamahasynth.com/community/montage-series-synthesizers/introducing-montage-os-version-1-5/paged/3/#post-17526
