As you know, the Montage has a direct Performance Recorder (not a sequencer). So what the Motif XF did with track priority does not necessarily apply. Frankly, I don't know if the same timing priority is enforced in Montage - since it is not a traditional sequencer.

thank you, phil, i appreciate your honest response. but i have to say that i respectfully disagree with your view as to whether the montage has a sequencer or not. it has, according to yamaha. the following excerpt is from the official montage brochure:

yes, basic sequencer functions like copying or erasing notes have not been implemented. one can not fix mistakes made during a recording. there is no point in that, due to the fact that we are talking about a couple of kilobytes of simple midi data, not memory-intensive wav files. technically it is a midi sequencer, so therefore it must prioritize a midi track over other midi tracks, don´t you think? i have a favor to ask you: could you drop the montage developers (or at least one of them) a mail about the matter? they should know it. here they are:

that would be most helpful. many thanks.

As BM says - it's not a traditional sequencer - the brochure describes it as a Performance Recorder. Why waste time continually complaining about what the montage isn't.

i'll never get tired of criticizing the fact that yamaha artificially restricted the built-in sequencer. as parent company of steinberg they want montage customers to purchase the full-blown cubase version later also. i call that kind of behaviour shameless chicanery. for example: can anyone explain to me why yamaha enhanced montage's functionality by adding 'song loop PLAYBACK', but not 'song loop RECORDING'?? pure chicanery. they should stop playing games with us.
