Nigerian producer and keyboardist Wole Oni plays through some of his favorite MONTAGE Performances in this captivating video.
His approach to the instrument is underscored and informed by his deep connection to the music of Nigeria, but his connection to gospel, R&B and jazz is also clearly apparent.
Using the on-board tools like Motion Control, the powerful Arpeggiator and other realtime controls he effectively shows the creative possibilities of MONTAGE. And notice how he seamlessly moves from one Performance to another thanks to Seamless Sound Switching (SSS). Enjoy this flavorful bit of synth video with Wole Oni and MONTAGE:
