So does 10.8 require Ventura?

Same here. I tried the YC61. Didn’t like the keys. And they got worse over time. Liked the organ, though, but the rest couldn’t convince me. Price was good at launch, even new, not that much more than a CK61 now. Then I got the CK. Wonderful sound and controls, plus speakers, plus battery power. Bye bye YC it was.

So, about the fan: https://www.amazona.de/test-yamaha-montage-m6-m7-synthesizer/#lueftergeraeusche-im-montage-m6-synthesizer

Pianoteq Standard with the Steinway D duo, the Bechstein and the Blüthner.

Got the Reface CP and now added a CK61 as its larger sibling. Wonderful.

I was thinking of getting the new Yamaha M but it’s got a cpu fan to which I’m quite opposed. Here’s hoping the Genos 2 will be fanless.

Some sweet rambling @felis Myself, I tend to go both ways. I like smallish lightweight keyboards to play with on the couch, but also large motherload machines, as they feel more meaty and less flimsy. My PC4 is in the second group. It’s like playing a MODX6 or MODX7 after owning a MODX8. The latter felt much more substantial.

And here’s the one for RD-88 from ChazKeys: https://aka-v-c-f.blogspot.com/2023/09/roland-rd88-editor.html?m=1

or get a Fan tom

Still, I guess I’ll wait for the upcoming Electro 7.

Okay, I’m dead, even the M8x has a fan.

A dear forum friend just posted this regarding the Montage M fan: http://sandsoftwaresound.net/montage-m-fan-on-fan-off/ Some good points, but when he refers to fans in the MacBook Air, I have to point out that both the MacBook Air M1 and the M2 have no fan at all. So, if Yamaha uses ARM processors, they could as well have opted for a large heat sink. Granted, many people don’t mind fan noise, especially musicians of the gigging persuasion. I don’t do gigs (anymore). I love to play my instruments at night when all is quiet and everyone’s off to bed. That’s when inspiration kicks in. I just hope that large Montage M8x doesn’t have a fan but uses its huge metal enclosure for passive cooling. That’s when I’ll get it.

Don’t know yet. For now, only someone with a Montage M7 posted about hearing a fan underneath the keys. But I’m more concerned about dust, so I would love to know if any of the Montage M model’s doesn’t have a fan. Then I would reconsider.

Fan blew my GAS away.

Hope you get one soon to review.

Hey, I like my new i3.

Thanks. One more question if I may. Is the M8X surface on the right totally flat? Thinking of putting an iPad or Apogee Duet3 up there.

Please tell us more about the action. Lighter? Heavier? Aftertouchy?

It’s called M to be on top of the Montage M.

Okay, Montage M I here I come. But please be white.

So there was a mention by SudClaviers that both the Genos 2 and Kronos 3 would launch in November. Any more news on the latter?

€1200 in France, first sighting so may go lower.
