JDM may be a nice guy but he is clearly pushing for youtube feeds/followers with shorts and made up “controversies” to feed the same. I get it, but…

This is completely wrong.  I made a short to make a short.  This is not made up.  It really happened as shown in the video.   It's not a controversy either.  I only posted it because I thought it was kinda cool and I hadn't ever seen it happen before.  The only reason it became an issue or a "controversy" as you call it was because people couldn't get it to replicate on their keyboard and others had no idea what was going on either.  

 

Then to add on top of that... I called Yamaha support and their tech support agent, had no idea that the keyboard did it.  He had to get off the phone with me and email higher tier support to get an answer.  ....

 

I have nothing to gain by posting a single short on YouTube... And then posting it here as a reference when asking a question.  

 

You should think through your comments more before you make such silly remarks.  It's not fair to the person you are judging and it can cause people to misjudge you as a decision maker.  And that's not fair to you... since I'm sure you are a nice guy😉

CONFIRMED!!!! Wtf!!!   I’m on Jazz Cruise Mixing monitors.  Michael MacDonald is playing in it and Leslie Mendelson as well.  During her set, she alternates between Accoustic Guitar & the Montage.  Despite turning it on top-of-show, by the time she switches to it, it powers itself off!!!!!   Screw that!!! Boned us twice!!!  Thought we were going crazy  because everyone said they didn’t touch it.  
 

OP is 100% correct!  It PHYSICALLY turns its switch off!   I mean I’m sure there’s a setting to disable, about to search the manual, but Backline guys and artists are scratching their heads and people were about to be in trouble.  Crazy experience,  terrible feature.  Glad I found this forum!   
 

good luck & watch out for this!!!!
