Explains the Part parameters, effect types, effect parameters, and MIDI messages that are used for synthesizers incorporating the Yamaha AWM2 and FM-X tone generators. Read the Owner’s Manual and Reference Manual first and then use this parameter manual, if necessary, to learn more about parameters and terms that relate to Yamaha synthesizers.
Page 3: Functional Blocks
This instrument is equipped with an AWM2 tone generator block. AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis system based on sampled waves (sound material), and is used in many Yamaha synthesizers. For extra realism, each AWM2 Voice uses multiple samples of a real instrument’s waveform.
Page 4: Tone Generator Block
Basic Structure FM-X Functional blocks This synthesizer also features an FM-X tone generator, in addition to the AWM2 block. The Tone Generator block abbreviation “FM” of FM-X stands for “frequency modulation,” which is a special tone generation A/D Input block system that uses the frequency of one waveform to modulate another waveform, in order to produce a completely new one.

Page 6: Expanded Articulation
Basic Structure Expanded Articulation (XA) Functional blocks Tone Generator block Expanded Articulation (XA) is a tone generation system that provides greater performance flexibility and acoustic realism. This feature allows you to more effectively recreate realistic sound and natural A/D Input block performance techniques—such as legato and staccato—and provides other unique modes for random Sequencer block and alternate sound changes as you play.

Page 8 Basic Structure Elements, Drum Keys and Operators Functional blocks Tone Generator block Elements/Drum Keys/Operators are the smallest “building blocks” in the MONTAGE that comprise a Part. A/D Input block These small sound units can be built, enhanced and processed by a variety of traditional synthesizer parameters, such as Pitch EG, Filter EG, Amplitude EG, and LFO (shown below).

Page 10: A/D Input Block
Basic Structure A/D Input Block Functional blocks This block handles the audio signal input from the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks. Various parameters Tone Generator block such as volume, pan, and effect can be set for the audio signal and the sound is output together with other Parts.
Page 11: Arpeggio Block
This block lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases by simply pressing a note or notes Tone Generator block on the keyboard. Yamaha’s Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords you play, giving you a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and A/D Input block performing.

Page 15: Arpeggio Playback Types
Basic Structure Arpeggio playback types Functional blocks There are three main Arpeggio playback types as described below. Tone Generator block A/D Input block Sequencer block Arpeggios for Normal Parts Arpeggio block Arpeggio types (belonging to all categories except for Drum/Perc and a part of Control/HybridSeq) Motion Sequencer block created for use of Normal Parts have the following three playback types.

Page 20: Envelope Follower Block
Basic Structure Envelope Follower Block Functional blocks Envelope Follower is a function for detecting the envelope of the input signal waveform and modifying Tone Generator block sounds dynamically. This function allows you to control not only Part outputs but also input signals from external devices connected to the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks.
Page 21: Controller Block
Basic Structure Controller Block Functional blocks This block consists of the keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, Ribbon Controller, Knobs, Sliders Tone Generator block and so on. The keyboard itself doesn’t generate sounds, but instead generates/transmits note on/off, velocity and other information (MIDI messages) to the synthesizer’s tone generator block when you play A/D Input block notes.
