Thanks 4 the Release been waiting 4 something like this since i sold my MotifXS8.

Does anbody know if Sounds of the Motif Series are already included in the Montage Factory Lib?

If not it would be cool if somebody who owns an Yamaha XF could share the Factory Lib to Import it

I don't get it that there is something available like the JUCE Framework which isn't supporting multithreading in 2024.
The other Question is why are big Companies using such Crap for their Plugins which Limits your CPU to one Core.
I Bet they think if you have had 3700 € for the Hardware you will also have an PC that costs that much.

Yamaha says Montage hardware is fully compatible with Motif XF, i tried many Motif XF libraries with this VSTI and all of them working fine but i cant talk about Motif XF's factory patches cause i never played that keyboard.

There is generally two way of making VSTI, programming from scratch with C++ or other languages with Steinberg SDK or using JUCE, HISE kind frameworks. C++ is not easy for everyone and JUCE is easier thats why most of known plugins made with JUCE. Developers knows their plugins will fail on older PC's cause of single core but most of them not talented and cant make multicore supported VSTI. Example u-he VSTI's supports multicore cause Urs Heckmann using his own framework.

I did some research and all the Wavetables and so on from the XF are included in the Montage M.

How is it a resource disaster? It only takes 2.9% to run two instances of Cthulhu and two instances of Montage, playing five to six note chords on each instance of Montage, on a Ryzen 9 3950X.
There is an excellent test video of it here:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9qxzBPOhck&pp=ygULTW9udGFnZSBlc3A%3D
easily goes past 64 instances and has to use 128 instances to get audio breakup! How is that a resource disaster?

your experience is different. so is youe system and workflow. most people here have complained of high cpu usage. i guess you are the lucky one here. Please understand other people's experience.
  Member 9.02.2021 449

Not every patches/performances using less CPU. Ryzen 9 3950X have 16 cores and 1 instance of this plugin cant use more than 1 core, 15 of cores trash for this plugin thats why it is resource disaster. When you load 16 or more instances that time it can use full power of your CPU cause of multithreading supported DAW/host software.

There is something special about V.R, as they did with Nexus & Avenger, they bypass the softwares that are acually make the most for me, when I come home from my shitty day, they got my back with the plugins that cheer me up and make me happier, my life looks better with this release (yes it that much)

Thank you V.R, I much appreciate this and your previous releases... making the impossible

I was thinking about buying a montage now I won't. I'm sure they will fix the cpu in later updates. When this available for sale I'm buying this legit software as it sounds great. I feel I can get rid of halion now for this. I'm buying some libraries tomorrow.
  Member 14.11.2023 60

I don't think they will offer it standalone, unbundled from buying the hardware.
Yamaha opted for the agency distribution model for selling the hardware, to keep the price high.
  Member 13.10.2014 230

It's a lot less work selling software, than hardware, Yamaha are crazy for not releasing their synths as VSTs. You can sell thousands of units with ZERO effort, just set up your webshop and it does everything. With hardware, you have to pay for manufacturing, it costs a lot. With software, if you sell one unit today, and a hundred units tomorrow, you don't actually DO anything to supply the software, the server does it all, for a few cents.

First they would need the return of investment into the hardware before selling it as software only.
But till then everybody has pirated the software already.

It would be interesting how Korg is doing on selling the hardware and the plugin in parallel.

No, they don't need the return on investment on the hardware before selling the software, people will still buy the hardware...

There aren't any CPU issues. Only one person with an ancient CPU expecting miracles from modern VSTs...

Your logic is amazing, if its working fine for you it must work fine for everyone :D, is that why even post author typed its CPU heavy.

Hi to everyone, this a very special gift indeed. The sounds are absolutely professional and the samples library size is only 7 gbytes. I have Cubase 14 with R2R emulator and Montage ESP works fine (other users have already explained that you must copy "license-engine-access.dll" from "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\TEAM R2R" to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\Activation Manager" and if you don't have that directory you create it). I have an old Ryzen 5 2600x but is possible to have 1 or 2 instances of ESP, tweaking buffer size. In the Yamaha USA Shop website there are several sound libraries free to download. Thanks to everyone involved in this.

I was just about asked this. Thank for the info. I guess any VR releases Steinberg related will work with the silkemu.

Does this work with a legit cubase?

I am also curios to know if someone can shed some light, I have legit Cubase and Wavelab. Being green, don't want to download 7GB of data for nothing.

If you are here you should know how it works. Try it for yourself.

Even if you are a legit user, you will have to install the VR Unlocker, or the R2R Silk Emulator.

1. If ever you wanna use the R2R solution instead of the VR one, you'll have first to make a backup copy of this file:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\Activation Manager\license-engine-access.dll"

2. Then install "R2R Silk Emulator" + "R2R Root Certificate" if it's not already made (read carefully the R2R.txt included, important!).

3. Then install the product. If you choose this way, don't install the VR Unlocker, these 2 hacking solutions are incompatible with each other, so you'll have to choose: R2R or VR, never both at the same time on the same computer!

4. Now copy this dll:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\TEAM R2R\license-engine-access.dll"

into: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\Activation Manager"

Replacing or deleting the one that's already there (you do have a backup of this dll, right?)

If ever one day you wanna register a new Stbrg official / legit license with Activation Manager (or anything else implying Activation Manager), first you'll have to do this:

Replace "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\Activation Manager\license-engine-access.dll" with the one you have backuped earlier (note: always copy your backup, don't move it!).

Once you finished everything "official" (including for example the use of Download Assistant, or any legit app which "phones home"), you'll have to perform again the operation described in point 4. If you don't, you will not be able to use the plugin again.

Hope it helps.
I'm alive!!! :D Isn't it astounding??? ;)
