PLG150 Series = discount Montage?
Just found out about the PLG150 expansion cards for the Yamaha Motif (and other compatible units) which includes a card that emulates the DX7. So you end up with a sampler workstation with an FM engine on-board... sounds a lot like the Montage to me. There are still going to be major differences of course like DAW integration, polyphony, and effects but still... don't imagine the Montage leaves a lot to be desired if you already have that setup.

An old Motif with an FM card is still pretty far from a Montage (or a Kronos). Much smaller wave set, no touchscreen, no seamless sound transitions, to name a few things. Which isn't to say that it wasn't a good sounding board.CharlesFerraro wrote:don't imagine the Montage leaves a lot to be desired if you already have that setup.
BTW, you could get the Yamaha FM expansion card in a self-contained unit, the DX200, and add it to any board you'd like.
