Montage owners are in for a treat thanks to Yamaha as the company recently announced the release of the Chick Corea Mark V Sample & Performance Library for this synthesizer. Included in this epic library is 16 brand new Performances, all of which were created using the data that was sampled directly from the customized Mark V electric piano played by Chick Corea.

In terms of audio, there is almost nothing that can’t be done with a synthesizer. The ability to manipulate electricity by a machine and turn it into sound has been a revolution for the music industry. However, there are also a couple of things that simply shouldn’t be done to a synth - especially not a vintage one. As incredible as they are, synthesizers are very vulnerable to mishaps, whether through accidents or ignorance.
