 Welcome to Deep-X, a FM-X Sound Set for your Yamaha Montage.

To use it, just load the .X7L Library file from a USB device, and you will find the performances into the « Category
Search » section, using the « Bank/Favorite » area -> Deep-X.
Your Montage need at least the Firmware Version 2.00.3.

There is an Audition available for each performances. To be sure to ear it properly, hit the « Audition » button just after
selecting a performance. (or re-select it if you've made any real time modification.)

Many performances have different settings stored in the « Scenes », so feel free to test them ! It could be a slight, or a
drastic change into the sound.

The idea behind this sound set, is to make the FM-X engine sound in another way than the « classic » FM sound, by using
the combination of FM, filters and effects.

Hope you will have fun with Deep-X !
