After more than eight years as official sound designer for Yamaha, Manuele Montesanti surprises us again with an unmissable novelty: An-X-tra, his first Signature Sound Library developed for the new Montage M and its dedicated Montage ESP plug-in.
The heart of An-X: the Analog Modeling synthesis engine
The An-X-tra library is composed of 20 performance entirely programmed using the new synthesis engine An-X (Aaddiction Modeling), along with the new features introduced in the latest operating system Montage M version 2.0, such as Wave Folder, Shimmer Reverb and Motion Control Synthesis, among other innovations. Each performance is developed on a single “An-X single part”, generated exclusively by three oscillators plus a noise, evoking the classic sound design techniques “of the past”.

Distinctive Tools of the An-X-tra Library
The main features of the library An-X-tra include:
- Wave Folder: for a complex and rich harmonic distortion, perfect for sounds with a strong and punchy character.
- Shimmer Reverb: which adds an ethereal, spatial dimension, enriching the performances with depth and atmosphere.
- Motion Control Synthesis: which allows for fluid and dynamic modulations, manageable in real time thanks to the Super Knob and the assignable controllers of the Montage M.
The engine An-X combines analog modeling of oscillators, filters and amplifiers with complex modulations, making it possible to create timbres ranging from vintage sounds to modern and experimental textures. With three main oscillators and a noise generator, the library An-X-tra offers a wide range of timbral possibilities, allowing you to create new sounds directly inside the Installation, without having to load external samples.

Discover the An-X-tra sound
The new library of Manuel Montesanti is composed of 20 performance originals. You can listen An-X-tra directly on his channel YouTube. With an affordable investment, users of the Montage M will have the opportunity to explore new patches and find new creative stimuli to enrich their musical productions.
