Meet Jay Esplana, a multi-instrumentalist, piano technician and musical director from Vancouver, Canada.

Jay talks about the moments that make performing on stage special, his approach to exploring a new instrument, the sounds he naturally reaches for and even the time he had to improvise a sustain pedal during a gig.

He also shares his experience moving between MODX M and Montage M, and how the two fit into his musical workflow. From ESP on MODX M to aftertouch and Keyboard Hold on Montage M, Jay explains some of the features that stand out to him and why expression is so important to the way he plays.

With its AWM2, FM-X and AN-X sound engines, extensive real-time controls and expressive FSX keyboard, Montage M7 gives players a wide range of ways to shape and interact with their sound.

Get to know Jay and his approach to music, performance and Yamaha synthesizers.
