Montesanti Redefines Montage M with AnXtra

Manuele Montesanti Unveils AnXtra: A New Creative Frontier for Yamaha Montage M / MODX M

After months of research, experimentation, and careful programming, sound designer and keyboardist Manuele Montesanti presents AnXtra—a brand-new collection of sounds crafted to fully exploit the potential of the Yamaha Montage M / MODX M.

The release is divided into three distinct products: AnXtra Pulse, AnXtra Sound Bank, and the all-in-one AnXtra Bundle. Each set was designed to inspire musicians, spark creativity, and offer professional, ready-to-use tools for producers, performers, and live players.

A Sound Collection Born from the ESP Plug-in Engine

With the introduction of Yamaha’s new ESP (Extended Softsynth Plugin) engine, a fresh world of sound design possibilities has emerged. AnXtra was built precisely on this foundation: a versatile and expressive library shaped by Montesanti’s musical sensitivity and long-standing experience.

The result is a collection that merges technical precision with artistic taste—a synthesis that highlights once again his ability to unite innovation with musical intuition.

A Project Built on Real Experience

The idea behind AnXtra is rooted in Montesanti’s extensive work with professional synthesizers. After years spent designing presets for top-tier instruments, he wanted to offer a collection that is not only inspiring but also highly functional from the very first note.

Every sound was programmed manually, with meticulous attention to parameters, envelopes, effects, and dynamic controls.
The result is a library that feels polished, expressive, and immediately usable—whether in the studio or on stage.
