This is the first song with the Boehm Dynamic 4x9. It's a German FM-synthesizer from mid-80s that were only available as DIY project. It uses 12(!) Yamaha ICs of the type YM2203, which were commonly used in home computers from NEC as well as in arcade games until the early 90s. Each of the ICs has 3 FM-voices for an overall 36 voices 4-part polyphony.
I used for the recording the following FX for the song:
Sony DPS-V77 (for chorus only), Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated.
The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track.
Well, I decided to go back to the basics, but at the same time make something useful for the synth community and do a kind of competition (I like competitions;-). What's my best synth for ambient music :-)

In the mid-1980's I wrote a SYSEX-Editor for the 4x9 Expander to be run on ATARI ST. Worked really well 🙂

Cool! There is also a hardware controller available for the 4x9 from Stereoping

I got a Böhm Dynamic 12/24 some weeks ago and it became my favourite synth in my setup.

I need to fix mine... got the fully expanded (24 voices) from eBay, but currently it doesn't produce any sound.

@@TMSBRANDA I'll have to open it up and check. Currently, it serves as the base of a 12" rack because of its sheer size: the rack is just the rails for now. It receives MIDI commands and can change programs; it's just that I haven't yet been able to get sound out, mostly because I don't have enough time to dedicate to it. As for the power supply, I think I'd better look into replacing it, because the heat sinks become very hot, and it currently does not have a ground pin. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take them to heart.

@@SeverityOne probably not necessary to replace the power supply. at first, check IC184 and IC185 parts, also measure the orange tantalium condensators (all of them) and measure the two big ELKOs. change them if its needed. if there is no sound, primarly these could be problematic. I repaired mine and some others by following these instructions I found in a forum entry.

@@scabatoth Thanks! I'll try checking all internals first (could be another loose cable) and then measure like you described. I'd still want to change the PSU, because (a) it gets very hot and (b) there is no ground pin, which is a bit scary. Obviously, I could go and connect ground to the chassis, but I'm not enough of an electrical engineer to know whether that would be enough.

What a great discover, never heard from this instrument before. Beautiful composition. Many thanks for sharing!.

Many thanks for your comment:-) Yes, it's not a well known synth in the synthesizer world, because it was just available as a construction kit for organ player and entertainment keyboarder as target customers, with Germany as the main market.

Anyone has an Editor for the Böhm Dynamic Expander 12/24? (DOS, Windows 95/98/Xp or even Atari version is interested) Thank you.

I have the other one, the 12/24, just now. Is this in any (or many) ways different?
@christianssonicspaces494
@christianssonicspaces494 Год назад
I think both using the same 4-OP FM chips from Yamaha. They should therefore sound very similar. The 4 x 9 was the later model with higher polyphony and 4-times multitimbrality, which can be easily layered to form even more complex sounds
