Concerto in Synclavier II 

Super Cool !

A professional orchestra player and classical music expert informs that these three pieces of music are masterful, which is one of the many reasons he thinks they were almost all certainly composed by J. S. Bach. The first song is using a harpsichord using synthesis that is most accurate in the upper range of the instrument and as the pitches go down, the sound deviates more and more from an actual harpsichord's sound, probably due to the fact that the waveforms change throughout the range of the instrument, a problem that could be solved with multisampling or having a little different wave shape for every note you synthesize, which is beyond the capability of the 1980-1984 Synclavier II but the 1984-1992 Synclavier can do that with polyphonic sampling, it's completely multitimbral and the number of samples that can be active on the keyboard at one time is limited only by RAM. The other two songs have a pipe organ sound with similarity to the "stops" on certain organs. Stops are groupings of which pipes are allowed to sound on the organ, and a big organ will have many, many to choose from. A pipe organ itself has typically a combination of pipes that are open on one or two ends, and these two types of pipes have really quite different looking (and sounding) waveforms.

So the Synclavier is just a 2 operator FM-synth? Why not by a cheap Yamaha PSS keyboard instead? 😁
