Time for Yamaha to come up with a standard full size key 4 or 5 octave CS Analog Synth with patch memory , they can easily do it, I don’t know why they refuse to do something new like that, they’ve done a great job on their Rompler/FM stuff time to go back in time so they have a varied line up.
This is a good one for those layering sounds, fm and sample sounds, added with extra modulation and the works, probably can route many things to many places, like ones sees all the cords on an analog set up
most quality synths today are "backwards compatible", in concept, in the sense that they often have emulations of classic sounds of older synths: I have so many FM sounds, Oberheim, Moog, etc. on my gear, as the very best classical sounds will always have a place in our hearts, ESPECIALLY for people like me who were on board with the synth revolution in the 80s. Look at all the Rhodes emulations on any quality modern keyboard, as another example....the classics were CLASSICS for a reason, they had a unique sound that , at the time, was revolutionary.
You can get a used SY 77 (or 99) and likely accomplish what you are looking for, for a 10th the cost. Add on a 2 or 4 pole filter, and something like a Bigsky reverb and you'll have an incredible, and beautiful synth that will sound astoundingly modern to a lot of people.
That is incredibly great idea. Yamaha! You listening? Frequency modulation is really its own entire world of programming. Once you become familiar with it you don't want to use anything else. Everybody I know who learned how to program FM prefer to use it for everything.
I own the EX5, Fantastic machine, never have i heard a warmer sounding Workstation. I also own the SY77, but i kinda ment the SY99 as well, i personally think the Upgrade to the SY99 is minimal and its very Heavy. I think for what the SY synths does, the Lighter SY77 does it for me.
Somedays my EX5R trumps the '99 but if I was offered the 'desert island' only synth [assuming solar power available on that haven :) .... ], it'd be the '99. Got a '77 and 3x '99's now(!) plus the classic mini-"blue beast". Swapped out the 'board for the rack as like many synth-heads running out of space in the studio, cheers for your reply - enjoy the EX!
@@theaudioeng Now i also own a An1x which sounds bloody brilliant! My desert synth is the EX5, i have plenty of sound demos of it on my channel. My father of the Tg77, the SY77 and SY99, i own a SY77 and soon also a Montage.
nothing beats a dynamic velocity-sensitive FM *clav patch* on each of the 8 modules of a TX-816, panned +slightly detuned in stereo. Heaven on earth! Is Montage capable of creating similar tones?
Is the FM convertor a stand-alone software app or online/internet thing? Possible to layer 8 independant DX7 tones in multi-mode or whatever, without polyphony loss?
If you could use the waveforms as carrier and modulator in the FM-X synth, heaven would open. Any way it's just math. I think that Casio CZ synths did that, modulated waveforms.
Yamaha also did that in the SY99 and SY77, at least the waveforms could be modulators (but not carriers I believe). They called it RCM (Realtime Convolution and Modulation). It didn't really took off however as far as I remember. Maybe sometimes the possibilities sound better in theory than the actual results do ;)
I think Yamaha are afraid to put more user memory because in such case they won't sell future products . That's why they expand only the factory library space of new products and the user memory remains limited to 1gb since Motif ES that was released in 2003 . What a tricky conspiracy to rip our money . 16 years have passed and they don't want the user to have more memory So they avoid putting 2 ram slots (user option if he want to buy 32gb of ram or flash or not over the 1gb of factory flash) and instead they promote their new products saying that the factory sample memory was expanded from 700mb to 5 GB...etc etc . So they always maintain user memory as low as possible because they promote their new products using the factory sample memory size as marketing tactic . This way some users will buy the new flagships because they are tired of the factory sounds and only 1gb of flash user memory is a joke ...marketing tactics folks . Is not practical to load erase and reload sound banks by staying limited in 1gb....I have 50 Motif XS sound banks . But I can load only 3 or 4 and if I want to load a new one I need to erase the ones that are stored so you can have 100 banks but will be a pain to load reload for different projects ..
Augusto, beh in realtà dentro montage c’è tutto motif XF e anche molta altra roba.. rispetto a motif ce ne passa tantissimo invece.. ;) provatela bene!
