Very nice work! Clair de Lune is one of my favorites. I still think Tomita's version is one of the best. He really takes his time and plays it very subtlety, stretching the tempo. I like your "Bladerunner"-esque approach, though! :) I'm really starting to get deep into FM synthesis. It's been very e...

Yeah, I discovered that last night after my post when I went to start to re-create a couple sounds. The lack of assignable feedbacks quickly put an end to that!

Interesting side note (to me, anyway): One of the patches on the FS1R is called "Earth Lead" and must be the basis for a patch of the same name on the Motif series. I haven't had the chance to check my Motif ES rack, but I'm guessing Yamaha sampled the waveform created via FM on the FS1R for the ver...

Whenever I see those three manuals I have this same feeling again: would stage musicians (gigging everywhere) be served with a masterkeyboard or even a modern synth with two or three manuals? It'd look like an organ, but it wouldn't be one.. or would it? Dunno, grey area. Or would that be like 'ooh...

Yamaha kind of did that. I'd love to find one of these:

They did. I have one.

ATC-x. Thinking about upgrading to the ATC-xi, but keeping the orange face.

I may open a Soundcloud account. I'm not sure what to do with all these tunes I've been making lately... getting back to my synth roots, I guess.

I just purchased a FS1R from fellow forum member VanSonik. Wow. At first I was a bit underwhelmed; the pads were nice but there wasn't enough difference between my other synths, with the exception of some of the vocal formant based sounds. But then I downloaded the free editor and started assigning ...

Can we nominate this thread as the Nerdiest Thread Ever?

Very impressive for FM! Can this be done on the SY77?

Just sold my FS1r to B3groover in person. Jim is a great guy polite and showed up on time. Nice to know a nice guy got a great deal on a great synth. Hope you enjoy it. I'm sure you will. Regards, Kevin Always nice to meet someone in person! Been foolin' around with the FS1r all night. Wild synth.....

You can't really program a moogerfooger to change on a per-patch basis, can you? That's the nice thing about the onboard filter; it is programmable with it's own EG and various mod sources. The keys on the SY77 are really nice. I think it is the same action as the DX7/DX7IId. At least it feels that ...

Cool. Between the four machines, I should be able to keep one as a music computer with dual SIDS and the other as a gaming machine.

Very cool, thanks for that. Stupid question I can't seem to find the answer for: Is the MSSIAH compatible with the C128 in C64 mode?

So I just won a lot of Commodore stuff on craigslist. 2 C64s, 2 C128s, and a bunch of other stuff. My plan is to make one computer a gaming machine and one a machine for music using the MSSIAH cartridge. The two C64s are the old style and I'm assuming they have the original 6581 SID chips in them (I...
