Re: FS1r, SY77, EX-5?


 

Hi,

I own assorted Yamaha equipment, but the SY-22 that I have just retrieved has about the worst factory-installed sounds I know of. The only thing astonishing is the quality of the fake piano, but then I have a sampled one sounding better somewhere else - does anybody know what the difference between the SY22 and the bigger models is, and what anybody used them for?

Of course not. In fact, I greatly appreciate open communication--this facilitates people
arriving at the truth. Apparently, you know a bit more about this than me, so it's important
that you clarify and correct the things I'm not clear on.

Yep 35 and you also can define 5 addional ones ones including feedback for
every op..
As far as I know and see in Sounddiver, it has 16 waveforms per Operator and
can use a sample and a noise oscillator as additional operators...
Okay, so I'm gathering that the 2 most powerful FM synths ever made are the FS1r and the
SY-77/99? They each can make lots of sounds the other can't, but each are (for the most part)
patch compatible with DX7 6-op? Am I right.

Your making me think I need to buy an SY77? What's the keyboard action like on the SY-77/99? Or
would I be better off with a TG77? What does the PCM section sound like, and how does this
interact with the FM synthesis?

Does the Yamaha EX-5/7 have FM, and if so, how good is it?

Anyone with experience with these synths, or other FM synths, I'd love to hear from you about
your thoughts.

Thanks,


Shayme

p.s. Summa, are you on any other lists I'm on, or just the K5000?
