3:48 Love that snapple cap rimshot! It's a lot cleaner than the Mini Pops or CR-78 rimshot. I love the look of the thing with that big knob like it's an '80s microwave or washing machine or something. And I love those '70s cash register buttons kinda like the start/stop and tap buttons on the 808. But I don't really wanna mod the hell out of one just to sync with things. I'd rather just use the CR-78 kit on my TR-6S or Orbit 3 ROM. But there are a few things it could work really well with, like a KO2 or a Volca - but not the 1st gen Volcas that can't be set to 4 ppqn. A Volca Nubass would work. I just don't think it's awesome enough to make it the master clock of a setup. But the real reason I don't have one is that every time I see one under $300 it's beat to hell. 😂

How much 1k?😮

great video

how can i buy your patches fam ??

Great video

Unbelievable history. Today we can pay 5000$ for the top piece of instrument. Just in today days we getting this almost free instruments for the big history

ENVELOPES. GIVE ME ENVOLOPES. pretty please with a cherry on top?

do you (or anybody) have a written ref for this rtype of analysing fm? this technique of naming what operators do in an algorythme is really interesting, i feel like this might be comming from some document (yam's dx book maybe? i have regen and a dx 27. the dx is a 4op, and regen doesnt use the same type of configuration, allthough imo there isnt any type of sound a dx can do that a synclavier couldnt, reverse isnt true, but that's because of other synthesis types available... very intersting the way you explain this, please give ius a link toi the book if there is one...

Do you have your patches from Patreon available anywhere? The links aren't working anymore :)

That two knobs up left didn´t exited in 86....makes the instrument even more interesting...

The song the finest by the SOS BAND. Is that a TR. 808 or Linn. Drum. Could someone listen to that song and tell me what that cowbell sound

I tried this but in the triangle wave, with Dexed, the 1:2 ratio just creates a square wave. 1:1 did create a triangle. Not sure what's up with that.

Very interesting to see that both revisions have a SCREW above the VCA diagram. I'm sure you opened both synths to verify that indeed they are as you say. I know it is impossible to determine which filter each synth comes with unless you take an inside look. Great vid !!! THANKS :)

That was my very 1st Synth. 1980something

The Polys had a bit of a bad rep as a kind of thin sounding cheap keyboard. The problem wasn't the device imho, it was just the crappy patches. I spent a *lot* of time reprograming mine, and had a bunch of seriously fat sounding things that I used *extensively* in my band. I'd also couple it with some guitar pedals , a chorus (its own chorus was terrible) and an overdrive pedal for some gritty bite. If i'm brutally honest, it wasnt a great synth, but with a bit of creativity , it was more than capable of being a useful rock and roll synth. Apparently these are popular targets for circuit benders and modders due to the cheapness you can find them second hand, and some of the mods turn them into actually great synths. I think I might even have mine sitting in my dads shed somewhere. I should ask the old boy if he could find it for me next time I visit.

Wonderful video, but where is Part 2 ??

Major boast "This is the BEST video on..." is validated by the clear and concise advice 1.) Treat the carrier ADSR as AMP ADSR, separating the modulators as overtone generators and 2.) something I'd never heard before but: after your ADSR values are set, focus on the decay rates for most sound design. Those two bits of advice make SO MUCH sense after having struggled for so long to get the sounds I want out of FM synths... and yes, they only make sense if they follow the Yamaha envelope model (decay rates don't exist on the opsix for example.)

What does the detune do? In terms of actual frequency

The Yamaha gs-1 and gs2 have very warm sounding fm sounds

Hello madFame, I'm looking for how the bomb drop sound was made with Syndrum in the song You drop a bomb on me by the gap band, can you help me? Thanks a lot

Love your series on the dx!

Great video. Can hear echo’s of rose royce: is it love your after & anita ward’s : ring my bell plus endless disco classics 🎶

This channel is awesome dude, thanks for all your hard work putting all these videos together!

I know a person who was on sound development of some of the stock patches that launched with the DX-7. Some of the most infamous sounds he developed was the bass sound used in Danger Zone. When he was brought in to demo early units, he absolutely hated the stock bass sounds, so he reworked them. He now has a propensity to hoard DX7's he has about 50 units, about 30 are funtioning with some variation of maintenance required, so he won't sell them unless they all are functioning.

FM is so jargon heavy, but you make it as easy to follow was is humanly possible! Your patches are easily THE best I've ever heard too, amazing stuff!

Sounds so good!! Does anybody know what chord progression he is playing in the intro?

Programming analog is so easy, programming FM requires you to have all the intricacies in your head... but that's why I love it, it's a great challenge!

Thanks for these tips! These 7 year old videos have been most helpful in grasping these concepts.

It sounds very Prophet VS- ish IMO.

I'm gonna show you the Bass-ics!

Another fresh, amazing sounding patch!

A VERY convincing emulation- reminds me of Steely Dan's song Do it again, which used a real Wurli.

Wow, this has a really unusual and interesting texture. All your patches are really excellent by the way!

This series is gold. I consider myself an experienced FM programmer, but you surely bring even more goods!

Thanks so much for making this video. I worked for Yamaha as a Sales rep for the Digital music division and found out so much detail I was not aware of

Beware the 6v power adapter is negative 0v 'tip' with 'positive' +6v ring !

Once again i followed the steps exactly.. my DX7 sounds completely different to the video. What could be wrong with my DX7

I followed the directions exactly. My keyboard wouldnt let me select 1.1 but it shouldnt make that much of a different. but yet i did follow the steps exactly and copying them over but nothing is happening.

I've been getting into FM synths lately, and man it's complicated XD. Your videos have helped me a lot, seriously thank you <3

I think this is the third time (or even fourth) I using this video for programming solid bass. This time I will do in dexed and later send it to tx7. So, thank you very much for super useful tutorials! I've done others aswell 😀 thanks!

Hey Mad Fame! I just got into FM synthesis by discovering a DX7 emulator VST called Dexed (maybe I will own a real DX7 someday). Even though the software interface is very different (and intimidating), your videos are really helping me understand how to navigate the basic principles even without a real DX7 to play with! Thank you for doing such a great job, and for opening doors for so many people!

Hi, thanks for this.

hey man, just wanted to say thank you for all your dx7 patch vids. I recently picked up a sonicware xfm and alot of them translate well. Am really curious about the operator lfo trick. It seems like (on the xfm at least) it makes more sense if the "lfo" is the modulator rather than the carrier. then increasing the level of the modulator increases the depth of the lfo effect. When the carrier operates as the lfo, you can't increase depth without increasing volume. Is that just a hardware quirk between the 2 devices? Btw, you should reach out to soniceware and mention this post. They may add you to their subscribed channels and increase your views from xfm users.

Do you have any dx7 banks for sale? Im too lazy to do this it sounds amazing!

Trying to copy this on a kodamo essencefm mk2 i can make the dx7 algorithms but the parameter values are different. Hauntingly beautiful sound.

I was trying to copy ym2612 fm patches to my kodamo essencefm mk2. i couldn't wrap my head around it the modulator volumes distiort easily.

Fantastic research! 👏

Vă mulțumim pentru tot . Multa sănătate .

I need to buy a second EX800 for parts, or figure out some way to 3d print some missing buttons.
