It's alive 😮 🔥 subscribed ✨️

Nice sunday training for me.

Brilliant!

TMNのラストライブ初日の 一発目の音ね。

Beautiful and meditative sonic journey, thank you for sharing! I love the chord progression and melody ❤❤

Wonderful jam.

👍🏻🖤FM🔊🎶

Grand Work Manny! :D

what a fab jam! Love how you built it up and of course it sounds fantastic 💜💜👍👍

so original, i dig the layering with the ocean waves and the flute-y synths 👏 love the bassy digeridoo 🔥

Love it. Nicely done

I was having dinner while you live streamed this, otherwise I would have gladly joined the live chat. I remain utterly amazed at how capable and deep the SY series of FM synths are. I had no idea that any of this could be done on the SYs (because I've never owned one, and if anyone in the UK wants to bring one to my door, leave a comment. I'll put the kettle on and supply the chocolate biscuits. LOL). Granted, 30+ years ago I was borrowing a friend's 4-op V50, which I don't believe had this sort of intricate level of programming. But maybe it did and I missed it. I remember being truly mystified by the whole FM thing at the time. Didn't have internet access or videos and had to rely on trips to an actual library or magazine articles, mostly, and those tended to be simple "do this for this patch sound" articles -- patch programming how-to guides of that era. As for the Modwave, it is indeed sad that we can't do FM on the samples, and I really wish we could. I also have an Opsix, and I love that, yet agree with you that the lack of phase offsets is sorely missed -- not the end of the world though and the control surface is a stroke of genius. We can phase offset the wavetables in the Modwave though, and use a wavetable as a source input for for the FM oscillator (very, very cool!). However, the Modwave seems to convert the FM osc to a sine wave first when morphing/increasing the FM depth, so it's a wee bit limited in that regard. Can still get some wild craziness regardless. Anyway, this stream was superb, Manny. Much learned and thank you so much!

As said, "RCM puts FM to another level". After 30 years walking in the dark, it is remarkably interesting to learn the background of Yamaha's failed attempt to come up with something different. Possibly you also have the answer to the mystery about how the Harmonic Enhancer in the VL1 is working? I always assumed this as some kind of RCM as well.

Juicy!

Nice one, Manny! This doesn’t help my GAS

Sounds great! Looking forward to picking up the 259t 🙂

Made in China! Not a real Moog.

Never throw away your ties. 🎯

*drooool* I'm almost completely deaf, but I can totally FEEL the pure, simple WAVES [on tiny plastic computer speakers, no less]. I rest my hands on the speakers [bone conduction] and see the sine, sawtooth, square, triangle waves in my positronic brain. KRAFTWERK Cymatics! Now play the 5 notes.. CE3K flashback.. I like the harmonic resonant tones.. Nice vibes!

chewy chewy strings. bravo! Any plans to cover RCM? cheers Rich

Very cool, thanks for doing this!

Thank you for doing these types of explorations into the powerhouse SY77/99. Year after year it unlocks more and more potential than almost any other synth of its era. The SY and K2x’s VAST are desert island synths and for early 90s the folks behind the scenes were geniuses to design such robust creations.

Listened on playback, SO SORRY for the audio. Thankfully the demonstration of the intended sonic results still come across. Still looking into what TH-cam settings borked it, used the same OBS Studio audio settings from when I join PSN and Pub via Chrome 🤷‍♂ **uploaded video with the stereo edits here: th-cam.com/video/cyK-GIQLmY0/w-d-xo.html **

...I've got my sy99 plumbed in now...look forward to having a play with phase

Thanks for everyone who joined in; I'll suss out the audio quality & stereo issue for next time !

More or less the same on a tg77?

Question: If I understand correctly a saw tooth is generated by starting with a sine wave and introducing self modulation, yes? But it seems that you are saying the output level also affects the amount of self modulation?? So the output needs to be relatively high to turn the sine into a saw? Am I understanding correctly? If so, then how do you create a *quiet* saw wave? e.g. Suppose you wanted to envelope the output of a saw wave, so that it started loud but got quieter, but stayed a saw wave throughout. How would you do that?

awesome jam! 🔥🔥🔥

Brilliant jam and nice synths 🙂

Very nice synthesizer. The problem is that the Juno-X is now getting discounted, so for an extra $500 one can get a 256-voice polyphony Juno-X as opposed to 32-voice UB-Xa. Note: I am counting each oscillator as a voice. You know, like the D-50 is a 32-oscillator synthesizer with 16-notes of polyphony. Exactly the same as the UB-Xa.

Super nice variety of timbres! Full-FM tracks are often hard on the ears, especially with headphones. I don't know if you mastered it so as to mitigate the high-frequency content, but the result is incredible.

good to put a name to a face. shiny jam

this is superb - such a treat for the ears!

Love the sounds of course!! Fantastic fun ❤

Definite drive jam!! Nice work Dr. Synth

HWJ livestream brought me here - so cool seeing a muse and poly 12 vibing together!

Great jam buddy

Don’t force me to require a PB12 now! Not fair.

Thank you so much for bringin the AX80 to the party. That Tauntek firmware update gives it full midi implementation. Best to buy it through their website. With some Midi faders, it becomes a massive poly synth. Motorized faders make’s it even better! Thank you for sharing🌊✨🌊

Dr.- wow. gorgeous . atch you later- )

This is cool. Certainly fulfils the brief. Loving the sounds of the lead synths.

🔮🛸not bad

As a somewhat beginner to programming synth, this really opens my mind as to the process behind why some of the reasons the hailed synths of the past sounded so good & rich. Im assuming the world of vst synths in a DAW offer many practical work arounds to achieve a similar final result despite limitations in a lone vst vs this well constructed keyboard. Im also sure it wont sound as rich in the end w/o adding other percs to compete with the hardware of a real quality keyboard like this. Im going to watch the deep dive video & rewatch this video dozens of times but is there a way to simplify & summarize what you just did to help beginners like me understand a bit further? To sum up what i understand: you added sprinkles of modulation to the pitch & time of the operators to create a thicker saw tooth via phase offset, then you created a fake reverb copy w/ different parameters, then you turned them into stereo duplicates & panned them musically w/ additional minor phase offset to help them add to each other rather than cancel via phase issues(similar to how chorus fx works). Is that the jist of it? Is there something in particular else you could add to my understanding of what I just saw you do? Is it in particular important as to what is triggering the pitch modulation because from what i remember seeing in other tutorials for other synths, you can link it to so many other things that trigger it? Am I using these terms right? Ive literally never done any of this before but have a grasp via years of mixing my demos in a DAW learning how sound design works. Thanks, any tips from anybody is welcome.

ehh. Nothing mind blowing.

Sounds nice!

wow this is awesome, and what a sound. i've made a bunch of patches on the SY77 using some of these AFM tricks but never even considered piping AFM waveforms through the AWM side. there is an extra layer of satisfaction making a lush patch with the 'effects off' notification.

Another great Lesson in SYnth programming, in sound designing. Thanks to D.r SYnth😊!!

Sounds killer. If I didn’t already have a Prophet 6 and 3rd Wave I’d totally scoop up the Muse

Hmmm... Is it 1983 today to make EP patches on an analogue synth ? What for ?

Hey Dr. Synth, great Demo - what a MONSTER 👾👾👾
