I remember all of that! Snap, my dad had a new one back in the day. I would mess around with it, it sounded cool but, wasn’t til much later I realised how cool it is. ‘What what what what!’
I was all set for buying a DX7 back in the '80s, I had auditioned one at a Fox keyboard and piano centre and had started making arrangements to sell my analogue collection of synths, I went to the store to pay for the synth and decided to have another play around with it first, just to make sure I really wanted this synth, I asked the salesman how you edited the sounds, he didn't have a clue but brought out the manual, I started to try and edit a patch and soon got sick of all the button pressing, I didn't buy the DX7! I did buy a TX rackmount in the early '90s though. can you get and editor for the FB-01?
Dude has a Morpheus and he's like "nah I'mma stick to FB-01 presets." 🧐😂 And acting like the Proteus doesn't have portamento? This is all super sketchy. How are you trying to make west coast whistle sounds and you're using the Mo'Phatt? The whistle sound originally comes from Funky Worm by Ohio Players, which is why you see patches called 'worm' that are all whistle patches. The Planet Phatt/Mo'Phatt/XL-1 all have worm patches. Check out 78^2 FantasyWormz and 73^3 SineWorm on the Mo'phatt! And BTW, the E-mus can all 'synthesize new sounds' because they all have basic waveforms like sine/saw/square and envelopes and a crazy number of modulation options. And the Mo'Phatt has 50 filter types and the Morpheus has 197.
I regret to inform you that I'm dumb and the Proteus/1 definitely doesn't have real portamento. The Mo'Phatt/Morpheus do! I mean you can do weird fake portamento on a Proteus. I didn't figure it out. There's a patch on the Proteus/2 "066 Portamento/F" that does it. It uses keytracking to mod the pitch of every note up or down to the keyboard center, then it glides to the notes you play. So it's useless as a regular mono bass patch but it can do big cool polyphonic portamento FX stuff. You need to have the aux envelope setup: AUX ENV AMT +000 DLY 000 A: A 06 H 04 D 30 S 0 R 20 Or whatever. The attack glides to the keyboard center, and the decay glides back down to the notes you play. Sustain breaks everything. Then you add 3 keytracking mods (don't need to be line 3/4/5). They just need to add up to -344 if you want it to actually glide to/from the keyboard center. KEY/VELOCITY CTL 3 K -> AuxAmt -88 4 K -> AuxAmt -128 5 K -> AuxAmt -128 And you gotta map the aux envelope to pitch: REALTIME CTL Aux -> Pitch Then you set the keyboard center to the pitch you want the portamento to start at: KEYBOARD CENTER whatever It's great if you wanna make awful hoover-like sounds!
This is the reason why FM sounds so horrible. Such a retrograde step when Yamaha invented it as filled the airwaves with thin sounding lightweight cheesey sounds.
It's not that FM needs to sound horrible, it's that people who like horrible sounds gravitate to the worst retro video game music noise makers that happen to be FM.
FM synthesis has its place for low bass and percussion sounds. But, agreed, most FM synth sounds are cheesy and terrible. It’s all in the programming and less in the technology.
It’s not that FM sounds horrible, it’s the people that are lazy, can’t be bothered to learn how to use it since they’re so used to a computer doing everything else for them A bad workman blames his tools
did you know legos represent how useless modern toys actually are.. Lego do not follow any building construction standard to build real structures to live in for example.. they are a time wasting bunch of sharp edged plastic toy chachkies for adults , that have categorized them (for hyper marketing ) as 'collectables' .. which is a sham and a real waste of time for an adult or child alike - going back to the first point they don't teach children about construction. Something like Meccano does though. Found that out when I was 5 years old.. maybe your father wasn't around?
Old lego used to be a lot better when you could make what you bought in the box and there was a few suggestions to make other things and easy to mix up with other kits. Now every kit seems so specific with specific unique pieces and ultra themed like it’s a jigsaw more than being able to combine kits together creatively
Dude this album is sick man. Love it. Thanks. Totally love this vibe!
Loving this video. Wicked sounds dude.
i found one of these things in a dumpster years ago lmao. i use it sometimes for the chords in reggae tunes
Dope AF! Thanks for sharing about your workflow! Awesome how many funky sounds you get out of that lil box
that FB-01patch creator software for Atari is the understated doomed hero of this whimsical Tragedy imho
Talking video game sounds, the Sega Genesis used a very similar FM chip to this one
The DX100 had 4 operators (and mini keys)
hello again, DJ Pete! nice classic studio elements. Bass really good from that machine, it does have a flavor that modern FM apps don't duplicate
@@VJFranzK Hey Franz! Great to hear from you. I noticed there's a new 80s bar in Placentia, I might have to make a video of checking it out 🕺
@@djpetesake Yeah! The sound / video is incredible there. I'm hosting the Wednesdays there now, 7pm - 1
That's awesome!
dug one of these out of my dads old stuff a few years ago, rlly cool little box in spite of its limits
I got one coming in the post man. Had an eye on one for a number of years!
I remember all of that! Snap, my dad had a new one back in the day. I would mess around with it, it sounded cool but, wasn’t til much later I realised how cool it is. ‘What what what what!’
"We already got the hook"
its an amazing sound
Yo, sick setup dope sounds. Where’s the sample pack brotha

can you get and editor for the FB-01?
Think there is a editor for this, have a fb-01 and a tx81z.
Think i have editor for both, don't remember since that is some years since i used them.
Patch base has an editor for the fb-01
I actually love my Yamaha FB-1. It’s easier to edit than a DX7 and has those classic presets. Awesome for bass and early electronic piano sounds.
What song is that at 8:16? thx.
"In Transit" by DJ Petesake
@@djpetesake thx. Tought so, but must have overlooked it when browsing your bandcamp. Good vibe.
Gear head alert!
Thank you ❤

@@RaquelFoster The Proteus has portamento???

You need to have the aux envelope setup:
AUX ENV AMT +000 DLY 000
A: A 06 H 04 D 30 S 0 R 20
Or whatever. The attack glides to the keyboard center, and the decay glides back down to the notes you play. Sustain breaks everything.
Then you add 3 keytracking mods (don't need to be line 3/4/5). They just need to add up to -344 if you want it to actually glide to/from the keyboard center.
KEY/VELOCITY CTL
3 K -> AuxAmt -88
4 K -> AuxAmt -128
5 K -> AuxAmt -128
And you gotta map the aux envelope to pitch:
REALTIME CTL
Aux -> Pitch
Then you set the keyboard center to the pitch you want the portamento to start at:
KEYBOARD CENTER
whatever
It's great if you wanna make awful hoover-like sounds!
i love squashy beats!!!!
At 10:02 the mars 2 sounds like the intro to La Raseka by Supermerk2
Flatline is wicked.
are you really stuck in 1985 bro ?

You can change some caps for more expensive one and do some other things.
Don't remember i but think there was some tweaks to make it less noisy also.
I find it absolutely hilarious comedy when someone uses a sampler and calls it music or their 'own' . 😅 Is that a pre-set you're using .. 😂
