On this series we will learn to use the classic DX7 take from Arturia.
We will go from cero to hero on this synth. If you are starting, this is the right place. We will cover every single aspect of this synthesizer
On this one we will talk about how to start using it and how a single operator works.

Straight to the point and thorough... no moronic thumbnail, no handwaving, no CNN expert speak, no stupid little dances. Well done.
Thanks Trevor. Oh I hate those thumbnails hyping things. Covering their mouth like something forbidden is going to happen on the vid. That's not me. I manage this ship like it was a Courses platform where you pay to take a course.
In the past I owned a DX 21, a DX 100 and a DX7 mk 2. -And although I loved playing around and tweaking them, I could never get the sound that I had in mind from them. They were difficult to program. Even if you understood approximately how FM worked -you still had to endlessly menu dive the tiny screen down a very large rabbit hole. These days thankfully things have moved on from back then. I really began to understand the mechanics of FM about four years ago when I purchased UVI's Falcon. Falcon's four operator FM synth engine is simple but very effective -especially when combining it with Falcon's limitless modulators, high end effects and multi engined approach to sound design. I also own Arturia's DX7 V -and in my experience; is the best all round friendliest and easy to program FM synth there currently is. After watching your excellent tutorial I'm drawn to take another look at my own DX7 V to see where it'll take me this time. Well done, I look forward to the next tutorial.
UVI's Falcon, never tried that one. I love the arturia DX7, got an OPSIX, what a machine !!! if you love FM and you want a hardware FM synth opsix is a good option.
@@FernandoLobo Does the hardware (korg opsix) sound much better than arturia dx7 ??
@@user-zd4qy5zl7i its sounds a bit more modern. Sound its a bit cleaner and less warm. I like using hardware because it boosts my creativity, so for me if they sound equally good. I prefer the HW because of that creative factor.
Notes for myself
1:26 Advanced section. All operators have the same features. What's hard is all the sounds you can create with FM Synthesis. But the tools are pretty simple.
2:37 6 oscillators. 2:58 Default patch. So much more than an oscillator. Many words.
3:32 Osc volume. Select waveform.
5:03 TX81Z. More waves.
5:52 Invert button, changes the waveform shape.
6:38 Detune. It's just fine-tuning.
7:18 RATIO & FIXED. How FM Synthesis treats the detuning. The range and fine control / Coarse and Fine. Pitch change travels in ratios. Fine control moves up to an octave.
8:35 FIXED. Gives a clicking sound. It converts it into an LFO. Demo of pitch bend.
9:30 Makes all keys the same pitch. Disconnects it from the keyboard. Useful for using a fundamental note or pedal note and making other notes with other oscillators.
Filter
10:30 Osc Sync and Pitch EG. Next is the filter. Cutoff and Res demo.
11:25 Select lowpass, bandpass or high pass. KBD FOLLOW makes keys have different cutoffs depending on highness or lowness, lower notes will be darker. Demo of KBD FOLLOW on then off. Higher keys keep higher frequencies. Can turn off whole section.
Envelope
12:32 Default template. Osc makes a sound then goes to the filter then goes out. Envelope is the ADSR control. Envelopes tab, for control of 6 envelopes.
13:54 3 modes of envelope: DX7, DADSR and MSEG. MSEG is the most useful one. Drawing an ADSR.
14:59 You can have 16 nodes in an MSEG envelope. Double click to move sustain point.
16:05 There are envelope profiles / presets. Exponential or linear lines, demo. Can drag to make the envelope longer or shorter.
OUT section
16:51 Go back to a gate envelope. Where the real FM Synthesis starts. Going up on Feedback will make the delay feedback itself - more intense sound, you get more harmonics until you get to the noise and saturation realm. Demo of Feedback.
19:01 Remember, with FM Synthesis, we'll use the other operators, so the Feedback sound will only be a part of the overall end sound.
19:38 AM SENS (amp modulation sensitivity). To make it have effect you need to turn the AMD dial up at the top. You get a tremolo.
20:41 VEL, SENS (touch sensitivity). Pan control.
20:56 It's not that different from a subtractive synth. Operator - block contains a whole synthesiser. So FM Synth gives you 6 synths here. They each can have all their own settings.
21:50 In the end, some of them will be modulating other synths/operators.
22:11 Operator is the word we use for FM synthesis. Each operator has an osc, filter, etc.
23:06 Imagine all the possibilities with 6 operators. Next we'll learn how to use other operators and make a blend and get an FM sound.
You're doing god's work lol. But seriously, I'm glad for more tutorials on DX7 vs FM8.
Thanks !!! ...wait Emily ?. Wow a female, you know the TH-cam analitycs says I've got 0% female audience... congratulations you are pretty unique, or a bot. Hahah
@@XNBeatsMusic I had to check, my Google account does have gender selected. Weird. Or I'm part of a rounding issue, now XD But a bot would claim it's not a bot, wouldn't it?
@@Emily_M81 yes, you must be the only one, that's why Google rounds to 0%. I would really love to see more women with synths and all of this. So keep it up and inspire others if you can.
This is awesome thanks for this video. I just bought this soft synth a couple of days ago. I've had pigments for about a year and have a Blofeld module as well and look forward to diving into this
Thanks. It's a super complete synth, is what a DX7 whishes to be. Pad, bells, plucks and cool bass, you can do almost anything. But, it requires dedication, once you learn the setting and where is where, you make a patch in 5. I release each video after 48 HS. So by next week the series will be complete.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The way you explain every function is simple and concrete, and that makes easy to understand, and make me want to learn more. Greetings from Argentina!
Thanks for laying the foundation! Looking forward to the next ones! Interconnections between operators has always been quite a mystery to me!
Yes, I remember those days. You will love it, the possibilities are endless.
Amazing videos. I'm glad that I found your channel. Can't wait for Korg MS-20 V tutorial!
wowwww great work, thanks man❤
Something that I really dont understand with fm synthesis is how can we match a FM synth sound with other kind of sounds? The harmonics that we create can be completely out of tune/key from our track... Of course we can tune the operators but when you play a specific scale with other instruments, it sounds out of tune... thats a mystery for me. Anyway thank you for your tutorial, it's very clear
Can I just use this synth for the presets or do I have to know about FM Synthesis???
Hey bro thank you for these amazing videos ! I'm looking for someone who know very the DX7 and have a challenge for you if you agree. Let me know ! :)
