Bravo! For the first time I feel like FM synthesis has made some sense to me. It's always been a big black box to me, and I've relied mostly on presets, but now I feel empowered to start trying designing sounds myself. Thank you very much!
I'm glad that it helped you to understand basics of FM synthesis. If you think 6 operator FM synth is too complex or confusing, you can start with 4 operator FM synths. I have tutorials for FM4 (iPad app) which is quite easy to learn. Here is the playlist for the FM4 tutorials, th-cam.com/play/PLS1dRgO-URAOf9Qxw0siaaqoJCUGxXXqc.html
Thank you. You should definetly get your own DX7 MK1. You won't regret it. Probably the most underrated synth in terms of producing one of most beautiful pads ever!!! It's the most kept secret of the DX7 FM synthesis. Using sine waves only, with clever programming, you can make epic pads that can eat analog poly synths for lunch!!!!!!!! Never undersestimate the power of sine wave!!!!!
Of all the FM synthesis videos I've found in youtube, this is the only one that gives valuable rich content information. Very well done, and thank you for Dexed, it is awesome!
Awesome DX7 FM explanations with superb video edition, graphics & sounds examples ! Hat off & thanks for this superb moment using visual / musical possibilities, as previously promised ... Excellent weekend to you with new projects ! ;-))
This is great.. however, I own the DX9.. so I have 4 OCS, not 6. Do you know where I could get information on understanding the DX9 version of FM Synthesis?
Hi Monster Jazz!! I was wondering what you've been doing. Sorry to hear that you haven't been receiving notifications. This is just one of many DX7 and related videos that I've been uploading for many months.
Just check my other videos, here is the link: th-cam.com/channels/qbIk_aESNGiB8gpeJkOYVw.htmlvideos My synth collection is gradually expanding to include the Roland D-50 and Korg M1. I did comparisons videos to see how the DX7 can keep up with those mighty hybrid synths!!
I have the famous Roland D-50 as well and I actually did the 80's famous digital synths demo with the all 3 great synths, Yamaha DX7, Roland D-50 and Korg M1. Each synth has its own unique characters! Here are the videos: th-cam.com/play/PLS1dRgO-URANx7za-G2Rr2nNXgg1P6S6B.html
I bought the D50 first. And loved it. A few months later I bought a DX7 mk1. I Hated it at first, I would probably go as far as to say I wished I hadn't bought it. It was noisy, dirty and the sliders didn't work. I cleaned and repaired it with a view to selling it, and since then, the D50 has hardly been used!

This is a superb resource for us DX7 owners. Thank you!
とても為になるサイトありがとうございます。私も35年ぶりにDX7を用いて演奏を始めましたが、音作りを完全に忘れておりましたので、勉強になると同時に、新たなDX7の活用の可能性に惹かれます。
Background sounds (pads, bells, leads) are awesome beauty and quality! I don't have DX7 now, but I'm planning to buy. Thank you!!

Very well put together! Awesome job!
Really REALLY useful synopsis! Thank you!!
fabulous tutorial, i'm determined to learn fm synthesis... this will help
An excellent tutorial, thank you so much for this
Very well done! Concrete examples of a complex topic. Perfect introduction to FM concepts.
Thanks. That was the aim of this tutorial video, nice and simple for an introduction to FM synthesis!!
Excellent explanation!
Yes, this is what I need.
Awesome DX7 FM explanations with superb video edition, graphics & sounds examples !
Hat off & thanks for this superb moment using visual / musical possibilities, as previously promised ...
Excellent weekend to you with new projects ! ;-))
Thanks Synth Colors!!! I hope you had a great weekend too!!
My pleasure !
Fully deserved ! ;-))
Thank you, from Buenos Aires!!!!
I think this pad sound has used Eagles in "Love will keep us alive" in "Hell freezes over Concert" live - at 4:55
Please do a tutorial on how to program a stunning DX7 string sound! Please!
Eman Mann Very interesting, thank you!
Can you share how you created that beautiful pad at 4:50? Lovely! Great channel, thank you.
top notch content!
Power DX7 can you create patch tutorials? Like the one you showed "epic pad sound"
This is great.. however, I own the DX9.. so I have 4 OCS, not 6. Do you know where I could get information on understanding the DX9 version of FM Synthesis?
Arigato arigato sensei
Does all this apply to the DX7 MKiiD as well?
In your opinion does either the DX5 or the DX1 make FM programming easier?
Hi there, as I never used the DX5 or DX1, so I can't comment on that.
I saw a DX5 in a music shop once, can't remember the exact price, but it wasn't that much. Idiot me didn't want it because it physically is huge! 😅
+Power - Is this a new video upload? I have subscribed but never receive notifications?!

+Power - Ok thanks a lot. I will give this one a watch . . .
+Power - So you actually own a D50 and M1 also? I still think the DX is the model which people struggled with most of all.
Yes, now I have the 3 80's iconic digital synths!!!!

Good sound DX7, but I prefer D50

The D50 is great, but is stuck sonically in 1987 (to some degree). People are still creating fresh, innovative sounds that no other synth can match!
4:48 I've...seen things you people wouldn't believe....
iLikeTheUDK i need to create that patch!
