Great job. I wish I had this in the eigthies, at that time I dreamed about the DX 7 which was above my student budget of that days. 😊 This would have been a great poor man substitute 😉 Still hoping for a project publishing. Keep going on your projects.
Hello geertboer, thanks for the comments! My case is the same, it was a dream of mine when I was young to have a DX7, but it wasn't possible. I had a Yamaha PSS with FM. Nowadays I could even buy a used DX7, but I didn't have the courage. I bought the YC61 which has the FM engine. Now recently I decided to build my own synth and as I always liked the FM sound and to revive the sound of the PSS keyboards from the 80s/90s I went for the YM2413 chip (I have another project with the YM3812 that is still in its early stages). The tones that this simple synth produces are incredible, it ends up being addictive :)
@@musichobby2198 I'm a freak on this topic also and bought some synth's from these years. But stopped with it because of the carbon key contacts that most of the products have. After 20 to 30 year they centainly will give problems. And repairing them gives lots of trouble. But I also was many times close to buy a real DX7 if only of his iconic state.
