    Love the patch you came up with. SY99 is still a really nice synth that was kind of its own animal. They did not hold there value very well thou, which is surprising considering everything that series will do. Excellent explanation on how you set up your patch. I have considered purchasing a used SY99 a few times in the past. I am going to see how hard it is to mimic what you have done here on some of my other synths.

    Thanks for watching. It's actually the other way around due to the EG restrictions so AFM wet, AWM dry -- watch the "Deep Dive" vid

    Very good programming, as always by you! Would you say that you can achieve the same results with the FM side of the new Montage M...or is this really exclusive to the SY99? Thanks!

  • @DrSynth
    @DrSynth6 сағат бұрын

    Well, FM-X only has 1 Feedback loop for the 8 Operators. It does have the "Even" harmonic waveforms so you could to something similar with 4 Parts -- 2 for the R/L 'dry' part, 2 for the R/L 'wet' part. Wouldn't likely have the 'image depth' without the phase offsets though. Give it a try!

    Just get a Montage. Much, much more powerful engine of the exact same type. You may have to program it yourself, but the potential for fatness is EXTREME.

    That 16kHz(ish) spike that the (slightly too high) feedback of operator 3 induces is really upsetting my hearing, but apart from that amazingly lush sound out of a vintage digital.

    Manny, do you have any articles floating around for the SY series synths? The ones you did for Yamaha on the Reface and ModX synths really made me understand FM and I enjoyed working through the patch examples thoroughly for the Reface. It's frustrating how little written material, or video content is out there beyond the absolute basics. How to create saw, square, and triangle waves etc can be learned in about 2 minutes but that tends to be where most guides end (maybe there's a bonus EP patch thrown in), even though there's a whole world of ideas out there that can be exploited , like the amazing stuff you've done with true PWM and FM "resonant filters" If you were to write a book compiling all of your programming methods for these awesome machines I'd be first in line to buy it.

  • @tihinter
    @tihinter23 сағат бұрын

    I‘d buy that book, too, 4 sure! Even better would be a really in depth multi-part lecture, sort of like Aaron Lanterman’s been doin for years… I love every glimpse on his huge inside knowledge, Many shares with the world. Can’t wait to learn more from him. The new patches for my Nonlinear C15 are just wonderful. Still desperately looking for those innovative TX802 performances he did back in the days at SSU.

    I’d love to see how much closer you could come to emulating LA synthesis patches like Staccato Heaven or Fantasia by the SY99 engine. You already nailed it in the past with your DX7II patches, but how much more detail could be achieved with the much more complex possibilities of the SY? (Of course still speaking of an AFM-only challenge, not introducing samples). I’d also be very keen on learning more about stacking sound components by combining FM patches, which could be done on the SY99 easily. You showed us some hugely impressive insights on your piano sound on that Montage, but how bout those techniques on the SY, and for more creative “proprietary synth” sound design? I have a very strong feeling that there is so much more to conquer on the FM side of things. Love my TX816 with D-tronics hardware programmer for this, btw…

    There's nothing wrong with this music or patches. It sounds totally normal to me, I don't hear any difference between "right" and "wrong" sounds. Everything is possible in proper (or even improper) context. There's nothing like "wrong/right" patches or "wrong/right" music. :-) We can always ask "why this" or "why not this". There's no single truth in the art. Even cacophony is very relative term, not necessarily it means "catastrophe".

    Love this patch! Fills a major missing gap in the factory presets. Thanks for making this tutorial, a lot of the "tricks" of FM synthesis are a lot less obvious than what I've learned in the subtractive world...
