Some synth babe keytar action for you. You can thank Mr. Array for this one. Apologies for the ending. If you have a delicate stomach you might want to have a barf bag ready for this one.
Made you look. :)

Two Years of MATRIXSYNTH

I just realized I missed my two year anniversary. Matrixsynth went live on July 20th of 2005. You can see some of the early posts on the right side of the site under Blog Archive. Note that the current month is always expanded by default. Under each month you can see the titles for every single post. If you click on one it will take you to the post. If you click on one of the triangles to the left it will either close or expand the section based on it's current state. Thanks everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the site. This year I thought it would be interesting to see some stats for the last year. What surprised me were the number of unique visitors over the year. I thought there were fewer of us out there.

Crazy. BTW, I just added a Google Translation page on the top right. Let me know how it works.

Yamaha SY22 Resource Page

Title link takes you wolzow's Yamaha SY22 page where you will find a sysex viewer, a link to the operating manual, links to other resources and some notes on the synth.
"The sounds (voices, as Yamaha calls them) are normally combined of 4 different waveforms (2 samples, two FM) and this process is controllable with a cute joystick (this is the 'dynamic vector synthesis' part). The manual has a table exposing the ingredients of the factory sounds. I was curious about how the rest of the sounds (found on the net, that can be loaded via sysex dumps) are made up, so I examined the sysex spec and wrote a small utility to create similar table with details for any sysex file." The Yamaha TG33 was the table top version of the SY22.
