You can find a full review with more images and a sample on Khoral's Cafe 80 (direct link)."The SY35 is sixteen voices polyphonic and multimbral (eight parts). There are 128 sounds. 64 are factory presets that you can’t erase, mostly acoustic (most notably, some good electric pianos, excellent vintage strings and a lovely choir patch). The other 64 are user presets, for storing your own creations.
Sounds are built around no less than four oscillators, two FM and two AWM (that is, basically acoustic samples). Each FM oscillator has its dedicated low-pass filter [there actually isn't a filter - see comments below]. Add four LFOs and sixteen (decent but not great) effects, and that’s pretty much it."
Ahem - there are NO filters on any of Yamaha's SY vector synths- SY22/35 and TG33.
ReplyDeleteWhat you're mistaking them for are the tone and feedback parameters for very limited FM programming.
All right all right
ReplyDeleteI should say it is a filter-like function
The real filters come with SY55 and upwards
