Yamaha TG77 Synthesizer Factory Demo Songs


Published on Jul 1, 2015 Sound Programming

"Factory demo songs from the Yamaha TG77 recorded direct with no additional effects.

Song List:

1. Pot Pourri (0:02)
2. IT's CooL !!! (2:02)
3. PowerPlay (4:25)
4. House Demo:P.Ellis (6:25)

The TG77 is the rackmount version of the SY77. Released during the transition from FM synthesis to ROMpler technology, it combines advanced FM (16 waveforms, 45 algorithms) with 16-bit sampled waveforms (AWM2). It is 16-part multitimbral and was considered very powerful for its day, though it lacks some features of the higher-end SY99, such as sampling.

It is very common for the display backlight to burn out, as can be seen in this unit. It can be repaired, but the display is usable without it and the replacement part costs enough (typically around $30) and requires enough effort to replace (full disassembly plus soldering) that many people don't bother."
