1. Yamaha Reface DX Tutorial - Part 1: FM Fundamentals

"FM synthesis has made a comeback lately, but is known for being difficult to program. In this tutorial, we show how the Yamaha Reface DX can be used to approach FM in a more accessible way, making use of knowledge from other synthesizers."

2. Yamaha Reface DX Tutorial - Part 2: Feedback

"One of the important changes Yamaha made from the original DX7 is the way feedback is used. In the Reface, it gives us more precise control of the waveforms, and this video illustrates how feedback alone can create interesting sounds."

3. Yamaha Reface DX Tutorial - Part 3: Modulating with Feedback

"Feedback in the Yamaha Reface DX offers more flexibility in sound design when used in combination with FM. In this part, we study the effects of feedback in frequency modulation in more detail."

4. Yamaha Reface DX Tutorial - Part 4: Parameter Automation

"We had a request to test how well the Reface DX can handle having its FM parameters modulated from a DAW. As it turns out, it does it really well! For this test, we used Maschine 2.4, which can be used in standalone mode to send the proper CC data to the DX."

5. Yamaha Reface DX Tutorial - Part 5: Creating the FM Piano Sound

"In this video, we show the basis for how to create the classic FM electric piano sound that was ubiquitous for a while during the 80's!"

6. Yamaha Reface DX Tutorial - Part 6: Creating an FM Bass Sound

"Ever wondered if FM can do bass sounds? In this tutorial, we show how to quickly dial in a bass sound that you can tweak to your liking or modify further!"
