video upload by Amiteque Electronics

"Amiteque FM-01 — Hardware FM Synthesizer Module

The Amiteque FM-01 is a modern hardware FM synthesizer module built around the original Yamaha YM2164 (OPP) FM synthesis chip, the same sound engine used in the Yamaha FB-01.

Unlike software emulations, the FM-01 generates its sound using a genuine Yamaha hardware FM chip.

The FM-01 combines the characteristic sound of classic 4-operator Yamaha FM synthesis with a modern standalone design and straightforward front-panel operation.

Main features:
• Original Yamaha YM2164 (OPP) hardware FM synthesis chip
• 4-operator FM synthesis
• 8-voice polyphony
• Multitimbral operation planned
• Front-panel voice and setup controls
• 16×1 LCD display
• MIDI IN / OUT / THRU
• SysEx support
• Stereo 6.3 mm audio outputs
• External 9 V DC power supply
• Designed and developed in Canada

This demo features the Amiteque FM-01 together with the Amiteque AR-110 analog drum synthesizer and other studio instruments.

FM-01 is currently under development.

Yamaha EMR-1 Digital Drummer Sound Demo

video upload by Runningonair

Note: this appears to be the first demo featuring the EMR-1 on the site. There was one previous post featuring the EMR-1 in Yamaha's half rack series here.

"In this video I demo patterns from the Yamaha EMR-1 Digital Drummer, released in 1988. The patterns vary in usefulness but the lofi digital sounds (8/12bit) could be good for sampling. The individual sounds can apparently be played via a midi utility, but I've not looked into that so far.

All patterns are at 120BPM, for those that would like to try them out."

A&M STUDIO LIVE 1980をイメージして、音色・演奏・映像を自分なりに再現しました。

今回は、SOLID STATE SURVIVORからRYDEENへ続く流れを一本の演奏動画として制作しています。

A&M STUDIO LIVEならではの独特の緊張感、Prophet系ブラスの質感、そしてSOLID STATE SURVIVORからRYDEENへ移る瞬間の高揚感を大切にしました。

実機中心の制作で、できるだけ当時のライブ感や音の雰囲気に近づけています。

【使用機材 / Equipment】

Synthesizer：Sequential Prophet-6
Rhythm / Sound Module：YAMAHA MOTIF-RACK ES
Drum Module：ALESIS D4
Multitrack Recorder：ZOOM MRS-1608

Keyboard / Bass / Programming / Recording / Mixing / Video Editing：Jimmy5820

I tried to recreate the sound, atmosphere and energy of YMO’s A&M Studio Live 1980 performance, especially the transition from 'SOLID STATE SURVIVOR' into 'RYDEEN.'

Hope you enjoy it!"

just look at the past (Yamaha YM2151 + Yamaha YMZ280B)

video upload by Vivi The Pumpkin King

Fun video featuring the Yamaha YM2151 + Yamaha YMZ280B voice chips. Interstingly, you'll find previous posts mentioning the YM2151, but not the YMZ280B. This simply implies the YM2151 is more comonly used in DIY projects.

"The Yamaha YM2151, also known as OPM (FM Operator Type-M), is an 8-channel, 4-operator sound chip used for frequency modulation (FM) synthesis in 1980s arcade games, home computers, and synthesizers."

Key Features

Voices:

Plays up to 8 simultaneous sounds or channels.

Data Formats: Supports 4-bit ADPCM, 8-bit PCM, and 16-bit PCM waveform data.

Memory: Connects to up to 16 MB of external ROM or SRAM for storing sound data.

Output: Delivers stereo output with 4-bit/16-level panning for each individual voice.P

rocessors: Links with an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and can connect to a Yamaha YSS225 effects processor for extra channel processing."

"The Yamaha YMZ280B, also called PCMD8, is an 8-channel PCM and ADPCM sample-based sound chip made by Yamaha Corporation in the mid-to-late 1990s.

Key FeaturesChannels and Operators:

It supports 8 simultaneous channels of 8-note polyphony with 4 operators per channel.

Sound Generation: It includes built-in noise generators, LFOs for vibrato and amplitude modulation, and timer circuits.

Companion IC: It requires an external digital-to-analog converter (typically the Yamaha YM3012) to output stereo audio.

Common Uses

Arcade Machines: Atari's Marble Madness (1984) was the first arcade game to use the YM2151 for FM synthesis, leading to widespread adoption in arcade hardware.

Home Computers: It powered the sound boards in sharp computers like the Sharp X68000 and the Yamaha CX5M music computer.

Synthesizers: Yamaha utilized the chip in early budget keyboards and sound modules like the DX21, DX27, and DX100."
