"🎹 The Yamaha DX7 is one of the most iconic synthesizers of all time—and the sound of the entire 1980s. In this video, we break down the most famous DX7 presets like E.

If you want to know why the DX7 changed music forever and why its sounds are still everywhere today, this video is for you. The Yamaha DX7 shaped the sound of the 80s like no other synthesizer.

Yamaha DX7 - the best (arguable) digital synth ever! Part III (2nd)


video upload by Sebastian Galassi

"The third track on my EP, made almost exclusively with Yamaha DX7 (for the synthesizer part) and a handful of drum machines. As mentioned, this track also features an electric guitar solo, played by Sharad Shakya, which fits perfectly with this unmistakably '80s vibe. Stay tuned."

Yamaha DX7 - the best (arguable) digital synth ever! Part IV

video upload by Sebastian Galassi

"And here's another snippet of the track, created entirely with the Yamaha DX7 and the TX802 FM Tone Generator (a rack-module version of the DX7mkII with full 8-part multi-timbral operation). It also includes the electric guitar solo played by Sharad that enriches the second part of the song."

GreyScale-LiveZen


video upload by plantssystem

"GreyScale presents 'LiveZen' — a meditative performance shaped around the Duos.
Built with the Poly‑Sequencer, Prophet‑5, CS‑10, and the spatial processing of the VS‑1880 (RSS), this piece blends improvisational noise textures from Duos with the delicate tones of the Prophet‑5 and CS‑10.
A quiet, breathing soundscape that drifts between motion and stillness.
