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."

"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.
