Casio VZ-1 phase mode envelope weirdness


video upload by Collector Current

The Casio VZ-1 is an odd and misunderstood synthesizer. In this video we look at how "PHASE" mode (wavefolding) changes the behavior of some of the envelopes. The story gets more complicated when you add "EXTERNAL PHASE" to the picture but I'll save that for a later video. If you want to read more you can also see the VZ-1 articles on my blog: https://blog.jacobvosmaer.nl/tags/vz-...

Yamaha DX11 coarse pitch ratios


video upload by Collector Current

"I learned today that the TX81Z / DX11 coarse FM pitch ratios are divided into four sequences. I sat down with a basic bell sound to explore if I can hear a resemblance.

Besides the harmonic ratios 0.5, 1, 2, 3, etc there are 3 other sequences of ratios which are multiples of 1.41 (sqrt(2)), 1.57 (pi/2) and 1.73 (sqrt(3)). Read more at https://blog.jacobvosmaer.nl/0050-fm-...
