YAMAHA DX5 Synthesizer - Sounds, Patches & Presets | FM Synth Demo

synth4ever

"Yamaha DX5 FM synthesizer demo featuring various sounds, patches & presets. This Yamaha DX5 synth demo showcases various patches including piano & electric piano, leads, bass, pads, brass, textures, noise and FX. Some reverb & delay effects from Eventide Space and Timefactor pedals.

The Yamaha DX5 is a vintage classic and rare 6-operator FM synthesizer from 1985-1987. It is essentially two Yamaha DX7 synthesizers in one case, and just a small step below the incredibly rare flagship Yamaha DX1 (it does not have the DX1's polyphonic aftertouch, algorithm LEDs or the extra wooden paneling, but is otherwise nearly identical).

With two Yamaha DX7 synths in one unit, the Yamaha DX5 features 76 keys, 32-voices of polyphony and excellent bi-timbral split and layering capabilities (A and B layers with 16-voices each). It also has 64 performance memories which can be loaded or saved to cartridge (the DX7 has only one manual performance memory), lots of patches, and XLR outputs for improved audio quality.

The Yamaha DX5 has an onboard LFO with multiple waveshaepes (Sine/Square/Tri/SAW up/SAW Down/Random), 6 Envelope generators with 8 parameters each and Portamento as well. FM synthesis programming on the Yamaha DX5 is fairly easy, as the control surface exposes most of the functions in a button-per-function format which reduces the menu-diving required.

Sound-wise the Yamaha DX5 is great for classic FM tones and the presets really bring you back to the mid-80s. With programming it can take you into new sonic territory. The sound quality from the DX5 has a nice texture, and helps give it a distinct tone which is warm and full for an FM synth. In this demo I tried to showcase a variety of Yamaha DX5 sounds, patches and presets in a basic sense, and also added some effects here and there to enhance them further.

Overall, the Yamaha DX5 is an amazing FM synth if you really love the sound of the Yamaha DX7, as it takes it to the next level. The Yamaha DX5 is fairly rare these days and commands high prices on the second hand market, but if you are into FM synthesis and you come across a DX5, don't hesitate to pick it up."

Eventide Blackhole Reverb Pedal Perfect for Electronic Musicians?

Electronisounds Audio

"Somehow, the Eventide Blackhole reverb pedal sounds even better than I was expecting it to! It sounds very full, rich and lush on synthesizers and grooveboxes! I show many, many examples of what it can do to enhance and enrich sounds from a veritable smorgasbord of electronic music hardware. Come on, let's have some FUN! If you need a reverb pedal for DAW-less jamming, this is a fantastic option, Friends! Thanks for watching!"

What's that in the middle stand under the stand with the Rorland TRs & Oberheim Matrix-1000? It took me a little bit to figure it out. If you give up, you can see it clearly at 5:37, or in only a small handful of posts on the site here. It's an interesting one considering the brand.

Mungo State Zero Synthesizer: Drone

rts213

"A short clip demonstrating the polyphonic Mungo State Zero. In this first example, only 5 oscillators were used."

Check out additional Mungo State Zero Synthesizer demos in previous posts here. It was initially priced at $12,000, then $8900. I always thought this, and an Ekdahl Polygamist would make for an interesting combo. Throw in a Jomox Sunsyn for good measure. Maybe a Synton Syrinx, and OSCar [what's this?] to boot. Funny how certain synths remind you of others that remind you yet of others... Down the synth rabbit hole. This site is the ultimate synth rabbit hole. Whatever happened to that new Syrinx?

1010music Bluebox Sonicware Liven First Meet

Dj Puzzle

"Finally dropped my Sonicware Liven into the portable mix. Got a cute little groove developing here. Was stoked to show you my progress. 1010Music Bluebox at the hub of everything. Bluebox is running OS ver .8.6 still in beta testing/ dev mode. Also in the mix Pocket Operator PO-28, Volca Bass, Volca Kick, Volca Modular, 1010music Blackbox. A couple guitar pedals in the mix including WMD Geigger Counter 2. Technically everything you see here can run on battery power so this could be completely portable. I'm absolutely amazed with how well everything is syncing up. #dawless #1010music #Sonicware"

"Yamaha DX200 Groovebox - DX7 FM synth in a box with real-time controls!.

Tough to get ahold of these days!

Brilliant synth for live use - tonnes of hands-on controls geared around performance and 4 extra "free LFO's" to automate any parameter , create slowly morphing sounds or unpredictable rhythms.

Let's you download and load in any 90s DX7 patches from the internet - (there's some incredible free Aphex Twin patches if you search hard enough...)

Fully working order and in incredible shape for it's age. The encoder knob works perfectly, but I also have a spare encoder pot replacement I have for it in case it ever started jumping about, a known issue with some of these groove boxes."
