YAMAHA DX7II FD FM Synthesizer with GREY MATTER E! expansion (1987)

E! board spec:
- octal mode (8 different patches can be played in one performance)
- voice stacking
- random detune
- patch mapping
- velocity processing
- micro-tuning
- pattern sequencer
- arpeggiator
- 4 new memory banks
and a lot more.

I used in the demo video no external sequencing. All sequences, arpeggios, chords are internal made with the E! expansion board.

0:08 Performance Mode
8:52 Arpeggio Mode
9:37 Chord Mode
11:00 Octal Mode
12:05 Percussion

The YAMAHA DX7 II is one of my absolute fav synths ever.
Here can you find the full DX7 playlist with a lot single sound demos and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.

Crumar Perfomer VS Crumar Multiman S-3

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"Two lovely string machines steps into the ring - ready to rumble.
The energy bill is here and it's steep.
We need cash badly so we're squaring these two off to see which one we can part ways with.
It's a tough choice but there can be only one.

The machines differ a bit in layout and controls:
The Performer sports a 4 octave keyboard compared to the Multimans 5 octaves.
It's also a bit more simple, it lacks a few filter controls in the brass section and the string section has constant chorus.
It still sounds great though, and it's a lot lighter than the Multiman - all of which are surprisingly heavy.

Have a look and listen - let yourself be heard in the comment section - which one would you keep?"

Sequential Trigon - Pad with 2 Pole / 4 Pole Ladder Filter, Arps & Pads

video upload by experimentalsynth

"The Sequential Trigon has a switchable 2/4 pole Ladder Filter. This helps it cover some of the usual bases while going other places less commonly covered by Ladder Filters. Can you say 'Lush'?"

Sequential Trigon Arps & Pads

"A quick mash up of arpeggiator and pad footage, just to show the sounds."

BTW, if you somehow haven't heard of The New York School of Synthesis video series, see this post. You can find a series on the DX7 posted here.

via the Dean Friedman email list:

"Hey Folks,

Dean Friedman here with a friendly suggestion: if you're finding it a challenge to stay up for those all-night synth sessions, our New York School of Synthesis Coffee Mugs (filled with your favorite java, tea or other stimulating beverage) is the ideal solution for modulating those waveforms, oscillators and envelopes and tweaking those filters into shape.

And, of course, we've got plenty of New York School of Synthesis T-Shirts in stock, in both classic white and night-owl black. These classic T's are the epitome of synth fashion. Wearing your NYSS T-shirt out in public will show that you have your finger on the popular pulse wave of the bleeding edge of synth culture. (note: I have no idea what that actually means). Plus they're cool!

Enjoy your holidays and keep making cool sounds!

Dean Friedman
New York School of Synthesis"
