Finally a REAL synth with no PCM. Very convenient user interface with a very large and detailed LCD. Advanced FM synhesis with 8 operators (with a choice of 8 waveforms for the OP). Formant shaping use 8 other operators that can be tought as comb filters. In addition, there's a multimode filter (LP 24db/oct, LP 18db/oct, LP 12db/oct, HP, Bandpass, and a notch)that sounds very good. It's very easy to surf between the multiple edit page thanks to the 4 front panel knobs that double as macro-controller (attack, release, formant, FM) and Midi controller.
Comments About the Sounds: FM synthesis with 8 operators combined with formant shaping delivers zillions of very interesting sounds. It's very long to program ( 8 FM operators plus 8 FS operators...the DX7 is chocolate cake...) but worths the effort. |
