How To Learn Yamaha DX7 Like A Pro, BT - How To Pick A Right Algorithm Like A Pro

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Long-time fan... I'll say it again and again... This guy rocks! Don't fear the algorithm ;)

[@108Existences]

Thank you very much for these. Video tutorials are far easier and faster to learn from than books.

[@lundsweden]

Believe it or not, I made a great sounding, very realistic Jazz Guitar patch using this tutorial. I was following the instructions for using ALG 2 to create saw and square waves. By fiddling with the ENV rate and levels for each operator, I found this lovely tone. Thank you Mr. PowerDX7!

[@Taeodoestech]

I believe it! 🚀

[@cgereu]

That's killer that you got such a great comments from BT!!! You are definitely awesome. I have been following your tutorials as well and learned so much!! I actually ended up getting the original DX7 recently in addition to DX7 II FD and a couple of TX802's that I have had for quite a while.

[@YotamPiano]

WOOT??? I'm in your vid!!! tytytyty :))

[@powerdx7383]

Yes, thanks for your comment. It helped me to package contents better. And you are learning FM synthesis properly! So thank you!

[@konradhausmann6359]

You are a legend! Thanks so much for your work! Just got my DX7IID two weeks ago and already programming my own "analog-like" pads thanks to your videos

[@neodym1337]

Respect with those comments from BT, love your channel finally got a DX7 and gonna learn to program it

[@synthscolors]

Yamaha DX / TX users... Watch it ! Hat off & thanks once again for these outstanding visual FM synthesis tutorials ... For sure, you'll end up working for Yamaha someday... which will be fully deserved ... Keep sharing your passion & talents through these professional projects ! ;-))

[@LondraCalibro9]

love your channel, had a TX81Z, but you inspired me to just get a TX7 ! there is something beautiful inside these machines - and you help unlock it. Respect to you and the engineers who made the units.

[@suitandtieguy]

this is very high quality content. i look forward to watching the rest of your videos.

for a complex, well built synth, it came with poor factory stock sounds. Just because you can build one doesn't give you the ability to program good organ and piano voices that were prominent at that time, New to "one step at a time" input. I ordered a plug in cartridges from Bo Tomlyn, Key Clique (sp?) Top 40 sounds. Pricey but worth it. the organ and piano were far superior. The piano rivaled my sampled piano. Any variation of electtric pianos were posible. I continued studying the manuel and came up with a nice solo fiddle (violin) with plenty of rosin on the bow. That being said, Its a good midi controller because the semi weighted keyboard had an exellent feel. Now I listen to you with intent to learn but sold it anyway back in the 80's😮😢. But keep it coming, Most step up to something new and not get to 50% of its potential. 😮❤

The thing that keeps bringing me back to FM synthesis are: patches that respond like acoustic instruments. They don't always sound completely realistic, but they sound good and you can often get fresh sounding results from it. How much more can we get out of analog? It's all been done IMO. FM is unique in having that feeling that some amazing sounding patch that nobody has ever heard before is just a few adjustments away!

Simply the best explanation. Greetings from Poland.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

another awesome vid, thanks!

[@markkusmierz3756]

Thank you very much for explaining the Algorithms.Great job teaching.

[@rickyhuff]

Wonderful video! Thanks for posting!

[@MypeaceIgive007]

Can I apply this to DX7II-F/FD or TX802? Thanks😊

[@Viiday]

And I thought that interchangeable algorithms are those algorithms with which there will be exactly the same sound, with 4 groups of algorithms, an almost identical sound is obtained, due to a greater additive synthesis.

[@guiom77]

Merci beaucoup

[@kojik4271]

I love this so much, please make more!!!

[@Viiday]

If there are six in the algorithm, remove feedback, then you get a completely identical sound.

[@acasadosom]

Please, How i can make a split and add a Second layer ? Thanks

[@kojik4271]

do you think your dx7 has gotten old enough to have built its own character over time? Do you clean the insides out ever? Just curious

[@kojik4271]

thank you so much. if you dont mind me asking, how did you get the scar on your left wrist? it looks wild and cool lol

[@henrygiardini9989]

thanks a lot! you're the man....

[@buckdownscanada9946]

This is killer thanks !

[@maxperuchi7453]

Hello my friend. I’m trying to recreate the Bass 1 patch from DX7 on my DX21 or as possible as I can, because I can’t afford a DX7 here in my country. Do you have some tips or could give me a hand on creating a “similar” Bass 1 sound with 4 operators? Thanks ! Very nice work.

[@fender1000100]

Can't be done on the old 4 ops DX synths. All the DX7 sounds can be produced on the MODERN REFACE DX synth. It allows for a bigger fuller sound because it uses feedback on all 4 ops. And and has onboard effects that can be saved within a patch. And this is a major gamechanger. To create patches that rival a 6 op FM synth

[@popcycles]

​​@@fender1000100that's not true. Dx21 is perfect for bass.And no, the reface cannot replicate all the dx7sounds. 😂

[@vidjenko8349]

i saw a programmer for the dx7 online. soo many knobs!

[@hermask815]

Now you know what the Machine is missing.

[@robertsyrett1992]

But, like, how do I make a good trumpet sound?

[@lcceo22]

Holy shit at the long ass preamble.
