Great work! I always thought the M1 was a bit bland, but I guess if you put the effort in..........😀

In a way it was an improvement on the DW8000. Without the analog filters though.

At 20:22 you show a screen from the SY99 with some program called 'SY77 Multi Voice'. The SY77 itself was as limited as the M1.

[@offthematrix5310]

I followed the link from 20:22, there was no screen shot of the SY99. The SY77 has effects sends for each voice in a multitimbral mix. The M1's effects are applied to all the parts in a mix, which can result in a muddy mix if you want a lot of reverb for a pad.

@@offthematrix5310 To use four different effects on a SY77 on 4 different programs you have to use the 2 stereo outputs. Say first program an output one, panned left, second on output one panned right, etc. Then you can apply some independent effect from the effect section, which you will find in the effects numbered 35 to 40. It helps then to uses all four physical outputs and an external mixer to place these four mono programs into a stereo field.

Sorry, I was referring to the screen at 7:08. That is from the SY99, where you can apply different sends from all programs in a multi to the effect processor, just like in an outboard mixer, where you have two different, say SPX900 like effect processors connected.

Nice, still have my M1REX from decades ago! Not selling it, even if it has some obvious restrictions in comparison to today's synth tech. ps. where did you get your DX-7 Tee from ?!!
