[@synthscolors]

+Sergey Magel Thanks A Lot For Watching & Comment... A Little Surprise... Throughout This "Sound Design" Session... To Figure How SY77 Sounds Heard On This Channel Got Alive ... Even If I Haven't Been Into Deep Programming... Not Using All The Fabulous S77 Programming Potential... Yes, You're Completely Really... An Excellent Machine... ! Excellent Musical Weekend To You ! ;- ))

[@sergeymagel8715]

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks. Successful Weekend You.

Excellent walkthrough. I actually purchased one of these in good condition yesterday. Expect it will arrive just over the weekend, and I cant wait. Now I know how to get started ;) Cheers!

[@synthscolors]

Thanks a lot for watching & comment ! Thanks so much... 1 Way of programming... many more steps/ways possible ... led by our hears, always ! This is a fabulous machine with tremendous possibilities ... throughout 2 different FM elements (6 FM operators / sustain & release each ...) and the "Magical Moment" for ears when you Detune each of these 2 ... added to internal effects, allowing superb sounds !!!! You'll love it, that's for sure... & I can send you a bank of personal sounds for free, throughout Sysex at a given mail address to start with (as most of these 2nd hand babies often come with original factory sounds, only !!!) A good thing is to check the soldered internal battery, just unscrewing the bottom "plate" & watching if there is no "leakage" around & testing it with a multimeter ... as functions / led / sounds & effects can get weird when battery is far lower from the 3 v ! ... for instance, on the SY99 & its 2 batteries out, I had no record / run led lighting up any more & an awful / increasing painful sound when changing effects values... got all back after replacing them & initializing the baby ! ;-)) Excellent week to you & let me know about your new "FM monster" ! ;-))

[@ChrisIhao]

synths colors: Thanks man. I will definitely take you up on that offer. :)

[@synthscolors]

No problem, will be with great pleasure... after all, if this channel was just to introduce new, personal sounds played by myself, kept for myself, well, I'm afraid that it wouldn't exist at all, ha,ha,ha ! ;-))

[@Herfortz]

Awesome sound ... I no longer use a keyboard as I've been using FL for years now. All of my guitars and keyboards got stolen back in 1998 and I got back into music again in 2005 with my FL .... However, before I learned how to use my newer programs, I searched through E bay and bought 2 more RX 5 drum machines and 1 SY55 keyboard because they were so reliable to me in the past and sounded so awesome.

[@synthscolors]

+Herfortz Thanks A Lot For Watching & Comment... Some Real-Time Programming With My Beloved SY77 Synth... To Figure How My Sounds Are Designed On This Fabulous Monster... ... Sad To Hear That Your Guitars & Keyboards Got Stolen... Stopping You Making Music For 7 Years... Hopefully You Got Back To It... Throughout Newer Programs... & RX5 Drums & SY55.... Which Sounds Great !!! I Do Really Love The SY & TG Series From SY22 / TG33 Till The Flagship SY99.... All Fitted With OUTSTANDING SOUND DYNAMIC.... Enough To Blow Up Any Speaker ! The Reason I'm Using Keyboards Is That They Are The Only Instruments I Can Play ... But I Would Love To Be Able To Play All Existing Instruments... As I Really Am Sound Addicted, Ha,Ha,Ha ! ;-)) Excellent Musical Weekend To You ! ;-))

[@Herfortz]

+synths colors It's too bad that I can't integrate those instruments with the FL ..... The closest that I came to this was to make my FL a midi controller and it could trigger my drum machines at intervals to augment my FL music .... The only problem with that is that I couldn't export the drum machines along with the FL to a single waveform .... What I did instead was to connect the line out of my drum machines including my Alesis SR-16 and then export their waveform into my FL browser .... That's most evident in my song "Afterburner" where I used the SR -16 snare to give it that epic 80s sound .... Eventually, I'll want to take the sounds from my SY -55 and do the same.

[@synthscolors]

+Herfortz ... Just Watched & Listened To Your "Afterburner Soundtrack"... Superbly Composed... Would Be Effectively Great To Get Your SY55 Sounds... To Be Fully At Ease With Your Beloved Setup... Anyway, Your Compositions Really Are Outstanding ... Keep It Up ! ;-))

[@KILLAGORILLA7000]

Please do some more of these, really enjoyed it!

[@JennysCountryChannel]

Sounds wonderful! Wishing you a great new week.....Best wishes......Jenny 🌺

[@synthscolors]

+JennysCountryChannel Thanks Very Much For Watching & Comment... I Really Wanted To Share Something Different This Time... Throughout This Real-Time Programming Session...

great video, nice to see my language in description 👍😉 nice job, best regards Daro

[@synthscolors]

+Daro72 Thanks Very Much For Watching & Comment... A Little Something Different This Time... Welcome Into My Sound Design World... With My Beloved Programming Synth... Few Different Language (More Than I Can Handle ... Thanks To Google Traductor) Ha,Ha,Ha... Some "Polish"Was Used Here... The One You Were Talking About, I Guess ;-)) ... Tried To Make This Video Enjoyable Enough... From The Painful "Basic INIT FM Sound" Till The New Pleasant FM Pad ... For Ears ... In Real-Time ... Even If Not All Possible SY77 Programming Parameters Were Not Used Here... Lots Of Power Under The "Bonnet" ...! Excellent Coming Week To You ! ;-))

[@dvamateur]

This is a very good FM tutorial.

[@synthscolors]

Thanks a lot for watching & comment ! Thanks so much ... trying to show how the sounds released within these SY77 videos were created... as I was asked to ... ... Far beyond the values & parameters... sharing the "Analog Synths Way of Programming"... Keeping LISTENING TO ANY LITTLE, TINY CHANGE... till get the Pleasant, expected or unexpected harmonics ... really ;-)) Excellent week to you ! ;-))

[@Yves-Robert]

ha super, je découvre enfin ta façon de faire les choses, merci pour cette vidéo fort intéressante, du très bon son encore une fois et fait en direct que du plaisir, merci l'ami d'avoir penser à faire ce que je n'osais pas te demander. excellente semaine et en musique mes amitiés Yves-Robert

[@scalarwaver]

finally a usefull information. The Sy99 seems even better than the FS1R

[@synthscolors]

Thanks a lot for watching & commenting ! One way of programming this wonderful SY / TG series... only know the FS1R through videos I've seen so far, but the SY99 has always been a true Monster keyboard with lots of parameters you can easily access, thanks to all tact switches, slider & dial knob !!! I guess that you have a TG77 or SY77... for which I have a personal sound bank I could send you through SysEx file if you wish ;-)) Great musical week to you ! ;-))

[@scalarwaver]

I did not knew about the way of programming the SY99 until this video Thank you for the offer. and the SY can use samples as a fm soursce, but do not know if only by ROM or by sampleram too. No i have no hardware nowadays anymore. Only one heightunit ? for 8 and 8 really fat oscilators ? with 88 algorithms ? O.k.

[@synthscolors]

Yes, both SY/TG77 & SY99 can use ROM samples "injected" into FM (through AWM2)... Only the SY99 can load users samples : .from sampler / computer through Midi Sample Dump Standard "SDS" .loading Yamaha TX16W 3.5" disks ones ... into its 512kb internal memory... up to 3 mb (when all 5 SYEMB05 internal cards are installed) as "factory specs"... third parts seems to have developed proper memory cards with more "room" ;-)) ... Got it, so you had a FS1R ... ;-))

[@DearbornJohn]

An Interesting look watching you customize settings to arrive at your desired sound. Thanx for sharing🎶🎵🎶🎵

[@synthscolors]

+DearbornJohn Thanks Very Much For Watching & Comment... Something Different As A Surprise ... Behind The Scene Like... To Give An Idea Of How Sounds Are Coming Up From Scratch... Amazing How So "Basic Sounds" Can Turn Into These Pads With This Incredibly Powerful SY77 ... Without Getting Deeply Into Programming Parameters (AFM Operators Detune...LFOs... Fine Effects Parameters...)... ;-)) Excellent Inspiring Weekend To You ! ;-))

[@DearbornJohn]

synths colors That was hard for me to cross over from the ARP 2600 to the DX7IIFD the terminology was different and was so much harder to navigate. Take Care and have a Great Week!

[@synthscolors]

+DearbornJohn Yes, I Really Do Understand What You Mean... As I've Learned Programming ... Conversely... On The YAMAHA SY99, Years After Getting A Yamaha TG33 (My First Synth With Programming Features) ... Sadly Enough, The DXs Series Got This "Very Difficult To Program Reputation" Due To Their Menus... Instead Of... Buttons, Sliders... Making Sound Creation Longer Than On An Analog One... User"s Interface... Seems To Be The Keyword ! ;-)) Take Care & Excellent Week To You Too ! ;- ) )

[@DearbornJohn]

synths colors Thanx again my friend🎹Have a Good One!

[@LNippur]

I was watching another tutorial and I was not friendly. This is for the increased screen of the SY77 that is in the video and also is not one of the first times you create a sound, so you move with ease by the available parameters. Well done! And thanks for the contribution. A greeting from Bs.As.

[@synthscolors]

¡ Muchas gracias por ver y comentar ! Wow, eso es muy amable de tu parte ... Muy contento de que hayas disfrutado esta "programación en vivo" del SY77...Esta es una de las formas en que se puede crear un sonido en este increíble sintetizador ... a veces empiezo con la "página de Algorythm", otras veces, con el "generador de envolvente OP" ... dependiendo de si estoy buscando o explorando uno completamente nuevo, inesperado... Esa es una de las razones por las que realmente amo la síntesis de Yamaha FM y la otra es que aprendí a programar sintetizadores en la serie SY99, hace años ... ;-) Incluso si me encantan todos los sintetizadores, desde los analógicos a los puramente digitales...la serie SY77 / 99 sigue siendo mi favorita para el diseño de sonido .. ;-) ¡ Gran próximo fin de semana para ti ! ;-)

[@LNippur]

synths colors hey amigo! me respondiste en spanish! Gracias!.Y yo que habia traducido mi msg para comodidad tuya.. je!

[@LNippur]

synths colors te comento otra cosa. vi que lo tienes impecable a tu synth y es algo q pocos lo podran decir. yo lo mantuve asi a lo largo de mi posesion y eso es amor x el bicho no?. y como una de las medidas que tome para tenerlo protgido y accesible al mismo tiempo fue hacerle una cubierta con carton grueso que tapo y destapo rapidamente y me permite ocasionalmente apoyar algun elemento tambien.

[@LNippur]

synths colors si alguna vez las teclas no te responden bien. a mi se me quedaban abajo y la solucion fue sacarlas y limpiar la grasa y ponerle nuevamente grasa para plasticos y vuelve todo a la normalidad... eso si ojo con las lenguetas al montarlas nuevamente. est lo hice hace 1 par de aňos impulsado por el aporte de un user de hispasonic.com. Vaya un saludo para ti

[@synthscolors]

¡ De nada ! ;-)

[@Huskyherz]

Hello dear synths colors, really nice to look over your shoulder !! Interesting to see how you create all this wonderful sounds !! Warm regards Claudia

[@synthscolors]

+Huskyherz Thanks Very Much For Watching & Comment... A Little Surprise... Throughout This "Programming Video"... Could Be A Bit Boring To Watch... But Still Amazing To Hear The Difference Between A Basic "INIT SOUND" ... Turning Into A Nice Pad After Some Programming (Even Without Using All The Parameters I Could...)... All The SY77 Programming Power Wasn't Used For This One ... Definitely An Incredible Sound Designer Tool !!!! Excellent Weekend To You ! ;-))

[@ZoiPana]

Awesome sound!!

[@synthscolors]

+Danai Moraiti (danai2014) (My Thumb up to your comment... is not appearing , sorry about this technical failure !!!) Thanks Very Much For Watching & Comment... ... How Simple, Basic, INIT FM Sound Turn Into A Pleasant, Usable Pad... On The SY77... Throughout Some Real-Time Programming Session... A Bit "Technical" Video ... But Thought That Could Be A Nice, Unusual Surprise For Subscribers & Watchers To Discover The Work ... "Behind The Scene", Ha,Ha,Ha ! ;-)) Excellent Week To You ! ;-)) Moins

Thumbs up from this channel too, my friend ♫

[@synthscolors]

+JennyForParty Thanks Very Much For Watching & Comment ! Thanks So Much ! ... An Example Of How New SY77 FM Synthesis Sounds Are Getting Alive... From Scratch... Allowing To Explore "Fresh" Textures & Atmospheres... Excellent Weekend To You Too My Friend ! ;-))

[@Digithalis]

wow..very great sounds!

[@synthscolors]

Thanks very much for watching & commenting ! Wow, that's very kind of you... behind the scene, for a change ... one way of programming FM sounds on the SY77/SY99 live ... ;-) Really love the FM synthesis... definitely my favorite one for new, unheard sound textures creations... Eine großartige Woche für Sie mit neuen, erstaunlichen Keyboard-Performances ! ;-)

[@dvamateur]

Hi Mr. Synth Colors. I'd like to share my excitement with you. I acquired back one of my favorite synthesizers to complement my SY77. The D-70. It's supposedly in pristine condition. I'll keep you updated once I receive it on Thursday.

[@synthscolors]

Hi, thanks for sharing your excitement with me ! Always a pleasure to get another synth you've been after, especially in pristine collection ... !!! I've been lucky enough to play a little time on one of these superb D70, many years ago... great design, wider keyboard & Roland sounds... perfect to get on with the "wild" SY77 ... allowing wide sounding possibilities ;-)) Wil be delighted to listen & watch it again throughout a coming video from you ! ;-)) Wonderful year 2017 to you ! ;-))

[@DonbeatsPerformances]

Can anyone tell if the presets have their original effects when you are in multi timbral mode. I want to use it as an multi timbral source for my AKAI MPC where I'm sequencing. But I need to be able to have at least 4-5 presets with the original effects (as in patch mode) when i am in multi timbral mode. Many synth disable the effects on multi timbral mode (like the Triton I use now) and they sound really wack. Thanks!

[@synthscolors]

Hi, In "Multi timbral Mode", you can have up to 2 different effects (as for the "Voice Mode")... But ONLY "2 selected effects" (which can be from a "Patch" with identical same settings), where EACH AMOUNT can be different for EACH OF THE 16 voices... IF YOU HAVE 2 OR MORE PATCHES / VOICES with 2 different types of effects, you'll only be able to have 2 effects (as you would have for JUST ONE VOICE) !!! Same for the SY77, TG77 or even SY99 ! Great week to you !

[@DonbeatsPerformances]

thank you so much for the help my friend. so when you are moving to a new midi part does the patch has SOME effects attached or they don't have any effects at all (like it's on the triton)l. because if they don't have effects , they sound unusable and it is very time consuming to assign each time effects on 4-5 different midi parts. and then i will need to save the whole project and continue workin later so i will have to save these new setting somehow too ..so it's become an long process that's kills my creativity. that's why i am asking this question. i watched an video (the Japanese one) where the player used the song mode and he used drums for midi 1, and then he used a bass and a piano for 2 and 3 and i noticed that they all had effects, re4verb ...sounded good and meaty . so I guess i can use 3-4 parts with some effect attached to them by default. the mo6 had the option to exclude the parts you don't need and this way it gives the needed power to use the original effects for the rest of the midi channels.

[@synthscolors]

My pleasure ! When creating a NEW MULTI, you MUST CREATE YOUR EFFECTS (newly one or from existing voice)... as NONE is affected when affecting new voice to a new MIDI CHANNEL within the MULTI ! Effectively, when adding new voice, affected to each MIDI canal from 1 to 16, you have to CREATE an "Effects architecture" / configuration (common to each of them, just different amounts / outputs effects levels can be affected to each voice !) ... And finally getting used to the "same effects" (by DEFAULT) ...for newly programmed sounds making things easier... let's say with some "CHORUS or FLANGE & a little touch of REVERB" ... SOUNDS played, usually are "GOOD & MEATY" ! ;-))

[@barsik4434]

Please, can you help me with my SY77? I can't understand one thing: can I write more than one track in [pattern] mode? In [song] mode when I press [rec] I can switch tracks by 'memory keys' at the right part of panel, but in [pattern] mode it doesn't works.

[@synthscolors]

Hi, I've never used the "Chain Pattern mode" to be honest with you, but according to YAMAHA SY77 Owner's manual, you have to : use the "Chain Pattern Mode" (Page 38 & 40 of the manual) : In the PATTERN MODE, * For the 1st PATTERN ... you have to record (Press PATTERN, then Press RECORD) ... Press RUN to START RECORDING... Once done, the SY77 Screen will show "PATTERN01w" * For the 2nd PATTERN... Press RECORD to make RECORD LED Light & MOVE THE CURSOR TO THE UPPER RIGHT & Select PATTERN02 ... Press RUN & PATTERN RECORDING will begin ... Press stop & PATTERN RECORDING will END "Place the PREVIOUSLY RECORDED PATTERNS into TRACK 16 ... * Press SONG & then EDIT to enter SONG EDIT MODE * Press 16 to SELECT track 16 (the PATTERN track for EDITING * While EDITING track 16, you'll be in CHAIN PATTERN MODE * Move the cursor to the right & Press F2 ... To enter a REPEAT BEGIN MARK for PART 001 ;;; THEN press enter * Select PATTERN "01w" for PART 002... PRESS ENTER * In the same way, Input PATTERN 01 for PARTS 003 & 004 * Pattern 02 for PART 005 * For PART 006 press F3 , Use -1 +1 to specify "x 7" so that the ranges of parts between the begin & end repeat marks repeat 7 times (for example !!) being sure to press ENTER TO ENTER EACH PART When chain pattern editing finished, press EXIT to RETURN TO Song Play Mode Press RUN & you will hear the newly edited "Chain of Patterns" ... Enjoy it & excellent week to you ! ;-))

[@barsik4434]

Synths Colors, it seems that sy can't record more than one track in one pattern. Strange and sad. Thanks!

[@synthscolors]

Again, I haven't used it for its sequencer so far, but for sound design ... but, excepting the "Chain Pattern Mode" it doesn't seems that other tracks will allow other "patterns"... ... Unless affecting drums to MIDI 15 , 14 ... within a given COMBI & RECORDING THEM in REAL-TIME ... in SONG MODE ! ;-))

[@rotalsst4931]

Woww . Das ist aber interesant..
