Yamaha Synths (was JP-8000)

[Matthew Allen]

but wait there's more

SY series fm Synths:

SY77
SY99
TG77

the 99 lets you use PCM data (raw samples) as carriers or operators ... way
to much fun.

Hello all ...

  Since there seems to be conflicting info on Yamaha's FM synths, here's

  the deal: (at least as far as my memory serves)


  DX-1 = 2 DX-7's in one HUGE case with lots of bells & whistles

  DX-5 = 2 DX-7's in 1 case, not so many bells & whistles

  DX-7 I = the original DX - 6 operator, 12 bit / velocity / aftertouch 

  DX-9 = 4 operator, no velocity / aftertouch

  DX-11 = 4 operator (w/ 8 waveforms a 'la TX81z), w / velocity /
aftertouch (I think...)

  DX-21 = 4 operator, velocity / aftertouch

  DX-7 IIs = 16 bit DX7 w/ UNISON and performance memories

  DX-7 IId = 2 DX7 II's in 1 case

  DX7 IIfd = 2 DX-7 II's in a case + floppy drive / sequencer

  DX-100 = 4 operator strap on board w/ mini keys no velocity /
aftertouch.

  TX-7 = Module of the DX-7

  TX-802 = Module of the DX-7 on steroids,... :) Performance setups,
etc...

  TX-816 = 6 DX-7's in a rack (128 voice polyphony!!)

  TX-814 = 4 DX-7's in a rack

  TX-812 = 2 DX-7's in a rack

  TX-81z = advanced 4 operator / 8 waveform multitimbral rackmount

  V-50 = TX-81z + sequencer + effects + drums + disk drive + keyboard

     WHEW! I think thats all you EVER wanted to know about Yamaha's FM
synths,

     (but were afraid to ask...)  %^P
