🎶 ☠️ 🤍 Jeez. I've been doing this electronic music composition for awhile. ;-)

Note that MacPlus. That little computer opened up a world for me!

The keyboards are a Yamaha DX7, en Ensoniq-1, and a Roland Juno 106

A photo from  a Sonoma State University campus publication showing a woman sitting at 3 synths surrounded by sound tech gear including rack-mounted mixers and effects and a MacPlus and hi=speed casette recorder. The copy reads: Music major Maggie Martin composing at the synthesizer and macintosh in SSU's newly remodelled, state of the art Electronic Music Studio.

Ach. Ach. Laute Musik. Im äh Esels-Ohrensessel mit dem Grand-Old-Scheff: „.. und wenn ich mal hochkuck‘, dann seh ich den Telelefonhörer..“

und spätestens dann weiß niemand mehr was er hier zitiert. *Schnaub #wirham86 #yamahaDX7 🎹🖤🎶🎵🔊🔊

Another wonderful interview by @savetz, this time with Tom Zimmerman, part of the four-person team at Atari that worked on the never-released AMY sound chip: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_

Tom comes across as an absolute gentleman.

His description of what the AMY could do is terrific. It synthesised audio using up to 16 oscillators for the fundamental and harmonics to build rich, complex sounds. It could also be run "in reverse"; quoting Wikipedia:

An input sample could be run through a Fast Fourier transform to extract the spectral pattern, and then that pattern could be input to the AMY to set up the oscillators.

Tom contrasts the AMY's design against FM synths like the #YamahaDX7 and sample-based synthesizers.

Tom's words of wisdom at the end of the interview are wonderful too. A recommended listen, even if #Atari isn't your thing.

Amazing tear down of the #YamahaDX7, the first commercial FM synth. Understand the 1980s thru the music and the cutting-edge electronics.

hexter is a Yamaha DX7 modeling software synthesizer for the DSSI Soft Synth Interface.

hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank files, edit those patches via a built-in editor or MIDI sys-ex messages (ALSA systems only), and recreate the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any previous open-source emulation.

Read a piece online yesterday that was saying that Brian Eno's Ambient 4: On Land was made primarily with a Yamaha DX7. But it came out a full year before that instrument hit the market. The later Apollo album had lots of DX7 on it and probably the least typically DX7 sounding material ever made with that instrument (I had a TX7 back in the day. I never really grew to like FM synthesis).

It's been a while since I've recorded a new track, but tonight I've recorded one (with 8 channels) straight to my Zoom R24 using only my Yamaha DX7S and Yamaha QY10.

I'll master the mix later, but it's fun to get back into making music! :blobfoxhappy:

All track status icons are green, the master track status is red.

The volume indicators for each channel are of varying levels but all 8 are active.

Built my mixing/recording rack and brought my digital (Zoom R24) and analogue (Tascam 424) multi-track recorder over.

Just need a better way to connect the speakers on the other side of the room and I'll be ready to rock!

I now own a Yamaha DX7S synth from the 80s! :blobfoxaww:

I am very excited, but I won't be able to use it until I can get a 100V step-down transformer.

Stay tuned for some jazzy tunes from this iconic 80s synth!
