this is why we keep one of these in our studio. its a great machine when you know what you're doing. thanks for the excellent soundtrack to my next 8 minutes of email answering / keep up the good work!
One of the best $100 investments I have made. Picked it up used over a decade ago and it's great for the ambient stuff as well as a very passable Solina String Machine patch. Pairs great with my Korg Wavestation. Sadly no filter at all, and of course even the Wavestation filter is lacking. At the time Yamaha was making these units they owned Korg, and having bought out Sequential and their employees they went down the vector synth route post Prophet VS. Sequential was probably the main reason for these vector machines. Sadly the synth chips Yamaha were using in this time frame did not have any resonance in their filter design which is why no resonant filters are on the Wavestation or M1 machines. At least the software and iPad apps have fixed these shortcomings to a small degree. The TG33 is still worth it especially with the polyphony that ambient patches require.
TG33 is great for vector synthesis and can be had for excellent prices. Very capable unit, just requires some menu diving. The lack of filter is a drawback but the synth still sounds great for what it does.
@@synth4ever Thank you, I got a couple of days ago and I have been designing with like crazy. Using an editor really opens up with those extra hidden FM options.
Great relaxing moment ! Thumbs up & thanks for this musical "flashback"... as the TG33 was my 1st synth ... fabulous for soundscapes & with highly dynamic drums & sounds... Happy Easter to you & keep sharing these ! ;-))
the tg-33 is a great gritty little synth,i have one that is circuit bent and you can bend the sample rate down but also cycle the waves with a patchbay input,i once connected it up to a bent akai s01 and got the machines patched together, they talked to each other!,the result was very odd cross-talking random sounds.
Well Done Man! Loved that piece! As soon as I get a chance to do so, I'm gonna pick up my Spanish guitar and try to augment this with some of my ideas. Keep up the good work!
I have Korg Wavestation which is a big old heavy beast of a 61 keys keyboard and it has vector synthesis but you cannot use the vector joystick with every voice, it just doesn't work, it works with some voices and that is it, it's good but not brilliant, whereas your Yamaha TG33 which I have never even heard of before and I only stumbled across your video by mistake sounds great and looks small and lightweight too, I really like it Thank you Glen :-)
The Quantum looks great but I haven't seen any videos that blow me away yet and it isn't cheap. I don't have any other synths that sound like the XT which is why it's a keeper(well for now). Personally I prefer my Waldorf Q and my next big purchase is an OB6, but that's the sound I'm currently after. @@shawnsaul7759
I had one of these about 60 million years ago. I really do, to this day, regret gettign rid of it, to finance my first XG Synth. Ok, at the time it was a thing that I was glad that I did, but now I have a few XG synths and no TG33 That said... I remember a sound on the MT32 that I loved and miss, and when I bought the MT32 again, the sound was not on it... I paid well over the odds for the MT32 too!
@@bwest6275 poor little baby has a fit when he's told the truth. god you're boring. shut up and work harder on your music. hey who knows? maybe you'll amount to something yet. Toodles..
Nice Synth... Nice fade out, I thought that my phone was dying.
Vector synthesis! Good stuff. CZcams needs more tg33 clips.
Yup! Thought it was time to break out the TG33 and try some vectoring... :)
Will certainly post some more clips of it, stay tuned.

Thanks mini, it is definitely a fun little box... very surprised with it, actually... looking forward to exploring further. :)
What a beautiful tone! The most accurate way to use this synth. Bravo!
Thank you very much! It's a very fun synth to explore.
Very nice use of the internal panning and efx. It's a lovely instrument. I love to layer mine with a K2000.
Thanks... yes, lots of possibilities with this synth, and I'm sure it sounds great when layered.
Very nice! One of the best TG33 demos for sure!
Appreciate the kind words, thanks for taking a moment to listen!

Very nice :), I have just bought one, should be here this week..
Congrats! It's a fun little synth.
@@synth4ever Thank you, I got a couple of days ago and I have been designing with like crazy. Using an editor really opens up with those extra hidden FM options.
I keep coming back to this piece. I really enjoy your work and appreciate what you're sharing with us. thanks!
Thank you Paul, happy you enjoyed the music and demo. TG33 is decently versatile and a great way to try your hand at vector synthesis. :)
laid down and listened to the entire piece in bliss ty!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the trip! :)
I've just acquired a TG33 on extended loan. Looking forward to making stuff like this. Awesome demo!
That's great to hear. I'm sure you will enjoy it. It's pretty quick to get the hang of, just do a quick read of the manual first.
You've encouraged me to set up my TG33 !
That's great news! I'm sure you will enjoy getting back into it. :)
I want one now. smooth tone
Cheers Bill. They are readily avail on 2nd hand market so grab one when you get a chance.
Yea thanks, already lookin'
I love this thing! the vector synthesis is so awesome and fun!
It's pretty cool!
Great relaxing moment !
Thumbs up & thanks for this musical "flashback"... as the TG33 was my 1st synth ... fabulous for soundscapes & with highly dynamic drums & sounds...
Happy Easter to you & keep sharing these ! ;-))
Thank you! It is certainly an interesting unit, great for drones, soundscapes and morphing between different timbres/textures.
Yes, indeed ;-))
Just got one by accident. It is now my greatest thing next to the 303, 606 and QS6,1. Landscapes are coming ♥️
Happy accidents are the best. :) I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with the TG33, it is a great vector synth for creative and diverse sounds.
Thanx for a really lovely ambient soundscape. Loved all 8 minutes of it. Great stuff!
Thanks for listening and your feedback, I appreciate it!
Einfach Super die Kiste
the tg-33 is a great gritty little synth,i have one that is circuit bent and you can bend the sample rate down but also cycle the waves with a patchbay input,i once connected it up to a bent akai s01 and got the machines patched together, they talked to each other!,the result was very odd cross-talking random sounds.
That sounds very cool! Did you circuit bend the TG-33 yourself or did it come like that already? Would be interesting to hear some examples. :)
Uhh, post of a video of that, please.
Well Done Man! Loved that piece! As soon as I get a chance to do so, I'm gonna pick up my Spanish guitar and try to augment this with some of my ideas. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot! Enjoy the jam.
Göttlich..........
I’d like to think that the guys at Elektron watched this when they were designing the Digitone. Cool piece.
Thank you!
I have the sys22, the sister to this, and I love it!
Awesome! Vector synthesis is a lot of fun no matter what model.
Mine just arrived today :)
I need this synth @@geecen
Sh!t I have 2 sy22's comming my way
Man! You are one hell of a synth programmer.
Thank you brother!
Very nice work - well done mate !!! :D

Thanks Glen, the Wavestation is a bit more complex but I like the TG33 for its quirkyness. They are fun little units.
Lovely! awesome little machine.
Very cool!! Would love to see (hear) more from this machine
Thanks! I will be posting more in coming weeks. :)
What a curious synth.
Agreed... its a fun little box, great for sonic exploration.
cool vid
Thanks for watching.
Excellent!
fantastic!
You've already cost me a Waldorf XT and Waldorf Q. Now a Yamaha TG 33. Your channel is becoming expensive for me.
Hehe... blame the synths, not the artist! :) They are all worth it in the end.
Riktenstein I bought a Waldorf XT as well!! But now I’m wondering if it’s worth keeping or selling to fund a Quantum. What do you think?
The Quantum looks great but I haven't seen any videos that blow me away yet and it isn't cheap. I don't have any other synths that sound like the XT which is why it's a keeper(well for now).

I love this one so much, and the synth. Reminds me of the soundtrack in the Maxis game Spore, (by Brian Eno of course) :)
Thanks! Spore's a classic, and Brian Eno needs no introduction. :)
Nice!!
what is the parameter you modify in real time there with yes or no buttons?
Very nice! A+++++++++++++++++
Thanks for listening!
Oops I just bought one “again” ❤😅
Hehe... they are so much fun, always worth picking up more than once. :)
What a weird knob thingie! very nice though.
Hehe... yes, it is a bit wierd but the knob lets you control and morph between 4 different sounds at once! :) Lots of fun to be had.
I had one of these about 60 million years ago.
I really do, to this day, regret gettign rid of it, to finance my first XG Synth.
Ok, at the time it was a thing that I was glad that I did, but now I have a few XG synths and no TG33
That said... I remember a sound on the MT32 that I loved and miss, and when I bought the MT32 again, the sound was not on it... I paid well over the odds for the MT32 too!
The TG33 is a pretty cool synth, just takes a bit of digging into to get the most out of it. They are still out there though! :)
Kool sounds... Is the arpeggiaton coming from the synth, or is it external via midi ?
External MIDI from Roland V-Synth
Very special synth, beautiful demo :)
Thank you my friend. TG33 is certainly unique!
Did ou keep the TG33 ? I wanna meet the creator of this thing ; awesome jam
Yea, I still have the TG33 for now. It's a pretty fun unit! :)
care to share/sell your patches ?
NICE....Delay and Reverbs from the TG33 ??? Sounds like Shimmer ..please help me...i Love it!
Thanks, all sounds you hear are directly from TG33!
This is a very close ally to the SY35
Yep, same engine pretty much, TG33 has double the polyphony though.
@@synth4ever no kidding; I woukd not have expected that
TG and SY22 were 12-bit and the later 35 16-bit thus the 35 sounds cleanest/sparkly of the 3. I prefer the TG more myself.
@@squishmusic that's interesting.
i see you say it's sequenced by a random arp.
is that internal?
what are you using to sustain the notes?
does the tg33 have a internal sequencer
Random arp was sent via MIDI from Roland V-Synth. Note sustain is an envelope setting (release time) in TG33. The TG33 does not have a sequencer.
👽👍
Its a synthesizer? I thought it was guitar tone generator. Was gifted 1 during a job.
Yes its a synth, a vector synthesizer to be precise. Its a lot of fun!
@@synth4ever im gonna make some 1980s style synth-heavy rock songs, then foray back into my beloved trip-hop with the added bells and whistles.
No Eventide Space in this?
No, only used TG33's internal effects.
Thanks. That's a pretty robust machine then.
What's relaxing about this? The frenetic pace? The high pitch? Yuck.
