Info about YAMAHA TG33:
The TG33 sound module is a slightly enhanced key-less version of the SY22. It is a digital synthesizer that employs frequency modulation (FM) synthesis combined with low-fi (12-bit) AWM ROM samples. However, this machine is not low quality (especially for the electronica-oriented musician). Its preset sounds are a bit thin, however using the joystick controller you can manipulate and combine the 12-bit samples with the any of the 256 FM vector voices. This gives it a range of tone and sound that is as dynamic and mysterious as other vector synths such as the Korg Wavestation and ProphetVS.
Also available is a drum kit, effects, 16-part multitimbrality for layering sounds and 32 note polyphony! Definitely a powerful little beast that can create pretty nice sounds with lots of motion and character. With its wide range of sonic possibility, the TG33 has what it takes to create unique sounds that will keep you and you're music sounding a little different from the rest!

6:54 - 7:40 is magical... wow
i'm so glad you like it! I think it was the most fun and bizarre synthesizer I've ever tried, I miss it a lot ❤
One of the most fun and easy to use synth modules around.
totally agree with you, i really miss it, so great
This is exactly why people need to wake up to the huge possibilities of this synth. Put the work it, it will deliver something unique! Had mine since 90.
Fantastic demo!
thank you very much, i'm so glad you like it! 🍻
A laptop and a mouse might be "makin beats" but this is CREATING MUSIC. Big difference :)
daaaaaaamn ❤️👍👍
That beat at 8 minutes is RAW.
I agree & also, many times they "get down" on synths they've probably never even played. But it all comes down to the creativity, of the individual using the synth/instrument. I've heard people do things on an old, $40 Casio Casiotone, that sounds cooler/more interesting then stuff done w/$100,000 worth of professional studio gear. I have great, expensive, modern synths which I love & also vintage 80's synths & even a cheap, Yamaha PSS-100. Sometimes I like trying to get the most, w/the least.
Great sounds in the track starting around 4 mins, the short sequence before the next beat starts. Great work. Getting a heavy Italo Disco feel from the beats too, pure awesome cheese!
Yeah, strong italo vibe here, like it! I have TG33, and I've done stuff from classical to acid techno. Will not sell :)
When I listen to your music I think I must find one TG33
but I won't have your talent !
This is how to present a synth! thanks
More proof that a low end instrument in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing will always beat an amature with top end stuff.
love the italo-balearic feel of the track starting at 11:30-13:00. nice work!
Keep returning to this again and again... Really has a unique vibe that just gets me every time. Great work Nacho
im so glad to know that Mike!
And wow, I was only a few minutes in and didn't realize this was 14 minutes long before my last comment! Amazing range on this demo.
WHAT DO WE WANT
the hidden sysex parameters ✋🏻
WHEN DO WE WANT IT
now ✊🏻
please explain
There were a ton of parameters on this synth that could only be edited by computer, and so if you were able to access those through software, it would really open up the programability of the synth.
JJ Mifsud Which is why I purchased two of the overpriced expansion cards for my SY35 off ebay instead of making/editing voices. The DX100 was so much easier to mess with.
Yes, some parameters are hidden and there was an adaptation for a great synth editor, a manager for LOTS of synths whose name I forgot, maybe Sunddiver.
jonnda but this isn’t a dx100
Couldn't find a TG33 so I settled for a K1m vector synth... Still want the TG. :D
K1 or K1m is beatiful synth, love Kawai stuff
Super beautiful 80's sound at 12 minutes on!
Love these patches and your compositions. Pure 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Thank you for posting!
i'm so glad you like it EJ! 🍻
If only these weren't so rare! :)
I've had either an SY22 or a TG33 for 17 years and this is the best full track I've ever heard with it. Nice italo vibe going there and your custom drums are sweet. I haven't used this thing to make a snare drum in way too long.
i'm so glad you like it mate! 🍻
Yeah, that track @11:30 is the jam!
best demo ever of that MF tg 33 ! thanks !
Already got one. Mint with 5 RAM cards. :D
this is true talent thank you i just bought one of these!!
i'm so glad you like it, thanks for the good vibes mate! 🍻
off the hook!
You're a genius bro, Much respect. AMAZING ! Peace
thanks for the good vibes mate 🍻 peace!
Really good job, I like the part that starts at about 5 minutes 10 seconds.
Marty these synth demos are absolutely fantastic. Some amazing sounds and programming.
hey Mick! i'm so glad you like it! 🍻
A lot of synths dissed by people can probably sound amazing when someone who knows what they are doing is playing them. I don't understand people at all, getting down on machines that were probably used to great effect on great music. Some really great music was done with very simple synths!
Really nice detuned leads at 7:30, getting shades of Aphex there.
Very nice, VERY nice.
When I say "limited", I mean polyphony, internal FX, etc. Personally I love both modern & vintage synths, though I don't much like VST. (& I don't have any pure analog synths (I have a few hybrids) I have 14 keyboards/sound models, among them is a Korg Kronos X & a Casio HT-6000. I don't care if a keyboard is vintage or analog. I only care If it has a sound that I like. :-) I'm interested now in getting a TG-33, Korg DW8000, Casio C1-1 or 5000 & some other vintage Casios. (VL-1, MY-68, etc)
12:03 😮
Nice work! Used to have one of these...moved on to 'supposedly better gear' but now missing the wonderful things this gem can do. And that is well demonstrated here...showing that, juust because a synth was 'cheap', it doesn't necessarily mean it's sounds are cheap/inferior. You just have to 'draw it out' and you've done that very well here. Two thumbs up!
Amaziiiiiiing sounds n video. Will be getting :)
Love the Chastiz string sound you've got
👍
Cool!
There's like 4 of them on Ebay right now. $180, $230, $245 & $280.
wouldnt tell it low end. It so deep, you can tweak it forever
nice sounds brother!
Awesome. Have to follow you at SoundCloud. I have TG33.
great!!!!
Excellent demo! Just found out about this synth, just after buying a prophet vs. This ones multitimbral, dont think the VS is
You compare this to a Prophet VS? Why not also compare it to a BMW and a Samsung Microwave Oven?
nice - terminator
the songs are from you?....there are very good!
Will check out your bandcamp resource. Meanwhile here's some tracks I wrote solely on the TG33. I should really post more to my soundcloud. I also used only the TG with no external effects or mixing, which does leave a somewhat clustered 12-bit sounding bad production. I recorded direct to analogue cassette. So not great production quality but 90% of the sounds are original non-presets, so this is also a good showcase for the TG33 sounds and as a multi-timbral performance. Hope some find it useful and ofc enjoy some tracks. soundcloud.com/squishmusic/sets/from-the-analogue-graves /squishy
my fave preset was that at 13:54
- dark menacing pad! :=))
Made me buy one too. Really nice tones, they your own patches?
cool! yes I made the sounds for the demo
I just found your video. Right now I'm awaiting my TG-33 and your video has me so so so pumped! Do you have any suggestions, resources, etc? Did you use a patch editor or just raw-dog the menu? This is beyond impressive.
cool! in this case I didn't use any editor, it's a very friendly synth to program / edit, you'll see, pure fun, I miss it a lot

@@NachoMartyMeyer awesome! Some digital synths seem completely unapproachable, others require archaic editors. I have been looking for a 33 for a long time since it seems to be friendlier.
@@NachoMartyMeyer it is indeed friendly and so so much fun! Mine has crazy low volume output, though. I'm going to have to dig in there.
@@connorflynn1885 f*ck! check the power supply, try another one, with the correct specifications, one day the power supply of my TG33 started to "fail" and I thought it was a problem with the synthesizer, that problem was like a "fade out", playing the synth I had attack and then suddenly lowered the volume, I try another power supply and the synth started working properly
super demo kurwa
excellent sound creations! btw what sequencer did you use, software or hardware? the tg33 has no sequencer inside right?
These demos are dope! After a long time I finally found a TG33 in very good condition in a local store, but they're asking $230 ... is it a good price? Maybe I'll be able to negotiate a bit
I have SY35 which is great, but I still wonder if I should get a TG33 for more grit in the samples and polyphony... hmmm 😃
The SY35 has some improvements over the TG33 and SY22, and is perhaps more "hi-fi", it's a very personal decision, for me they are all great
Any chance you will be releasing these as standalone tracks? Sorry if you have already.
Does this have an ARP feature built in? I seem to hear that in the beginning.
wicked, sounding very good.
do u know how to program other fm synth,like the sy35
.
+reaz allykhan sy22 ,tg 33 ,sy 35 are the same in program, and there is not too much to program. There is opinion about those being heavy to program ,god knows why.
the only parameter for fm synthesis is feedback (works more or less like low pass filter )
+Chrząszczyświerszcz Chrabąszczyżowąski mate...I've had this keyboard for years...I wanted something that sounds like a dx...I don't like menus ...prefer knobs...so got rid of it
Doyou have a sy35? how are the keyson it?
The FM parameters: Tone, FB and of course the preset timbre. I wish there was tone envelope too! They are in the hardware, and some preset timbres have different envelope for level and tone - until you edit the level... confusing, but it's kind of a bug in a way. Some FM sounds can have nice "filtering" release, before editing the volume envelope.
Wow! How much of this demo includes your own programmed patches in the synthesizer? Also, did you use a DAW for the sequencing?
Additionally, have you also got (or ever owned) one of the SY keyboard synthesizers? If so, is/was it comparatively easier to program and sequence?
ShreadTheWeapon I have a SY35. I don't even bother trying to make my own sounds with it, beyond just messing with the "vector control". Instead, I recommend hunting down a MCD64 and installing sounds on it from the Internet, or a bootleg cd with sysex voices on it. Alternatively, tgere were at least three rom voice cards available. I bought two of them for the fun of it. Expect to pay $60-$125 per card. Way over priced if you ask me, but whatever.
@kevin porter This is the item I bought to obtain the preset files:
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112646774351
The ebya seller is named Doctorsynth_2001
I had a bad experience with buying from him, as he was out of town or something for a long time. Your experience may very. If you can't seem to get in touch with him, I can send you my copy. I'd rather that you try to deal with him first.
Most of these sounds are not presets. They may have come from Data cards but it sounds to me (10yrs using the TG) like the OP has created most himself. Its an easy synth to program from the front panel albeit it laborious. Sounds like some daw sequencing or hardware. Probably a bit of mixing/EQ etc on the mix as I know the sound direct from the unit is a bit duller and only one effect can be used across all 16 parts. So an outboard FX is needed or record track by track into DAW with different FX. GREAT SHOWCASE for the TG33 though. Im very happy I stumbled on this and now wish I had my TG33 still!
Marty, I left a comment on your Casio CZ-5000 video/post. Can you PLEASE read it & reply, ASAP? I am looking at a Casio CZ-1 & a CZ-5000 on Ebay & I need to know if the CZ-5000 is velocity sensitive. (& after-touch). I've been searching, but I really can't seem to find that information online. (weird)
only CZ-1 is after touch and sensitive
How did you sequenced this?
FLStudio 10
are these tracks on your bandcamp?
hi Tim! yes, some tracks, not all
What is responsible for the arcade patches granularity beginning at 9:44. Is it LFO? Is it a single or a multi?
I do not remember exactly, but I think it's only a short delay (effect of the synthesizer) and is a single
+Ignacio Marty Thank you! Could you please tell me the Video software you used to attain the arcade visuality?
There is square wave LFO for sure (for the granularity/arpeggio), then the sound changes (L - R - L - stereo) like vector control is being slowly moved around, then effects edited, then FM parameters...
Thank you! OMG. Some might possibly think my second question "arcade visuality" is the same as about arcade granularity. I better change it to video software. Thank you for answering the first question.
DFG Visual fx: begin with posterize effect (photo editing), just watched once but I don't think there's much video effects but surely you can do the same with video, drop the number of colours, change contrast, saturation. Doesn't have to be so complex.
