I think people who say things like "DX7 sounds brittle and lifeless" just never figured out how FM works. The DX7 is capable of producing some of the most lush, organic sounds of any electronic instrument I've ever heard. Not lush in the way that a Juno's chorus is lush, but in the sense that the sounds can be full of nuance and texture if you know what you're doing. I guess synths like the Juno-60 and the Minimoog just sound great all the time, which is really handy if you're not a veteran synthesist, but I think dismissing the DX7 as "just an 80s pop keyboard" is ignorant, and you'd be missing one of the deepest, most capable synthesizer engines ever conceived by humans.
That pad here at 5:29 and sound at 9:36 are just superb. It does show how capable is that synth. Most people regret the DX sound because they just play presets, as programming is complex.
Agree with you. A lot hate for the DX in the world. The biggest problem was never the synth. ;)
You can get some fantastic sounds from just the algorithm settings alone. There's many reasons why it's one of the best selling synths of all time.
Alan Wilder played one in his live keyboard rig throughout the music for the masses tour. Good enough for the Mode, so good enough for everyone! ✌🏻🎶🕶
I've had a DX7FD for almost two months, which I got expressly to learn how to program FM. Yes, there is so much music and sound design potential in FM that I feel people overlook it as a synthesis technique. Preaching to the choir here perhaps. I always want music and learning a synth to be a discovery process and FM does not fail there.
Sounds awesome as usual! My DX7ii FD just arrived....can't wait to get it home and play with it!!!
Thanks a lot
I had one of these when I was younger... much younger. LOL. Such a great board. Got it in early 1989. Sold it in 1997.
great synth ,really original sound of those decades
Indeed!
Oh,, what a beauty! I admire your creativity again and again.
Спасибо большое
Right on time video! I am searching for this for my synth collection.
Enjoy!
Man, right at the start, instant horror movie vibes!
yes :D
Great synth. I got an E board laying about. Never used. Powerful synth if you get into the Fm side of it.
indeed :)
I always liked the look of this synth, but the quadra below it takes first prize.
Haha. Yes agreed.
I once found a non-working Quadra at a pawn shop (it turned on and made some odd noises, but playing with controls didn't do what they should have) for under US$400 and wish I had the money then to buy it anyway and see about getting it working. I think it was fairly pristine cosmetically.
Thanks, sounds incredible!
thank you so much
7:37 , Retrosound intro :)
yes :) ;)
Wow! You got some wild patches today!
I am in Wild Mood.👻😁
i have one...since 1990. i bought i new and it is still in my playroom. afte some repairs and fixes of some buttons and a repai of some keys it looks like new and works fine.
i think i never sell it, because it is easy to program and it sound so so gooooood! :)
agree with you
@@retrosound72 my biggest wish is a version with 88 keys heavyweighted and polyphonic aftertouch ....... a little nice dream.
@@anotherwolff3650 sound like you'll have to source a DX-1 then! Good luck, even Yamaha had trouble finding one for their museum.
I like the Yamaha so much i got the new 88. An had to have a old dx7. But found the dx7 2. Ventage. There both too beast.
great synths
Красиво, правда малость мрачновато. хорошо, что днём слушаю)))
:))
Как по мне, то как раз это и здорово!)
Best sounds I've heard from a DX7. Thanks RS : D
Wow, thanks!
Wow, that choir @5:27!!! How!?!?
Wow! Some great sounds! I have always been a great fan of the sounds these DX Synth are capable besides from the awful presets you mostly hear.
Glad you like them!
YO! That first patch is amazing! You GOT to show me the parameters for that sound! It sounds so good!
Thank you
Pretty awesome patches!! Guess its time for me to open dexed and make some new sounds for my DX7. ;-) Cheers!
Go for it!
I might have to sample some of those into my digitakt 😀
Go for it!
Super Demo Thanks , Super Bass(?) sound at 7:38 is it a factory Patch or you make it ?
Thank you.
Self programmed stuff
Loy Order brought me here
The patch @1:45 which plays the scale is great. ;-)
a bit Vangelis mood
Original Intershop 🤣❤️🎼🔈👍
Aber echt mal. :D
Hello,
I have a question.
Are these all stock DX7 sounds or does this come from that Ram4 Cartridge.
Especially the sound at 6:55. Love the Terminator vibes.
I really, really liked the sounds!
Most are sounds made by me and from the Web.
Amazing job!!!
Is it possible to load those sounds into a dx7s?
Do you have the patches available?
thank you
Sounds great, a lot thicker than the presets ...
:)
are those sounds available for purchase? :D
Sorry if this is a dumb question, how important do you think the E! board is for the type of sounds in this video? Is it still useful?
Not soundwise but you Have more possibilities for creating.
@@retrosound72 So all of the patches in this video are single, 6-operator patches, and not DX7II bi-timbral layers, and not E! multi-timbral layers? (i.e. The patches would sound almost identical on an original DX7?)
What are best retro and modern keyboards in your view?
Yamaha AN1x
Amazing!! Im in shoot of an dx7 ii fd,what is the differces betwen fd and d?? I search fd mean floppy disck,but the d models i see in youtube have cartdridge too, im a bit confused,are the same model?? Or one is best than other?? Thanks!!
A matter of taste and what you need. The synth engine is identical
Where does the delay come from ? Internal delay because of the grey matter ? Or an external delay ?
External delay
Is there a way to contact you? Have questions!!
When you have questions than tell you here. The community can help maybe.
Does it factory patches of fd2?
No factory sounds
Klingt stellenweise nach Mega Drive. Hatte das nicht auch einen FM-Chip?
Ja, ganz genau. 🙌🎶😊
@@retrosound72 Ah, dann ist mein Hirn doch noch nicht ganz verkalkt...
I still prefer the Mk.1 DX7, although this is good
Both are fantastic synths.
Not sure if it was Dx7 mark 2 which did A-Ha s Sun Always shines on tv song. I think it was.
Mark II had not come out yet by then...
@@JuanCarlinMusic oh right not sure what preset Mags used on the original in that case
A-ha used the first DX7 on these song
