Synthesizers

As the title says, I am new to the Yamaha SY77, and I'm making a split voice with piano on the left and sax on the right, and I want the sustain footswitch only to affect the piano. (How) can this be done? It was trivial on the DX7 II-D with a Split-mode Performance, but I can't seem to find a setting on the SY77.

Having programmed the DX7 (II) for a long time, and having read the SY77 manual, I had no big trouble finding my way around the 77, but this one baffles me. I would consider it pretty vanilla to be able to sustain piano chords with the left hand and and then play unsustained lead lines with the right.

In most respects, real-time-controller-wise, the DX7 II seemed more flexible, even though undoubtedly the SY's synth engine is much more capable.

This time its a more minimalist jam.

I recently got the Roland S-1 and T8, so decided to try to make something simple while learning how to use them

Found a great deal at a used gear shop…actually a new unit open box. Digging the workflow and vibe. Already recorded a few tracks with it!

Looks like an interesting idea. I like the daisy chain option. Analog, portable, and $500. Not bad. Curious what you all think?

Picked up this little guy last week and have already cleared the presets and started making my own. Any tips or fun stories about Microfreaks?

I’ve used this on the Switch and it is pretty neat. It would be pretty awesome if the VR implementation is good enough!

Wonder how this idea will be long term? Losing come cables would be awfully convenient for those who perform or have smaller spaces especially.

Which one? For the sake of theoretical questions …let’s assume you could have any synth…not just what you already own.

Sounds like they are goners. Hope they didn’t have your favorite plug-in or at least you have the installer still!

Oh shiny new FM synths! Who has an original opsix? I hear good things.

Fascinating how this developed! I hadn't even thought about the history of it.

And...I just bought a mk1....

Another Moog knock off! Behringer is bringing in the heat.

Now this is fascinating! Wonder who will use this one a hit album?

So much more floor space! Also thinking about a Jaspers stand…anyone have opinions on them?

This looks intriguing. Wonder what sort of graphics card will be needed to run this when it hits production?

More acquisitions. Curious if they will integrate the different systems.

Curious if this is good or bad. What do you think?

Trying to work towards my first album. I have two songs mostly completed and a few in various early phases. I am not much of a drummer so the DrumBrute Impact has been…instrumental in implementing some beats.

I am actually excited about this. MIDI has so much potential and I am curious to delve deeper into the specs to see new possibilities.
