    Phi Mu Labs: Origin

    Here goes the first demo for two dual packs of patches for Yamaha DX7/TX7 and all of their ilk provided those are 6-operator+ synths, hardware or software. I’ll make them available later this year, separately and with Korg wavestate version of these timbres.

    FM adventures

    I’ve owned Yamaha DX7 for many years. Got it second-hand in a working, but cosmetically drastic condition. For a time being it was one of the keyboards I used religiously both on stage and in studio, considering it much more of an ‘honest’ synthesizer than any ROMplers I owned aside from that.

Earlier today I’ve cooked up a 16-minutes long ambient demo featuring some of the sounds. No other synths, no external effects except for a featureless limiter on the master bus…

    The list is growing

    Yet I’m trying to shed the thought I’m doing it all wrong and the effort is rather pointless – there are so many premade patches for Surge XT already, who would even take a look at the newer bunch. To hell with that, anyway. While making these patches I’ve actually learnt a thing or two,…

  • 17 patches so far

    This is roughly 1/5 of what I plan to do. Custom wavetables, etc. Mostly ambient stuff that, hopefully, will work in other people’s mixes too. Surge XT is great. I thing I was spooked off it with a somewhat difficult interface. Now, however, I feel it’s very intuitive and cozy. And sounds is preeeeetty. :-)
