      Hello,
      I bought the patch collection and loaded it in the FM8. However, I can not identify the Blade runner sound in the collection. (Maybe FM8 converted the sounds erroneously). May you tell me the name of the "Blade runner" patch, please?

    Nicely done 👍. The long feedback algorithms (4 & 6) get overlooked as they can progress into noise quickly, especially algorithm 6. Many forget the carrier doesn't have to be at 99 for output level. You can finesse the harmonic balance of the main saw wave from the OP5&6 pair by playing around with a lower OP5 output and higher OP6 level at a given feedback.

    Now I'd like to hear a CS-80 do a DX-7 electric piano. 🙂
    I've come to the conclusion that the main reason why we don't hear more of patches like these, or that we had to wait 40 years for them (I've also heard French horns, and a really food acoustic piano) is that it's virtually impossible to tweak some knobs and find pleasing sound as a happy coincidence, as happens with subtractive synths.
    I've been toying with the idea of using AI/neural networks to 'listen' to sounds and recreate them on a Yamaha DX synth, but there are two problems:
    1) I know next to nothing about neural networks, or how to program them.
    2) I need to fix my TX802, it being broken the reason why I got it cheap. Although that could probably be remedied by using Arturia's software version.

      @BenjaminDehli  3 місяці тому +1

      I think the best way to see it is to download it when it's released. It's a bit hard to explain, at least with my limited English vocabulary. But there are basically 3 pairs of operators. Two of them are a "pad" sound in different octaves. The third has the feedback and is a more "brassy" sawtooth sound. Each of them modulates at a slightly different rate and is also slightly detuned from each other. It is algorithm number 6.

    Shows how powerful the DX7 is. Is that the brass patch with some subtle programming and envelope trickery? Same DX7 as mine, OG one is the best. Nice video!

      Thanks a lot 😃 It's made from scratch with 3 pairs of operators in parallel (algorithm 6) 🤓 I prefer the Mark 1 as well 🙂

      To my ears, the original has a bit more character than the II, but the II was way less noisy and you didn’t have to mash the keys into the floor to get any volume out of it even if it tended to sound a bit more tinny than the first gens. The 81Z was a decent compromise.

      @@esSKay25 I never tried a mark II myself, only heard audio comparisons, but I got the same impression as you describe 😁 The DX7II seems a bit cleaner and thinner and the DX7 seems a bit dirtier with more noise and distortion.

      @@BenjaminDehli The mkII has some advantages but despite the fact that they're patch compatible, they're really 2 different instruments. The OG build quality is also better. I've had mine since 1984 and it's still solid as a rock and the keybed is probably the best from that era.

    I owned a DX27 back in the late 80s, alongside a Jupiter 6. The difference between analog and digital is so clear on this demo. Too bright, lacks the warmth of the filters and the envelope.
    Hey, well done for trying to get the sound, but it doesn't really quite get there.

    • @OudeisEimi

      Funny that the JP-6's envelopes are digital (generated by software, actually)

    • @BenjaminDehli
      @BenjaminDehli  3 місяці тому +2

      The digital nature of the DX7 is what I love about it. I like different synths for different reasons. This was just a fun experiment (at least for me) where I used the synth in my possession that I considered to be the most different from a CS-80. I had no expectation that it would even sound remotely close 😁

  • @Wulfhard1965
    @Wulfhard1965 4 місяці тому +3

    This is ridiculous. So harsh and clinking. You can play the melody with any modern synth, but it never sounds like the warm CS80 plus the studio effects.

    • @GeorgeLocke
      @GeorgeLocke 4 місяці тому

      Clinking? For my money the mod index is a bit high on the brass, and the nasal lead is a bit piercing, but I don't feel you.

      All it actually needs is to hit tape. The CS-80 is certainly very expressive but can sound a bit anemic unto itself without effects.
