    Best FM 90's rack

    Yamaha TG77Published on 06/29/14 at 13:58
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    nothing more to say that has not already been said

    I specify in case: it's a rack! so no keyboard or knob or floppy or sequencer.

    otherwise it is exactly the same as the SY77

    UTILIZATION

    never edited sounds except for edit effects here and there.
    very clear manual and French.

    which is very handy when you want to change its sounds (like the SY77), a shortcut is typing on the keyboard (so phone) No. 3 of the digits + "enter" and hop. Of course, you must be knowing by heart and then you have a little dry anti wisely stuck with a piece of "gaffer" in a corner of the keyboard and hop ...

    SOUNDS

    TG 77 and SY full of breathtaking banks on the net.
    thousands ..... could not even listen or test all the ones I found.

    the problem is that when you load a new bank, you have 64 sounds that you test and often (at least to me it makes me) when I switch from one to the other, it inspires me a tune and then I spend an hour etc, etc, etc, in short I enjoy very much.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had more than 15 years, I keep it. for the moment the battery is still original and display lighting as well, change will come one day.

    I leave this review to share my use only.

    I use it to enrich the "big sound". "Travel" or other sheets are excellent .....!! As "brass 1980" or "Nasty saw" that are almost the same, but one octave lower and one with reverb. This is quite handy as needed. but these two ring, ring!!

    I put the TG in duplicate or triplicate with a P60 and SY77. it makes me sound underworld. but take the time to find the right combinations and the right set of volumes and effects. But the result still holds the road very well after all this time ..... and today's new sounds!
    this is a synth pulse strong. attention tell the mixer to balance, it will be a shock if this is a beginner.

    The only fault I find it ..... (for a machine of this age), it is to cram the stage not too far from the keyboard for easy access. The best I found was in a "fly" rigid 4u standing with a block in the back to tilt slightly. it's obviously very unstable and should not play basketball next. but my feet left or right is best with my means "stand" and then also it is very easy to assemble and store.
    when you start to have three or four gear for a keyboard it may not be as complicated as a battery, but it takes time because nobody makes me in my place.

    in short, all the sounds of the 90s in box. just a little larger (see above).
    which is nice, they are 8 independent outputs the first 8 midi channels of a multi. it allows to mix analog "apart".
    the only limitation here is that if you make yourself a multi for each sound which consumes few resources, you will bring down the polyphony (including date of 1990). also be careful with its use. this is also why I wanted one when I noticed this problem with the SY77. even at that time I did not have the P60.

    in short it is a machine that does not get old. course for now it sounds a bit light. but for sound imitation B3 is impeccable and the last born are not much better for the equivalent sound.

    I do not think it is necessary to repeat the characteristics of the beast once again.

    UTILIZATION

    For my part I do not find very complicated to use, I have never yet had a yamaha before.

    The use is almost instantly, I could load sounds in sysex in without great difficulties. The issue is quite annoying as many menus / submenus, but ultimately it's pretty organized, and we found it pretty quickly once you understand the trick to ...

    SOUNDS

    So it is especially the part that pushed me to write a review, I agree with almost all TG/SY77 opinion, the dynamics are excellent, convertos D / A to the hair, the sound is bright, the low round In short you happiness sound side.

    I hesitated before buying this product (it was me in the eye for several months in a local cash express, and then I finally sold, I do not regret finally!) I was pleasantly surprised having a lot of much more recent than that stuff, that TG77 surpasses almost all dynamic levels ...

    I'm not particularly a fan of AWM (completely out of this side, which is normal) but it is interesting to be able to use with FM synthesis. This is especially the demos sounds found right and left who had made me hesitate, but I love the fiddle sounds, so here it is served, the synthesis of the TG77 is rich in settings, there's the What fun. That said the basic presets are not bad to be, have there is typed sounds this time but perfectly usable today (they are people who return to the same mode).

    Overall I love the color, richness and dynamic sound that emanates from this instrument, and I find it more inspiring than the much more recent products.

    It is important not to use it to look for realism, but rather the color of an era.

    The expression is excellent, velocity, aftertouch, etc. ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since yesterday so hot reaction!

    Yes I have tried many other synthesizers, expanders, and other workstation that can compete.

    What I like most is the dynamic and fullness of sound, what I like least is the lack of physical control for sound editing (I think dev me a template for lemur on ipad history can edit sounds live.)

    The value for money for the opportunity is excellent, I would do this choice (that said, it is a targeted selection, not be used as a single expander, the risk of having a poor result!)

    the synthesis of the synthesis of the 80

    Yamaha TG77Published on 08/24/12 at 12:05
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    The TG77 is the rack version of the SY77. This is a multitimbral digital module which dates from 1990 and offers a fusion of FM synthesis (called AFM) and the sample-based (AWM2). These basic elements can be treated with a well-supplied filters, envelopes, LFOs, etc..
    FM synthesis is greater than the DX7 with more algorithms and waveforms, besides filtering capabilities. For its part, the part is AWM2, but becomes interesting when it mingles with FM.
    The module also has a fairly comprehensive effects section for the time. It has a memory of 128 preset programs and 64 user. It is built like a tank, so virtually indestructible. His only weakness is the LCD aging badly.

    UTILIZATION

    With a few buttons, navigation through nested pages and thousands of program settings, the TG77 is a great example of marriage between complexity and extreme ergonomics repulsive! The K2000, which is comparable to that point of view, seemed more accessible. There is a clear need to invest a lot of time to tame the beast, effort that I have not yet provided. I guess that is the price to pay for access to the paradise of sound designers.

    SOUNDS

    The sound of the TG77 is both good quality and very distinctive. It is better to ignore the effects are poor and focus on what it can produce fabulous synthesis engine gratified by A / D converters as they no longer made. Result: slamming bass, organ and electric pianos convincing, brass generous, ethereal pads to wish some good sounds and even pseudo-analog ... Obviously, the reproduction of instruments and samples exceeded will delight the nostalgic. Apart from that, it can get very original stamps and particularly crystalline. For the record, the famous soundtrack by Vangelis in 1492 owes much to this instrument.
    I will illustrate all this with a demonstration of sounds essentially based on presets. I preferred to keep the internal effects because they characterize the machine but I regret it because they tarnish somewhat the result: http://www.arts21.net/fr/french-yamaha-tg-77

    OVERALL OPINION

    The TG77 gives the impression of being a cross between a Yamaha DX7 and Roland D50 and Korg M1. Even if it is only a rough vision, we find out the nature of this generation of instruments. This is a kind of synthesis of what has been sublimated product after the 80 analog, whether for better (specific sounds) and for worse (interface difficult to access). Two decades have passed and have been very few machines match the hybrid engine. I appreciate the tonal character of the instrument as well as ergonomics repulses me! One day maybe I will have the courage to dive into the depths of its programming ...

    SOUNDS

    Then it was quiet all fans of synthesis Debrid this synth is for you, in fact it is composed of a sampling (AWM) and an FM (AFM) in large part fm is the equivalent in much better now a TX802 with eight generators DX7 effects rack with 6 operators and more complex FM synthesis reshuffles, with more sy manager you can transcode banks dx7/fm7 and load them into the TG77 is no astronomical to do with synthesizers plugin pouetpouet all geeks small funds finding their sound beautiful, tan or sy has a soul and a potato to do is cry a bike magnifique.les effects are good but I had a couple Quadraverb , the expression and the key word of this synth but beware I think the keyboard version there is a wheel over so you need to configure your keyboard, all sound of DX7 or afm, synthesized sounds beautiful for those who love her.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Since 1991 with my sy and recently I bought a tan for 280 euros including postage not even the price of a plugin crap.
    considering the price report is exellent
    no problem, but this machine is for the old school who loves the sounds rather than loops chick who spends the music of ejay ouarffff .....

    The TG 77, not important to me to buy it back, I keep it, I suck prfre roots to sell such a beast to buy a bread.
    It is a beautiful BCAN, no doubt, and even the original sounds in they are not villains. But there will always be a patch or two of not good, but shit, it's a hell of a sound module.
    Saw the coupling AWM 2 + FM, I found a Workstation complmentaire genre SY 85 for example.

    But here is not to make the electro blip blip like Trance or horse race on the dancefloor what not done for the right sound s'apprcie and not break the head . Music still means something today?

    OVERALL OPINION

    Ben me So much for the YAMAHA only, uh, I have
    1 TG 77
    1 SY 85
    2 Tx 81Z
    Compressor 1 Gc 2020B
    1 Amp YAMAHA
    etc etc ...

    But also the ROLAND, KORG, KURZWEIL etc etc and 2 cans of stewed his groovebox kind of weird that I use is Savatte night.
    Ah if I bought a Yamaha 200 Year, funny, its too rotten and too serious, boring.
    The thing is he well stick a midi keyboard and play on the synth patch, the more fun it is and I found the trunk YAMAHA, for the rest, I prfre old beasts sounds .

    I took the head dernirement with a DJ techno trs bote kid of 15 who I had the RFLEX to get 2 or 3 pieces loops chick, the he said fuck em man it's the old 90s, yeah man, however he was crying on the audio quality, no touch on his console, not funny?
    Yeah problem with the DJ, not great and the mp3 Vsti! There are two fawns of grate sound, make an asshole and pieces that survive and not the other things a little more beautiful and rare.

    Any problem today does not report anything, and not ask because of what it is, at least the purists, I advise to keep your old machines, they have in their ent circuits and we will return.

    The TG77 is the rackmount version of the SY77, without the sequencer.
    It is polyphonic 16 voices for the part FM and 16 votes for the party AWM (advanced wave memory).
    4 effects can be put together.
    8 audio outputs + 2 + 2 main sub-main.
    Midi In Out Through.

    UTILIZATION

    The manual is very clear, but the difficulty lies in the programming of sounds: not less than 1200 parameters for a sound. In addition, the FM is not simple.

    SOUNDS

    Do not try to get a good sound of piano or guitar on the TG77.

    I bought in the mid 90s.
    It is a synth that must be understood that if you already own other synths.
    If you like to take the lead during the nights, this synth is for you.
