Synth FM 4 operators 8 waveforms, 8 algorithms ...
8 voice polyphony, it seems that did little but in reality if properly used it rarely sounds gn for example instead of putting a very long time loosening the key pr frez put rather a global reverb, as has a polyphony will not block!
taken midi in, out, thru, mono output (left) and right (combine the two for a stro) pramplifie headphone output connectors for pedal ... it's pretty full

USE

Operation is simple enough, except the multiplayer mode that I not too First and seems rather complicated (a can play up to 8 DIFFERENT instrumentals, assignable to each midi channel).
you can edit directly on the synth sounds but it is quite limited. I bought a midi cable and thanks to a publisher for PRVU TX81Z we can very precisely programmed sounds! (TX81Z is similar to the YS200, so if you are looking for an edition of sounds utility does not search for "YS200" because you will find almost anything)

one can also play .mid synth normal, it's fun to hear his MIDI with FM sonorits !!
the manual is clear no problem this cotbr />
SONORITS

Cot realism is not too but it was not what we want an FM synth! whatever it may reproduce certain sounds fawn trsraliste like bass, organ and flutes. FM normally is not good for the sounds of "strings" (string ensemble) but it's amazing there's presets in the strings that sound good!

given the age of the synth I was expecting the whole rotten effects but dtrompez you, they are dirt very well damn! especially reverbs that are in good order. I do not like the distortion effect but hey everyones taste her ^^
ngatif a dot anyway, the answer is the key vlocit! there is almost no volume cart I normally cheeks or strong! rglage of the vlocit almost is useless because it does not increase the dynamics, acted as if we reduced the volume ...

aftertouch is good but only after doing some manipulations: the old synth aftertouch tends to become very hard for a more open playable synth and you will see two potentiometers on the circuit of the keyboard, put them to a minimum and you'll need less force on the buttons to activate the effect aftertouch.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I bought used are quite a few weeks, it's my only FM keyboard so I can not compare top.
he cost 180, he was in an almost new condition, person would have thought that this synth is 15 years old !!
I think I would do this choice because FM is the best way to learn is the creation of sounds without dpenser a fortune in the soft synths rcents using AWM waves ...
