Aurochs4 « This is the synth studio 90s »
Published on 06/18/13 at 05:09I think everything has already been said!
Lack a USB or Firewire port, but in 1991 .... ! For 1991 it is simply the top of what we were doing.
UTILIZATION
If we're talking pure use of the machine, we can not say that it shines in its simplicity knowing that the number of parameters is very high on the SY99, this can prove to be daunting on. I myself have struggled with many SY all that characteristic of being complicated synths. Yamaha SY and the doc is imperative, little is intuitive, fortunately the doc is quite clear and can quickly learn to use the main functions, then everyone has to try to improve. Even then we could do better. Editing software is highly desired to operate the machine in its nooks and crannies. The sysex model is super chiadé, as well as on EM 6400-U, a priori it is more bug from OS 1.4.
For live games is not Peru, SY99 sorely lacking direct access sliders as the SY85 (which I also have) 8 sliders that allows direct access. It is super convenient to melt sounds or other parameters. Little is also the option to control surface and programming. the sequencer is wide, and it was a revelation to find, is that its use is not super intuitive. Comparatively speaking a K2000/2500 fared better on the interface hummain / machine. Now when we give a little trouble this musical instrument reveal a VERY BIG talend.
SOUNDS
THE SOUND of SY99 is not so typical as it can be for example a D50 or Juno, or a. The one is on the synthesis of high quality FM with 6 operators.
most of SY99 are its two internal effects, they are actually very good and the aural exciter (Aphex) in prim really gives sound to the instrument. the two effects are SPX900 is the same chipset. (SY85 and SY99) are fitted, there is little to chain or put in parallel. It is also capable of outputting a very detailed that take up space.
I love the layers that you do with a little SY in the synthesis and mixing waves. I also love the attack, the very grain of the DX on the piano, just as we appreciate the power of synthesis and doing are very particular sound effects. It is happening everywhere, it is not too hit by the time we just use it in without fear of ringardisation composed of "listen too."
the keyboard is very good, goes well aftertouch years without losing too much sensitivity to even say nothing.
OVERALL OPINION
I had 2 is in all. A 1998 to 2001 and I sold it. I was bought a while option 5 RAM expansion card in 2010. I dolled up. I was very happy to give a little FM synthesis of high quality in my compositions, not mine it really brings a touch DX7, but the dynamics and sound fine. I do not think resale. Also note that this synth is one of the best built I know, it's really a synth pro, the quality of plastics, excellent internal mounting (on metal structures), the strength, the choice of component, the layout is really pro and very thoughtful. You may need as much change the backlight after 20 years is normal, all the synths with this type of display happening.
The sound of SY99, keyboard possibilities, have been my choice remake with no regrets, I'm very happy to have this instrument.
