At this moment I am completely flummoxed about the KZitem algorithm. How has this video existed for an entire year without appearing in my feed?! I watch (and search for)countless Digitone and Rtym MKII videos. Maybe I can find comfort in the fact that it’s a sign that AI bots aren’t able to replace us. They can’t even deliver decent search results?! Outstanding Guac Dude! I subscribed without looking at any of your other videos.

have to admit I cannot actually play this Chick Corea tune at that speed ... recorded it at half the tempo into a Cubase MIDI track, then played back at double speed, recording the audio from Digitone at that speed. Combined this with the vid played back at double speed. Same with the Kenny Kirkland solo at the end (there, this “cheating” is also revealed in the captions :-)

apparently Jonny Greenwood himself had forgotten it was a sample first ... according to de.wikibrief.org/wiki/Idioteque, he recorded 50 minutes of improvisation on a modular system including some samples, and gave the recording to Thom Yorke. Yorke found the piece that then became “Idiotheque” and loved it; and Jonny first thought he had also created the synth part on his modular. Later he realised it was one of the samples he had taken from the 1975 compilation “First Recordings - Electronic Music Winners”, which he had found in a 2nd hand vinyl store

Not to forget that Digitone can be played also without FM. It can be configured to play as 2 oscillators per voice analog synth. I think there was already some some sounds in this clip very analogish in nature although I can't be sure how patches were created. However very good demo of versatility of the DN.
@TheGuacamoleXplosion
2 жыл бұрын
Yes and no ... ANY Yamaha FM style synth can also be played without FM, if you only use carriers and no modulators. But on most of them, you will only get sine waves then. Some more modern FM synths offer additional basic waveforms. Digitone offers an additional waveshaping feature; but it has its limits. To my ears, you cannot get very close to an analog osc square or saw sound with this waveshaping. The classic FM trick of generating saw by same octave modulator with feedback, and square with one octave higher modulator with feedback, works much better for me on the Digitone. And you can do this same trick on the DX7, and even better, since stacking 3 operators can also get you a useable saw wave, and the DX7 can give you a stack of 3 operators PLUS a stack of 1 operator + 1 modulator w/ feedback. So, on the oscillator side, a DX7 can get closer to a 2 VCO per voice analog synth. However, the Digitone clearly wins in the filter department. Digitone has a decent virtual analog filter. And running two parallel carrier/modulator pairs (one with Feedback, the other with some waveshaping) into that filter can give you quite good virtual analog sounds. I created the “Money for Nothing” lead and the “Africa” synth brass sound in this vid that way.

@@TheGuacamoleXplosion Interesting insights. I haven't got that much into FM. Usually finding new sounds is kind of trial and error. For me that is OK as many times I'm not trying to reproduce any specific sound just to find something interesting. I had to take my DN out to try and you are right that it is not that similar with true analog saw if you just run modulators parallel and dial waveshape to look like a saw and keep all ratios as 1. It seems to lack higher harmonics and also it has still little bit of that "bellish" FM timbre. That FM trick with feedback seems to do a better job. Setting waveshape to 0 (sinewave) and then fiddling with feedback and operator level can get closer to a true analog saw. With quick googling Africa's brass stabs were originally created with CS80 (analog) and that calimba with GS-1 (FM synth). Money for nothing intro's synth pad with DX1 but not quite sure about those stabs along the song. Anyways you did great job creating those analog style synths with DN and they worked great in musical context although they might lack character in closer inspection if compared to true analog synth. Usually they are few who actually listen actual sound of synths that closely that they are bothered with such small details.

Are there tools that helped you reverse engineer the sample into the distinct FM synth voices? Or is it all down to knowledge and a spectrogram? Thank you! 🙇

Hi Riley, thanks! No tools involved, not even a spectrogram, only my ears and about 45 years of making music 🙂 But yep, the DEXED software really helped me to learn FM, as shown in the vid ... being mainly a guitar player, I’ve occasionaly been programming synths since like 1988, but never really delved into FM synthesis until recently when I got the Digitone
