| THE COMPLETE TX-7 and TX802 FOR FM8
Every preset for the TX-7 and TX-802 rackmount synthesizers, the lesser-known siblings of the DX7 and DX7 II. If you thought the TX-7 was just a rackmount/tabletop DX-7 -- well, you're partly right. In terms of its hardware, yes, it was. As such, it represents a very affordable way to get your hands onto the 'brain' of the legendary DX-7 for a price even a student could afford. However, its patches represented a later point in Yamaha's development of the now-legendary "Eighties Yamaha sound." Moving away from the primitive first steps heard in the DX-7's patches, these patches were more conscious attempts to emulate natural instrument sounds, and represent the embryonic versions of the patches found in the later TX81Z, which then reached their most sophisticated and final form in the legendary and rare Yamaha V50. Consider the DX-7's patches like the "strong first album" of a band, and these the "demo versions" of the band's second and third albums. You'll note the first serious attempt to create an acoustic piano on the TX-7, as well as the recognizable predecessor of the V50's "E.Guitar1" in its E.Guitar patch. (Note: sometimes, such as this case, the A and B bank versions of the patch were identical. This is not a glitch.) The Female Choir patch evolved into the V50's vocal patches, adn the BC Flute patch also evolved into the V50's Flute, itself an evolution of the DX-7's famous FLUTE 1 preset. This synth really marks a change of direction for the Yamaha FM sound! The TX802's hardware consisted of a pair of DX-7's, which could be played bitimbrally (pairs of patches at once). (While FM8 cannot do this, I've included the manuals to allow you to load two instances of FM8, each with one preset, and send the same MIDI sequence to each to get the same effect.) Its patches continued in the "realistic" vein, featuring some more great "transition" patches between the DX-7 sound and the later V50 sound, including the at the time acclaimed EbonyIvory, BowedBass, and the ahead of its time SilvaTrumpet. By this point in the family's development, it was clear Yamaha was losing interest in the "wacky" synth effects that made the DX-7 and its early siblings so interesting (patches like "Hole in 1," "Takeoff" or "Laser Gun"), in favor of the more realistic sounds of real instruments. This transition marked the beginning of the end of the FM era, as sample-based technology would prove much more suited for this sort of work. The missing link between these synthesizers and the V50 is, of course, the excellent |
