The TG33 has been a secret weapon in my studio for many years - I'm quite defensive of these unassuming little beasts.. frankly the biggest mistake Yamaha made was calling these things "Tone Generators" - I mean, what!?? -hook up an external midi joystick, ditch the cheesy factory patches, have a play making your own patches and explore a world of remarkably fluid sound and interesting textures for a fraction of the price of some vintage synths covering similar sonic territory...

1990 Yamaha TG33: Vectorwurlde..

Testing out a 1992 KORG Wavestation SR new to the studio following some minor repairs.  Although sporting its tiny screen in 1U packaging, the SR was the smallest in the Wavestation series, but it was by no means a cut down version in terms of its synthesis power.  Although a fair few of its multitude of its factory patches may now sound very dated, it is still a very capable synth capable of remarkably complex and fluid timbres and textures even by 2023 standards.   The problem is harnessing this power and the fact that programming such a beast has a rather steep learning curve to say the least!  That said, there are still some real belters to be found among all those stock patches and a lot more out there on the net to load up and explore...

1992 KORG Wavestation SR: Letterbox Dreams...

"This is the original score of one person’s journey marred by struggle and darkness, but survived through perseverance and release. To my ears, Healing Fatigue sounds like yet another example of an artist unleashing their most vulnerable self to the world—an act of defiance."

Shattered Dreams

Testing out my beloved 1986 Prophet VS after replacing all of the tantalum capacitors.  Twice in as many months this beast had let the smoke out due to failing caps so I though it was high time I did something about it!

This is a patch I programmed a few months ago whilst trying out the superb new Stereoping hardware patch editor - heck did that little box open up this wonderful digital-analog hybrid vector synth...

I have always liked the sonic aesthetics of cold crunchy digital into warm analog filters!

1986 Prophet VS: The Rezzodrone...

I made this test recording today trying out my new MIDI Joystick I built to remotely control various vector synths in the studio and decided to dedicate it to my fellow vintage synth guru John Leimseider who tragically and unexpectedly passed away on Saturday 16th September 2018 at 66 years old.  

John was the one I aspired to as my golden standard for many years now - a talented and kind engineer driven by sheer passion and what must have been the patience of a saint!  I miss shuttling emails between us exchanging our unique experiences working on some pretty rare and exotic vintage studio gear over the years.  We had helped each other out on a number of occasions when we'd got stuck.

Our community has lost one of the best..  Rest in Peace John...

This piece was made with a Korg Wavestation A/D and an AKAI S612 kitted out with a Hideaway Studio Front Panel Animator both modulated from the MIDI joystick.. the sample start and filter cutoff in the case of the 612.
