Great sounds! Need to find the time to program my TX81Z soon :)

awesome stuff man, I'll have to bring it to the table now

I went searching for some cool examples of the TX81Z and found this track. Totally in love with it! Great work!

What better way to get to know a synthesizer than making a track with it? I decided to get over the insane difficulty of programming the Yamaha TX81Z, my first FM-synth, and dive into its core only to discover a very interesting and deep machine with lots of possibilities. All sounds are self-programmed except the famous lately bass sound and some additional percussion.

"The Yamaha TX81Z is a 4-operator digital FM-synthesizer module from 1987. It is basically a rack mount version of the DX-11, which makes it a cheap and compact source of Yamaha's 4-op FM-sounds. What makes this one interesting is the ability to use waveforms other than just the classic sine wave when programming FM-sounds. A true quality semi-vintage synthesizer for a low price, definitely a keeper!"

Yamaha TX81Z "Frequency Modulated"

~Unreal Music with Real Synthesizers~

An electronic synthesizer music project formed in late 2011. The Modulation Wheel creates atmospheric soundscapes with various influences ranging from classic synthesizer music of the 70's to inspiring electronic music of today, such as trance, ambient and new age music.

Originally The Modulation Wheel saw the daylight as a project name for various sound demos related to an article about a certain vintage string synthesizer. Later on more songs were made under the project name with the idea of making music with unique vintage synthesizers of the past.

From there on, the sound of The Modulation Wheel has evolved and now includes various characteristic synthesizers and sounds, both analog and digital, while still preserving the original idea of making diverse electronic music with real hardware synthesizers and sound machines, and without any limitations.
