Classic FM Synths

2010-06-18

The Yamaha GS-1 is an early FM synthesizer, the grandfather of the DX series. Many of the classic FM sounds were born on this machine. The outputs have a bit of a noise floor, which make the sounds grainy and can be clearly heard in these samples.

The Yamaha CE 20 was the unit that bridged the gap between the quite expensive GS1 and GS2 units, and the later commercial superstar, the DX7. Our samples are from all the six polyphonic preset FM-patches on this unit.
