Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi guys,

anybody ever tried controlling any of AFM synths from Yamaha (SY77,
SY99, TG77) from BCR2000? While some aspects of the synthesis engine
are really "digital" (like feedback loop - only seven values, with
rather distinctive jumps from 4 to 7), I think some of them would be
quite nice to have under the knobs. I keep attacking FM every now and
then and I really think it would take a great advantage of more
"hands-on" control. Some examples would include controlling the output
levels of operators, as well as parameters of envelope generators;
maybe tuning the operators, or even selecting their waveshapes. Of
course it can be done only thru SysEx.

Yes, I've heard about NI FM7 and FM8 :-) But I still prefer hardware...

Anyway, any feedback on this would be interesting, I hope not only for me.

(I was also thinking about controlling Korg Wavestation, but apart
from using two knobs for joystick movements I cannot come up with any
other ideas. I find the patch architecture of WS highly cumbersome -
while the sound is very convincing, the way of organizing the stuff
make it the Rube Goldberg machine of all synths *ever*.)

Regards,

Bruno

It's always good to respond to own posts...

A quick look into the "Files" section revealed DX7 presets by Royce... thanks!

Hi, Ihave BCR2000 , DX7 and TG77. I have tried to control DX7 only. I haven`t had time to hook TG77 together with BCR. 
Have you tried to add some of special SY/TG77 parameters ?  At least filters or so ?  
It could be interesting, may be I will try to deal with this combination...

I'm mostly interested in FM part of SY77, just for the sake of better
understanding it, so it deliberately put the filters on the shelf for
the moment.

I had to print the SysEx specs and spend some time with them, maybe
this week... so I can start adapting the DX7 layout.
