Vox Continental sounding patch on the Yamaha SY 77

Here is my little experiment on creating a wannabe Vox Continental sounding patch with my good old Yamaha SY 77. Far from the original, greatest Vox organ, but better than nothing...
For the other SY 77 owners out there, in order to make a patch like this start with an empty patch in mode 1AFM Poly, then choose the algorithm n. 45, where all operators are summed in the output (no FM synthesys here, only additive synthesis). Then go to the OSCILLTR section and for all operators choose RATIO for Freq Mode, turn to ON the Phase Sync parameter, and the Detune and Init Phase parameters should be 0. This for all operators, then configure each operator as following:

OP1: Wave Form: 2 - Coarse: 0.500
OP2: Wave Form: 2 - Coarse: 1.00
OP3: Wave Form: 2 - Coarse: 2.00
OP4: Wave Form: 3 - Coarse: 3.00
OP5: Wave Form: 3 - Coarse: 4.00
OP6: Wave Form: 2 - Coarse: 8.00

The operators are configured to emulate the Connie's drawbars as following:

OP1: 16' Drawbar
OP2: 8' Drawbar
OP3: 4' Drawbar
OP4 + OP5 + OP6: IV Drawbar

After done this adjust the filter at your own tastes, in order to cut some high and hissing frequencies which can be boring in the final sound.
Hope this can be useful!

Wow! fantastic! You have got also some commodore computers xD !

[mima14031985]

@PrincipediLiverpool Grazie per il tuo commento :-)

Beh si, qualche Commodore in collezione ce l'ho, di cui uno (Amiga 1200) fisso in studio ed attaccato al mixer, per quando voglio godermi un po' della musica che solo quella macchina sa fare ;-)

NIce! Love the Doors... (893165009, you're a asshole)

@swanny2070 Thanks for your appreciation.

893165009 can break balls to people somewhere else as he's permanently banned from my profile and my videos ;-)

like that bit at the end :P any chance on a tutorial?

[mima14031985]

@WESSERPARAQUAT This actually is meant to be a tutorial on how to obtain a Connie-like sound on a SY-77, in the video description I also written how to build the patch. Well, it's still far from a real Connie, I know, but with a guitar amp with a bit of overdrive the sound become much closer.

@893165009 AHAUHAUHAUH I offended the troll (you). Just what I wanted to do. Justice is done!

Now suck some big african cock and instantly vaporize yourself out from my videos (from the world it would be even better my friend!).

And let me continue to get you angrier by notifying you that I'm going to block your account, so you'll be no longer able to answer this comment. And I won't erase anything, so everyone could realize what kind of being you are simply by reading this little "story"

@893165009 Wow attention folks, there's a piano teacher here, play with the right fingering or he'll get angry.

For your information, I'm taking piano lessons since 3,5 years and I know what's the correct fingering for a chromatic scale. This is only a DEMO of a SOUND (not a SONG), where no fingering nor correct playing is required. If you want to see correct fingering just go to see the other videos in my profile.

And as on your profile there aren't videos of you playing, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
