This week we're going to take a quick look at the Yamaha TX81Z which was an affordable 1U FM synthesizer released in 1987. • Whilst other FM synths are more revered, (DX1, DX5, DX7) the TX81Z made a name for itself because it contains sounds (particularly the Lately Bass preset) that became favourites for producers in the late 80s and early 90s. • In fact, the Lately Bass equivalent on the earlier DX100 called Solid Bass was equally popular. I've listed a few well known songs that used either of those versions of the sound below. • In this video we use that patch (and others) as well as related sounds to make a (not very serious) track in the style of the era. • Sounds / gear used: • Yamaha TX81Z (with Stereoping controller) • Roland Cloud TR-909 • Roland TB-303 (midi modded) • Arturia KeyStep Pro • AMS DMX 15-80S • Roland Juno-6 • Korg M1 Organ patch • Vocals recorded with an AKG C414S • // • Lately bass / Solid bass examples: • Orbital - Chime • Whigfield - Saturday Night • Ultra Nate - Free • Technotronic - Get Up • Freddie Mercury - Living On My Own (1993 remix, not the original) • Real McCoy - Another Night • Inner City - Good Life • Black Box - Ride On Time • Culture Beat - Mr Vain • Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Theme • Tony Scott - That's How I'm Living • Color Me Bad - I Wanna Sex You Up • Madonna - Express Yourself • Ace of Base - All That She Wants • Janet Jackson - What Have You Done For Me Lately • Bizarre Inc - I'm Gonna Get You • Corona - The Rhythm of the Night • Haddaway - What is Love • Social: • / alexballmusic • / alexballmusic
