Dual-Engine FM Synthesis and Creative Control

What distinguishes this model is its true dual-engine architecture: two fully independent FM synthesis engines, each with 6 operators and 32 classic algorithms. Real-time assignable knobs allow instant access to sound parameters like stereo width, filter cutoff, resonance, and portamento. The intuitive panel interface and a comprehensive software editor for Mac, Windows, and iOS make complex patch design approachable. By loading sound libraries from the iconic DX/TX family, you expand the sonic palette far beyond factory presets.

High Polyphony, Layering, and Sound Design Depth

Expressive FM performance relies on deep polyphony and a flexible architecture. With 128-note polyphony confirmed, even demanding arrangements are supported. Run two 16-voice FM engines independently for rich, layered textures and complex split setups—perfect for modern gigging or studio work.

• Polyphony: 128 — enjoy lush, layered sounds without note dropout even in dense passages
• FM Synthesis Engine: 6 operators per engine, 32 algorithms — achieve complete digital sound sculpting control
• Assign real-time controls like filter, stereo width, attack/release, and velocity for performance tweaks as you play.

Program Banks, User Expansion, and Library Compatibility

Onboard sound memory holds 256 timbres, organized into 8 cartridges: 6 fixed factory banks and 2 user-programmable banks. You can customize, edit, and store your own sounds, then access them instantly from the panel or through the editor. With compatibility for Yamaha DX/TX sound data, decades of legendary FM patches are available for immediate use.
