![]() ![]() I was unable to distinguish any discernible difference between the FM7 patches and the original DX7 or its descendents. ![]() The FM8 converted patches do not sound "tight" as a result of this phasing problem, and ironically sound LESS like the instruments they are emulating than the original DX7 patches. I have an extremely good ear and have played acoustic music all my life (alongside electronic music). I am basing my criticism less on how much they sound like the DX7 than how unmusical they sound. I don't buy the argument that the higher resolution in FM8 makes the sounds themselves more accurate and that I am simply used to the original DX7 sounds. I think I remember them suggesting that changing resolution might restore the sounds to their original glory. I discussed this issue with NI at Winter NAMM, and do have some notes from that discussion but they are currently buried (I moved recently). I am unable to use FM8 for traditional purposes as a result, but am hoping to find a way to correct the FM8 sounds to match the FM7 and DX7 originals, as I will not be able to use FM7 once I upgrade to an Intel mac later this year. This is most noticeable with melodic percussion such as marimba. This is my first post here, so please excuse me if this has already been discussed, but there is a lack of phase coherence in the FM8 versions of the patches. ![]() The FM8 converted FM7 sounds are quite different and not at all to my liking.
