dit is eigenlijk de opvolger van de oudere [respectvolle dikke fm vlaggeschepen]
yamahas
de x5 /ex7 zijn volgens mij tussen station ri. de motifs
2e hands denkik te scoren voor4a500 egt reuze synthhese vormen
inclusief sampling alaa3/4/5000 series sampling ok quality
dus 4 osc ast ware ; maar dan heb je de keuze uit ook nogs 4x div synthese
voor elke osc bron ,...egt best bizar asje der over nadenk veel intressanter dan een jv / xv roland workstation

The EX-7 features a unique Extended Synthesis system which incorporates a number of the most advanced tone generator technologies currently available...plus a full-featured sampling system. It offers a Four-Element Voice structure which allows for up to four independent waves from any of the tone generators. The tone generators implemented here include AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) Synthesis, AN (Analog Physical Modeling) Synthesis and FDSP (Formulated Digital Sound Processing) Synthesis. According to Yamaha:
"AWM is Yamaha's original system for effectively using sampled waveforms in synthesizers and tone generators. The strength of AWM synthesis lies not only in its extraordinary ability to "shape" and control the sound of the samples with a comprehensive system of envelope generators, filters, key scaling parameters, modulation, and more. AWM voices can have from 1 to 4 AWM elements. Each AWM element can use a preset wave or a sampled waveform. The ability to combine AWM elements means that you can, for example, combine separate samples for the attack and sustain portions of an instrument's sound, with independent control over each.
Yamaha AN Synthesis (Analog Physical Modeling) offers all the benefits of traditional analog synthesis with the stability, reproducability, and precise control of digital technology. It is capable of accurately reproducing the sound of classic analog synthesizers without patch cables, setting charts, or the frustrating instability that was the bane of the analog age. A standard (Poly) AN voice can have 1 AN element and from 1 to 3 AWM elements. Classic analog synth type sounds can be created with the single AN element alone. AWM elements can be added as necessary to "modernize" the sound.
FDSP adds a sophisticated note-dependent effect processor to the basic AWM synthesis system. In contrast to a stand effect stage, the FDSP synthesis stage uses individual note and velocity data to control effect parameters, thus making it possible to simulate the characteristics of a number of real-world musical components, as well as produce totally new effects. FDSP can produce totally new sounds that are responsive and "alive". FDSP voices have from 1 to 4 AWM elements with an FDSP stage between the elements and the main effect stage. The FDSP stage can be applied to any or all of the AWM elements used, as required."
The EX-7 also features sophisticated sampling capability. Samples can be used in AWM voice elements or mapped to and played via individual keys of the keyboard using the Key Map mode. It is also possible to sample internal sounds created in the EX-7. The Sample mode has all the features you'd expect from a professional sampler and is compatible with WAV, AIFF and AKAI formats. Sampled waveforms can be saved to floppy disk or to an external storage device via the optional ASIB1 SCSI Interface.
The features don't stop there. Six Controller Knobs can be assigned to a wide range of parameters for extraordinary real-time control capability along with the Pitch wheel, two Mod wheels, assignable Ribbon Controller and Scene memory buttons. Two types of full featured built-in Sequencers are on-board. A 16-Track Song Sequencer has real-time play effects and "groove" quantization. An 8-Track Pattern Sequencer has most of the functions and features of the 16-track song sequencer, but is more suited to the production of drum tracks, dance grooves, or other frequently used phrases. There's also a great 4-track Arpeggiator with 50 preset and user patterns.
Top-quality digital effects processors of two types are onboard. The "System" effects includes two separate effect units: Reverb and Chorus. Independent reverb and chorus settings can be made for each voice in the Voice mode, and for each performance setup in the Performance mode. Two "Insertion" effects provide up to 79 additional effects like chorus, distortion and overdrive, amp simulation, auto wah, equalization, delay, reverb, and other effects.
Use the 16-part Performance mode to create elaborate sequences, layer sounds and so on. Different parts can be assigned to different areas of the keyboard, there are up to 16 zones. The EX Key Map mode allows you to assign individual samples, patterns, or pattern tracks to different keys of the keyboard. These can then be played or triggered from the keyboard or an external sequencer or other MIDI controller. Every knob and controller on the keyboard sends and receives MIDI data in real-time.
The EX-5 is a bigger version of the EX-7. It has a larger 76 note keyboard with initial and aftertouch responses. It also features Yamaha's Virtual Acoustic synthesis and the AN and FDSP generators can be combined in "AN + FDSP" mode. The EX-5 is also available as a rack-module, the EX-5R. The EX series represents a giant leap forward in synthesizer technology from Yamaha!

i agree! its a wonderful symphersizer pity about the the ASIBI standard.

Naming this "EX-7" was unfortunate. I think that a lot of people mistake this is for a beefed up DX-7. AND the presets don't do justice to what is a wonderful player's ax. THREE WHEELS and a ribbon controller! It sounds more like a CS-80 (IMHO) than a Roland Juno or Korg M1. VERY rich and full sounding. Caution> you will HATE Yamaha for not making the ASIB1 standard.

- hoop datje niet te snel je keuze maakt
want niet aleen int alles in apparaten gebied
workstations heet dat
hebbie nog ytal van andere multi studio tools die erg intressantie zijn
en wat 2 jaar terug 1000 koste of meer
is nu ongeveer 500
houdtdaar rekening mee datje nioeuwe synth keldert,..net as jort
of de aex enso
sc6
Top
allemaal....
zelfs Dries Roelvink duidelijk)
) naar een minimaal 61 toetsig apparaat waarbij de kwaliteit/prijsverhouding aardig hoog is.. ik moet het namelijk doen met ongeveer 400 euro en het mogen GEEN OCCASIONS zijn.. 
. Om die te overtuigen van een nieuwe hobby als je al 10 bevliegingen die allemaal op niets uitliepen achter je hebt liggen is nu eenmaal lastig.
