Dear list,
I would like to implement Yamaha tx816 emulation in PD, along the lines of the way in which multiple instances of fm7 can be used in Max/MSP. The criteria I would like to meet are:
1/ The sound and behaviour of the synthesis must perceptually very close to the original sounds, excluding _overall_ timbral nuances such as 'warmth', 'thinness' etc.
Please keep in mind while emulating the sound of DX7 you also have to recreate the behaviour of the D/A converters which had a huge impact on the sound. For instance the DX7II sounded different than its precursor. I don't know about the legasynth nor about Franks approach but it takes more than just recreate the FM structure and sysex compatibility. Its the same with other simulations, you can't stick a sawtooth generator to a filter in PD and claim it to be a faithful analogue simulation, lot of subtle details are missing.
Cheers,
Malte
