Check these out for one reason mainly which is how to use the FM organ percussion feature as a 3rd voice without having to use a sustaining organ sound.
Meaning it decays when held unlike an organ that continuously sustains. I sometimes don't want an organ but then lose the 3rd voice option.
First listen to the "DAL NO ORG" which sounds like an electric guitar. Then "DAL NO ORG2" also like a strat and can be used with any other voice for thickness. Check out the other variations using this technique with the "F4" & "F6" percussion feature.
I added some more as well late last night but it's funny something so small and you have unlimited options just with one operator and one modifier. Imagine had Yamaha taken it one step further.
Let me know if you checked it out and what you think. Thanks
You can also flip between "upper" and "lower" which I did not program but you can set your own.
If you want to get fancier you can loop the MIDI cable "out" to "in" and set a different tone for "upper" and "lower" and a different octave for a really thick tone as they both play simultaneously.
See photos. Go into the settings make the changes so that both organ manuals play simultaneously on a key press for the full keyboard range.
So essentially you can actually have (2) of the same organs playing at once plus parts "A" and "B".
The things you can change per each of the (2) organs are any of the draw bar positions set or in real time and the octaves of each but everything else is shared.
So now you can actually have (4) parts internal: A real sustained organ playing on upper (or 2nd percussive part) and then a percussion non-sustained part (as I demonstrated acting as a 3rd voice) on the lower plus parts "A" and "B".
This photo shows all 4 parts playing in this patch & all internally controlled.
The "F6" is still one organ but you can use all the bars and octave however you want. "EX" means it's External except it's not because of the MIDI loop.
