How #YamahaDX7 is that?
YES!

🎶 ☠️ 🤍 Jeez. I've been doing this electronic music composition for awhile. ;-)

Note that MacPlus. That little computer opened up a world for me!

The keyboards are a Yamaha DX7, en Ensoniq-1, and a Roland Juno 106

Ach. Ach. Laute Musik. Im äh Esels-Ohrensessel mit dem Grand-Old-Scheff: „.. und wenn ich mal hochkuck‘, dann seh ich den Telelefonhörer..“

und spätestens dann weiß niemand mehr was er hier zitiert. *Schnaub #wirham86 #yamahaDX7 🎹🖤🎶🎵🔊🔊

Another wonderful interview by @savetz, this time with Tom Zimmerman, part of the four-person team at Atari that worked on the never-released AMY sound chip: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_AMY

Tom comes across as an absolute gentleman.

His description of what the AMY could do is terrific. It synthesised audio using up to 16 oscillators for the fundamental and harmonics to build rich, complex sounds. It could also be run "in reverse"; quoting Wikipedia:

An input sample could be run through a Fast Fourier transform to extract the spectral pattern, and then that pattern could be input to the AMY to set up the oscillators.

Tom contrasts the AMY's design against FM synths like the #YamahaDX7 and sample-based synthesizers.

Tom's words of wisdom at the end of the interview are wonderful too. A recommended listen, even if #Atari isn't your thing.

Harold Faltermeyer - Beverly Hills Cop - Axel F (12'' Version) [Re-Extended by Gilles Nuytens]

Harold Faltermeyer - Beverly Hills Cop - Axel F (12'' Version) [Re-Extended & Remastered by Gilles Nuytens] This is an extended version of the famous theme « Axel F. » from the Eddie Murphy movie « Beverly Hills Cop » (1984) by Harold Faltermeyer. I have extended it from the already 12'' vinyl extended version (7 mins 10 sec) and mixed with the classic OST version (3 minutes 01 sec) for a total of 14 mins 27 sec! Enjoy this enhanced cult classic. This isn't a remix, this is the original audio!
