Digital data, including synthesiser data is gradually eroded as new incompatible technologies emerge.
This video tests how F.M. synthesis data from a 1985 machine is preserved, by step conversion, across 3 decades, from one machine to another as new technologies arrived. Did it work?
From 1985 till 2017, features the Yamaha CX5m, FB01, N.I. FM8, VOPM VST and the shiny new Preen FM2 hardware.
Goodies for FM8, DX7, VolcaFM, PreenFm2, VOPM etc below
