AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Yamaha TG33 is a cult classic of early-90s digital synthesis. It is the desktop module version of the Yamaha SY22 and is built around Dynamic Vector Synthesis, the concept pioneered by Sequential Circuits' Prophet VS.

Its signature feature is the vector joystick. Each sound combines four elements: two sampled AWM waveforms and two FM voices. With the joystick you blend and morph smoothly between them in real time. The TG33 can even record your joystick movements, so sounds evolve and breathe on their own. This makes it famous for rich, shimmering pads, evolving textures and atmospheric sounds that are hard to find anywhere else. It is a favourite for ambient, electronic and film music.

Highlights

• Dynamic Vector Synthesis, combining AWM samples and FM in one sound
• Vector joystick with recordable vector movements
• Multitimbral, playable on up to 16 MIDI channels
• Internal, preset and card memory
• Built-in effects
• Two stereo output pairs (Output 1 and Output 2)
• MIDI In / Out / Thru
• Iconic ribbed "heatsink" design
• Made in Japan, serial no. HJ01203

Condition
The unit is in good condition for its age, with light signs of use and minor surface marks. The panel graphics are clear and all buttons and knobs are present.

Fully tested and working perfectly. The display, all buttons, LEDs, the data entry knob, the vector joystick and the memory function as they should.
