  • I crawl back to my memories, there is a tiny claustrophobic space there... and this synth was hiding, the Yamaha Mu 15 was my very first touch with synths, more than 600 sounds, 21 drumkits, built in effects... is this a vaporwave holy grail? lol

    My step brother had a really horrible "keyboard" toy which i now understand is a essentially a synthesizer. It had some preset instruments and even tracks you could play. I played so nuch with it, that everyone else got annoyed. So I ended up playing in a closet alone.
    Maybe its time to find this toy again and revive part of my childhood.

    lol this is mad. I started off with a MU15, Zoom Sampletrak and DR5 drum machine back in the ass end of the 90s while at art school. I still have them all. Never thought I'd see a MU15 being used again 👍

    For me it was the QY20. It is very similar and we used it as our main sequencer for many albums. We would play along with it on other synths and electric guitar. Great stuff.

      I owned ca 25 synths....my biggest regret is selling my QY 100 I bought from England (when they were in the EU)...I fixed the QY 100, bought a Smart Card, a reader, and a net-adapter for it....and then I didn't use it much, sold it...before I discovered how useful it could be, especially after I tested my tablet and phone, none of them can handle Midi, after the Android updates, the Midi settings disappeared, to my dismay. Before that it took months to sell the QY 100 with everything, dirt cheaply, around 130 USD (1300 Swedish crowns)...the worst mistake in my synth-life...and I don't regret selling my Yamaha FS1R, also cheaply, a long time ago. Also, it's hard to import from Japan after Ebay started to take VAT themselves, the Swedish Custom doesn't know about that and they also would take 24 % VAT...grrrrrr

    Very cool video! I had some questions about the MU15. I understand that is uses GM sounds & certain parameters can be edited such as the attack & release. Is it possible to save these edited sounds or does the unit wipe itself clean every time it is powered off? Thank you for your time

    I got new gear, but still miss the Commodore 64 days with it's little subtractive synth the 6581 SID. So been shopping around for various subtractive synthesizers. I want something with knobs for everything, that's perfect for exploring for new sounds. Not to diss my MODX+, though that thing is amazing and powerful. It's just that menu diving and sound creation don't mix for me. Yeah the C64 and SID, was worse than menu diving, often POKE'ing registers to make changes, sometimes even having to write little IRQ routines in machine code just to get something like an LFO going. But FM and FM-X on the MODX+ just aren't as intutive as having specific waveforms and filters.
