Beautiful track, I like the space, it really feels wide - open.

I wouldn't have guess that it was all "fm" synthesis sounds there. Well played.

I really like the big "drums" percussive element. Super cool with the big reverb, the airy melodies on top works super.

Cool to read the inspo for this one.

I dig that pulsing synth, really brings a kinda movement and gentle tension to the piece which brings it to life. The details with the clinks give it nice texture.

+1 on the big drums. They are big!

Nice work!

that TQ5 sounds amazing in your hands, really nice work!

I'm imagining the Yamaha TQ5 as the mysterious artifact in this story.

That is a stunning photo, glad you got your hands on the unit, the sounds you pulled out of it sound so fresh and polished, not what I would have expected from your description of the unit.  Like that thunderous percussion hit opening things up and then contrasting with the delicate pad and melodies.  Great tribute to a fun game and fantastic soundtrack.

These sounds are properly.

Wow those Tq5's are kind of hard to find. Very cool to hear one in action. I always liked their design. Properly 80s UI. Putting the OPZ to good use.

whoa, that percussion is so LARGE. I love how you've showcased what this synth can do. So great what you've made with it. Favoriting this one for sure.
Also amazing news about monument valley, love that game!

Amazing atmosphere on this one, I could really feel those big percussion hits. Really well done!

This track has an incredibly cinematic quality to it.  The size of that percussive hit is AWESOME, and the transition at 1:12 was just perfect.  Very well done.

Like Jason Nijjer said, I expected a much more distinctly "old" sound than what you pulled out of this awesome looking synth. Really enjoy some of the warbly/vibrato sounds, coupled with the huge reverbs on drums and twinkly sounds makes such a spacey vibe.

Ooof I've wanted a TQ5 so long, but gotta admit it's at least 50% because of aesthetics. The main thing stopping me (well, aside from space and money) is that I already have too many FM synths... or do I? Of course this track isn't helping - it's a wonderful showcase. This sounds really cinematic, but also warm and playful. Never played monument valley myself but this sounds like a great game OST.

I was also surprised with this preset. It's fun and fit the idea for the track perfectly!

Thanks! There's some gentle modulation there that was a bit tricky to accomplish with this particular sound module

Thanks, Josh! 🫡

I like that reading of the title!

Took a while to take a good photo, I'm glad you liked this one. It was in complete darkness to the naked eye.

Raioh, thank you for the

Yeah, it's a divisive design but I adore it. There's one on Reverb but quite overpriced. The one I got was half the price. And it's in great shape!

Same! Can't wait.

I'm glad you like it!

Thank you for the kind words!

Thanks for the careful listen, I was glad about that transition, too.

There are definitely super dated presets there, too. I'm just avoiding the ones that are obviously terrible

Yeah, since it's digital for me it was more than 50% because of the looks. It feels like an item from an alternative universe.
