Yamaha TG33 Project Machine

“Yamaha TG33 Vector Synthesizer. 32-note polyphonic/16-part multitimbral synthesizer that uses AWM and FM waveforms to produce some pretty amazing sounds when paired with the four-quadrant vector synthesis. It may look like an answering machine, but it produces some serious ambient soundscapes. The unit does function, but there are some issues with the output. The headphone output functions fine, the first set of outputs has a bit lower output level and the second set of outputs is even lower. I admit that I really haven’t read the manual, but I did jog through some presets and also pop in some sounds in the four quadrants for some vector synthesis fun, but it really doesn’t fit into my workflow, which is modular based at this point, and I’m not that handy with fixing electronics. It could be used as is, but were I to keep it, I’d want the output levels a bit higher. I’ve seen discussion of this online so it’s a common issue with a number of solutions, but not in my wheelhouse”
