Can anyone of the current DX21 users guide me on patch editing on this keyboard?Is it possoble to get a decent tone out of this machine?

follow the diagrams to see the signal flow for each selected algorithm
remember also - each osc' chucks out only sine waves so use odd divisions to tickle to get square wave shapes and even divisions to get more saw-y or triangle-y sounds
does that make any sense?
remember
The FREQUENCY of the MODULATOR effects the RATE of change in the CARRIER frequency.
The AMPLITUDE of the MODULATOR effects the DEPTH of change of the CARRIER frequency.
The SHAPE (or timbre) of the MODULATOR effects the SHAPE of change of the CARRIER frequency.
Generaly therefore, if you tickle a Carrier with a Tickler which is set to an ODD number relative to the Carrier you tend to get square wave shapes with more harmonic's and adding EVEN Tickler frequencies usualy gives more sawtooth or sine-y shapes...
SQUARE WAVE - has ODD harmonic's (3rd, 5th etc) and gives a characteristic sort of hollow or tubular sound in character
The other option would normaly be a SAWTOOTH WAVE, which contains even harmonic's (2nd, 4th, 6th etc), and has a characteristic sharp rasping full sound

but it might help give you some ideas about FM synthesis even tho the operators on the dx21 is only 4

hmmm.... I should finish that page actualy sometime
