The story
I powered up my old Yamaha TX81Z module after decades of storage in a shelf. Internal memory was totally scrambled (probably its internal battery died a long time ago), but luckily factory reset worked well and restored the device to its original state.
I recovered my personal favorite patches from sys-ex dumps I kept in pen-drives and after some tweaking to make the recording process easier, I sampled 126 patches and organized them in 63 different presets, each with 2 similar sounds that can be mixed, detuned and panned independently.
Envelopes are included to control volume and LP filter cut-off frequency plus reverb and delay effects. Cut-off is also affected by each note velocity: higher velocities produce higher cut-off frequencies and vice-versa.

Incredible
This is clearly crafted with love, both in regards to the sound quality and the design of the UI. I genuinely can't believe this is free.
Sounds perfect
The instruments sounds perfect and can directly be applied in your song or mix. No cosmetic pre-modifications are needed because of the very high quality sounds.
But I had 7 errors in Decent Sampler while installing from the zip-file. It seems that 7 wav-files had an error in their names. All of the 7 fretless1-files should be named as Fretless1 with the first letter in capital.
The plugin works fine with the errors so far but I assume 7 sound are possibly missing.Kind regards, Gerard15
Fine collection of fm sounds.
The different fm style instruments are well sampled and have a good tone. I am happy to find strings, bells, bass and guitar etc. in a fine special fm quality and there are still details of natural sounds.
Retro magic
This is a wonderfully realised library. The sounds are clean and rich and the effects are well suited to the pre-sets. I don't know the original but I would guess this is an excellent recreation.
Yes, the sounds are slightly dated perhaps but they work really well eg by loading two instances in the DAW, you can achieve rich , musical and very usable sounds. It is well worth keeping.
