SOUNDIRON Yumtone H4｜Recreating the Classic 1987 Yamaha FM Synthesizer Sound Source
Classic FM Synthesizer Sample Library Capturing Pure Digital Magic
SOUNDIRON Yumtone H4 is a classic FM synthesizer sound source from Soundiron, deeply sampled from the classic Japanese electronic organ Electone HC-4, released by Yamaha in 1987. This sound source not only includes the original hardware's dual 44-key keyboard sounds, 16-operator FM synthesis engine, and built-in drum machine rhythms, but also fully preserves its unique digital texture and sound details through dual recording with a Neumann TLM 103 microphone and Direct Line-in.
Compared to pure FM synthesizer plugins, Yumtone H4 offers a deeply sampled Kontakt sound source based on real hardware, allowing you to instantly get a full 80s vibe vintage sound without tedious parameter adjustments. In addition to the original instrument sounds, Soundiron has also created 20 ambient soundscape Pads and 20 custom FX presets, greatly expanding the application range of the Yamaha Electone HC-4, making it suitable for various music genres.
