The TG33 sound module is a slightly enhanced key-less version of the SY22. It is a digital synthesizer that employs frequency modulation (FM) synthesis combined with low-fi (12-bit) AWM ROM samples. However, this machine is not low quality (especially for the electronica-oriented musician). Its preset sounds are a bit thin, however using the joystick controller you can manipulate and combine the 12-bit samples with the any of the 256 FM vector voices. This gives it a range of tone and sound that is as dynamic and mysterious as other vector synths such as the Korg Wavestation and ProphetVS.

Also available is a drum kit, effects, 16-part multitimbrality for layering sounds and 32 note polyphony! Definitely a powerful little beast that can create pretty nice sounds with lots of motion and character. With its wide range of sonic possibility, the TG33 has what it takes to create unique sounds that will keep you and you're music sounding a little different from the rest!

Lovely string sounds which layer really nicely with other synths - I can see why the Pet Shop Boys liked using this beasty... It might be cheap but its got one or two cracking sounds in it with potential for making your own presets - so underrated.. yes!

this is the most underrated synthesizer possibly of all time.
the four vectors each having their own dedicated lfo's and envelopes
(not to mention the rest of the available programmable parameters)
creates a perfect platform to build complex evolving patches.
this does require a lot of patience, planning, and synthesis
architecture knowledge, but is entirely worth the results.
any true synth guru must own one of these.

is a great module, very cool dated sounds not hard to program, you can random the waveforms from awm and fm, 2 of each to create total new sound, nice for the studio. 4 waves at the same time with little fx can a nice touch to any song
