Yamaha TG-55 nightmare! (well it is nearly Halloween)

I've just taken delivery of my Yamaha TG-55 from a nice person on e-bay and have eagerly started to program it (usual way, no manual and try to opush it to it's limit). I thought, I know I'll make a big fat analogue style 4 osc bass sound, yummy!

It turns out having started wading through the editing params. that the filter section on this synth is quite complex. That's an understatement. There are 53 filter parameters in the edit structure, and that's PER ELEMENT!!!! (for element read oscillator). So for my big fat bass sound I have 212 parameters to adjust for the filters alone!!!

Anyone know of any short-cuts or failing that a good editor/librarian. I have a headache

haha...in deep waters i am afraid...

if you have sounddiver heres a kinda editor http://homepage.mac.com/synth_seal/html/tg55c.html

Yeh, cheers TAT. I had seen this but I don't have sounddiver. I might get it if my synth collection starts to increase. I have two at the moment the TG and a Casio CZ-1 which I've also just bought.

If only there was a feature whereby all elements in a voice were routed through the same two filters that would quarter the programming and be the layout you would want 90% of the time. Then you could by choice have different settings for each element to create movement on pads with eight different filters each with their own EG or LFO. Great for deep programming but, like I said, not what you want for the majority of the time.

Oh well, I'll have to crack open the manual and see if there is a way.
