generally - a Yammy SY85 can emulate both to such an extent that your average punter could'nt tell the diff,
and a whole lot more besides !.

again? i know it can do PCM stuff too, but i thought
it was FM at the core as well...

they both had FM and S+S

I thought FM stood for Frantic Masturbation. How silly do I feel now.

from the initial impact of the DX7, which okay was groundbreaking - FM as a form of synthesis, in my
opinion,is the at the bottom of the pile for overall
sound generation and emulation capability - god I even prefer Casio's attempt with phase distortion !

(some) "real" instrument sounds - like epianos, some basses and (argh) bells. Well, you can do some of this with a analogue synth, but this is often by using cross modulation, which is FM...
I think FM got a bad reputation by the combination of hard programming and bad presets (if you're any type of music that's analogue-obsessed...). But check out the presets on any preset-analogue-synth and you'll see why presets aren't that important..
And I guess the TB-303 must be the worst bass-emulating synth of all time... (check out the presets for it! Acoustic bass?!)

I'm getting into these FM sounds now!
