Yamaha TG-33

The TG33 uses a 2-operator FM/PCM hybrid engine with joystick-controlled vector synthesis. Yamaha calls the hybrid engine DASS which stands for Dual Architecture Synthesis System. The PCM samples used are version 1 of Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) and are 12 bits in resolution. The FM sounds consist of 256 un-editable presets. It also has a card slot with a few expansion cards available and can save additional patches to MCD32 or MCD64 memory card.

Although it has 32 voices of polyphony, most patches use 4 oscillators to take advantage of the vector morphing capabilities of this synthesizer, making this unit 8-note polyphonic for all practical purposes.

Keyboard versions of the TG-33 are the SY22 and SY35, both of which are similar to the Korg Wavestation.
