Synth81Z，Jun Murakami（高桥淳）开发的四算子 FM 合成器插件，基于硬件实测高度复刻 Yamaha TX81Z（1987 年 1U 机架式 FM 音源），以传奇音色 Lately Bass 闻名，80‑90 年代大量舞曲都使用该标志性贝斯，每个算子支持 8 种波形，区别于 DX7 仅正弦波的设计，还原硬件 DAC 与输出模拟电路的独特音色特质。
核心功能
‑ 复音数：8/16/24/32 复音；8 复音完全对标原版硬件，更高复音等效多芯片堆叠。 ‑ 8 部分 Performance 模式：支持分层、键盘分割、多音色模式；每声部独立 LFO 与连续声像。 ‑ 五插槽效果机架：12 种效果（4 种合唱、延迟、移相、镶边、EQ、压缩、失真、混响、琶音器等），效果器可与同作者 Synth‑80 互相拷贝。 ‑ 硬件编辑器 / 音色库管理：可 MIDI 连接真实 TX81Z，插件修改同步映射至硬件；支持 SysEx 收发、.syx/.mid音色导入、音色库构建工具；支持 MIDI Learn、DAW 自动化。 ‑ 单页全景 UI：全部 4 个算子参数、包络、波形图表在同一页面，无需翻页；中英日文参数提示，支持复制粘贴模块、窗口缩放。 ‑ 出厂预置 420 + 音色，附带 Saif Sameer 制作的 52 套扩展音色库。

The newest, and the fattest, Lately Bass. A compact four-operator FM synthesizer. Released in 1987, the Yamaha TX81Z is a four-operator FM tone generator in a 1U rack. Conceived as an affordable way to bring the FM synthesis pioneered by the six-operator DX7 to more musicians, this small unit nevertheless holds features that even its bigger siblings lacked: where earlier FM synths offered only sine waves, each of the TX81Z’s operators can choose from eight waveforms. Combined with the character of its distinctive analog circuitry, this gives it an appealing sound quite unlike the DX7.
Above all, the preset “Lately Bass” is the sound that wrote the TX81Z into music history. With its distorted harmonics, razor-sharp attack and tenacious low end, it anchored countless hits from the late 1980s through the 1990s, above all in dance music.
It was never an easy machine to program from its front panel, but its affordable price and iconic sounds earned it a place in the studio racks of countless musicians, including, back in the day, the developer of this plugin.
