Thanks for the file - it was very helpful for understanding how the real DX7s data format looks. Previous versions of Voice data for this instrument which could be found on the internet were not complete.
Performances are OK.
Voices - it looks like the instruments has sent automatically not only Voice data but as well belonging Fractional Scaling bank. Most of these settings are empty, zeroed, no data, only some of them have data (I supposed those which have the same number as the voice to which it belongs).
Interesting.
And because the second Fractional Scaling bank has different contents I'd suppose it's OK because different sounds use them, and in different setting.
Anyway - it would be interesting to know - just for checking purposes - which Voices show "f" character, that means they use Fractional Scaling.
Owner's Manual contains probably some mistakes, I suppose one of them is on the page 58 - that Fractional Scaling is called by selecting of the Performance with the same location number. That must be wrong, FS belongs to the voice editing parameters, so it is recalled together with voice. Proof for this is also SysEx format as we can see clearly now - FS data were sent from the instruments together with voice data.
But it can be saved only to FS formatted bank on RAM4/5 cartridge.

Sorry for the delay Csaba, had a really tough time at work this week. A zip has been uploaded with the 64 voices and 32 performances to the files area. Thanks to Daniel for the guidance how to do it (and you can blame him if I made a mistake :-P).
Seriously though, if anything is wrong, let me know and I'll fix.
