Hi Tom,
yes it does. If you connect both MIDI IN and OUT of your DX7 to Electra it will communicate with it to keep in sync.
If DX7 is on the list of connected devices (define in Electra’s preset) Electra will fetch current patch on start up. Same counts for program changes, whenever you change the program in DX7, Electra will catch that info and will fetch the patch. Please see this video:?
As it has 360 degree pots, it will not then make any abrupt changes in the sound. It will just start from the point where given parameter value really is. And they are real potentiometers not encoders.

Hi Martin:
Electra One looks great! ?One question - does it support downloading the patch settings from the synth to set the initial values of the patch? ?I have a DT7 which is awesome but one drawback is it’s hard to accomplish the use case of “slightly tweak an existing patch.”

Hi there,
I have put together a programmer that can be used for working with DX7/TX7. It was originally designed for Rhodes Chroma, but supporting my TX7 came to my mind immediately after Chroma started working with it. The main idea is to visualize the sound parameters and keep reading all patch / program changes, so that the information on the LCD is always up to date.
Demo of using it with TX7 can seen at??and info about the project at?
I know that some of you might think that this is a promo for my project. But my main motivation is to hear your feedback and suggestions. My long term goal is to make it easier to work with patches on classic but hard-to-program synths and dsps.
Cheers,
Martin
