Re: Patch Purchasing from eBay
|
After going through a jillion patches, my ears get numb, leaving me wondering just how many distinctly different and usable sounds are in a DX7? Now yes, of course, there’s a “non-infinite but very large number” of theoretical sounds.? Sure.? But are there?? I mean in the Imitative category, DX strings are maybe 10 sounds before they sound pretty much the same – and none of them especially like strings.? Electric Pianos?? Large number, but same idea.? Total number, maybe 300 or 10 banks. Similarly, a Hammond organ.? ? million different sounds.? But how many has anyone ever used?? A dozen?? Two?? How many can even be discerned by most ears? It’s just a concept I’ve noodle around with – and it’s probably been discussed long ago, anyway. ? ?

Subject: Re: [YamahaDX] Patch Purchasing from eBay? I've purchased patch banks off of ebay for other synths from SoundEngine.? They're OK.? Library size is not really what you're after, though.? After digging through a mere 30,000 DX7 patches from the?Dexed_cart_1.0 patch bank that are online for free, I'd rather have a library of 500 good ones than 30,000 patches that aren't.? 250,000?? That's too many to dig through.??
