I think you need a DX7-II or TX802 to do all 9 waves in a 2-sound
layer.? The best that a Gen 1 DX7 can do is six operators in
parallel.? And if you want to emulate key click, the best algorithm
is #24, which allows Op 6 to modulate Op 3,4,5 -- and only provides
five sine outputs.
That said, many classic Hammond sounds use 5 or less drawbars.
For the OP, though:? I think it's a moot point:? he said he has an
SK1-73, which has a far better Hammond simulation than could ever be
coaxed out of a DX7!

Nine sine waves from 6 operators? Do tell.

If you can find patch lists for downloadable sound
banks, there's one I placed into my bank called
Jumpies that sounds right for the stuff EVH used on
1984.
Also note that the DX7 can be configured so there's
nine sine waves, so it'll do useful drawbar
simulations. (This was covered in a Keyboard Magazine
item some time ago)

Subject: Re: [YamahaDX] Old Guy With A DX7
Thank to everyone for the great information. The other
thing is how to hook the DX to a computer, and, Mac is
my preference since I own an iMac and an iPad. I also
may purchase a MacBook Air or Pro for this and some
other jobs. I also have iConnectMIDI which I’m pretty
sure will make the connection since it has USB, midi
and lightning connectors. Now to start reading the
great stuff you guys sent and getting things going. My
main program to load or dial in the the OBX sound Van
Halen uses on Jump. One of the bands I play with is
doing a Van Halen tribute set in 4 weeks and I would
like to use the DX instead of my SK1-73.
