Re: DX patches

Just a simple hint: if your are looking for something from a dedicated culture, then search like if you'd be from that culture: Use translate.google.com or deepl.com or similar, translate your request to the corresponding language and do the search.
Of course your results will be in the same language, so it will be a lot of translation effort then - but I was really successful with this method.

And of course don't search for "arabian DX-7 sounds" but instead look for "Oud or Bouzouki as DX-7 sound".
You never would search for a "american steel guitar sound", because americans never would mention their own culture within that search.

I collect DX7 patches since 1986, but never found any Near East, Arabian, Turkish, Iranian, Greek, Balkan… patch.

The only ethnic patches I know are African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Jamaican, and some European (accordions, recorder, bag-pipes, fiddle, hurdy-gurdy, some percussions).

It wouldn’t be easy to program those Oriental patches on DX7. 

But I know some Balkan musicians used DX11, and Casio CZ successfully for imitation of some folk instruments.

If you need them, find some sampler or sample based synthesizer or arranger keyboard specialized on this type of sounds (and even styles), like Yamaha PSR1000, Korg PA80 with Turkish card or so.

Thanks for that Nick, 

I have played around with these in the past with limited success.
Also finding it difficult to switch quickly from one patch to another within a suitable time frame - whereas performance patches can be changed relatively quickly.

If possible I am looking for patches akin to Yamaha PSRa 5000 "Istanbul Strings, OUD - etc World Instruments" Suitable for the DX7 - ???

I am open to further suggestions

PS I'm not very tech savvy ... I know just enough to get by LOL......

Cheers
