Re: A strange journey worth sharing
Have you looked into a Gotek floppy emulator? ?
I fitted one into an S900, and then into my Yamahah RM1X and it worked perfectly in each instance,
It then behaves exactly like a floppy disk (well

A strange journey worth sharing
Good evening everyone,
This group has helped me before, so I always keep it in mind when trouble strikes my venerable Yamaha DX7II-FD with Grey Matter E! board update. I've been on a strange journey

Re: Intonation on DX7
Thanks for confirming the "sounds off" and "falls into place" perceptions that I had. If that can be heard by others, then my main goal has been accomplished.
Interesting to hear about "meticulous

Re: Intonation on DX7
Phil,
Since the differences can be very subtle, it is best to eliminate any unnecessary sources of variation to make an accurate aural comparison.
A metronome perhaps?

Re: Intonation on DX7
I'm not going to be able to do this right away, as the program isn't sufficiently automated for external triggers yet, and my MIDI DAW is on an older XP machine that is in storage.

Re: Intonation on DX7
Hello Phil,
Thanks for the report. The two sound files are slightly different in terms of amplitude and headroom. The railsback_stringsynthdrone is slightly louder than the equal temperament one.

Re: Intonation on DX7
I've been wanting to hear for myself if the "Railsback" adjustments make a difference. I finally took some time to make two sound files, one which uses pure equal temperament and the other which

Re: V50 SSU (sound source) patches?
I came here after watching 12-op videos on Youtube; I am V50 user since 1991, and still searching for those floppies. I found some corrupted files on the net, labelled "packof", when they load on the

Re: DX7 key grease?
Yes, white lithium grease is good. I use it when refurbishing the key beds on JD-800s. I replace the old dried out grease on the key springs with fresh white lithium grease after cleaning.

Re: Intonation on DX7
In short, what Thor said...
The trick of using separate (sharp) tuned operators to make the higher order harmonics of the bass (wound string) notes works well, then using either zone detuning

Re: Intonation on DX7
Actually, no not really.
Painstaking care is made in the design and voicing of the acoustic piano to strike the string at the 9th Harmonic where there is the *least* amount of generated harmonics.

Re: Intonation on DX7
I guess it's similar to the reason for Just Intonation.? Equal temperament is slightly discordant because of the interval used between notes.? Since the interval between keys or semitones (half

OK, I'll take a shot at explaining why we might use the Railsback curve
(or not).
Inharmonicity is a spread in the harmonics above the fundamental pitch.?

Re: Intonation on DX7
No windings but they have still a rich spectrum with harmonics.
Let me guess - tension of the string and resonances are some factors to count with when tuning. And - psychoacoustics...
