Re: DX patches

 

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?

Re: DX patches

 

You can help make any patches sound authentic to the music of these regions by using the microtuning feature found on page 50 of the XD7 II FD manual.? It is also possible with TX802.? There are a few preset and a few user memory spaces for these non-12 tone tunings.? The tuning settings?do not live within the patch settings, I think it is a Performance setting.

Re: Leading the Blind

 

On my DX7II, button 16 does nothing in Edit mode. It is not labeled on the front panel and nothing happens when you push it.

There are 2 memory protection settings under button 14: one for internal memory and one for the cartridge. If you want to load from cartridge to internal memory, you must turn off the internal protection.

The actual loading happens under button 15. You may need to press it a few times to get to the Load/Save page.

Hope this helps.

My cartridge sounds are fine, but the internals aren't what I need them to

Configuring a DX7IIFD Without Sight

 

Hello, folks, I've got a bit of a setup issue.

I need to do the following things on my DX7IIFD:
Set MIDI channels to 11 and 12 (I think this is on button 31) and make sure
Local is on
Turn Even/Odd off
Load my main sound bank, the internal sounds, from cartridge or disk (it's
both places)

I can dig through the manual and maybe get all of this worked out, but I'm
going to get the help of a sighted friend who knows naught of synthesizers,
so step by step is preferable and y'all might think of some things I miss in
the procedure.

Thanks for any help any of y'all can provide

Re: DX7II / TX802 LFO multi mode does not work?

 

OK I think I can answer my own question. I opened up the DX7II sysex documentation. Table "5-2. Additional Parameters (ACED format)" describes voice parameters that are in the DX7II but not in the original DX7. Parameter 13 is called LTRG and its description is "LFO key trigger (delay) single/multi".

That sounds like the "single/multi" setting refers to the LFO delay function and not to the LFO phase. I tried it out and that is indeed the case. If you set a long LFO delay you can clearly hear it.

LFO "multi" mode means that each LFO has an independent delay envelope. The LFO phase itself is still global i.e. the same across all voices.


Op do 3 okt 2024 om 00:15 schreef contact via <contact=[email protected]>:

As you may know, the DX7II and TX802 LFO's have a "single/multi" setting. According to the manual "multi" means that each voice gets independent voice LFO.

I am scratching my head here because I have both a DX7II and a TX802 and toggling the LFO mode from single to multi does... nothing?

Say you put a "saw down" LFO on the carrier amplitude (LFO AMD 99, OP1 AMS 7) and you use a long envelope release. With independent LFO's, you should hear an echo effect. Rythmically distinct notes should remain distinct when the LFO opens and closes the amplitude. This is not what happens: all the "echoes" are synchronized. It sounds just like you would expect "single" mode to sound, and indeed nothing changes if you change LFO mode to "single".

Here is an example patch that shows the problem.

Am I missing something? Is there a special trick to get the multi LFO to actually work as described in the manual?

Re: MIDI Implementation Charts Needed

 
Edited

I notice the TX802 MIDI Implementation doesn't mention Bank Select.? I'm not clear if that can be done as the usual CC 0 or sometimes CC32, but it doesn't say so. The "Full text of Yamaha TX-802 Owner's Manual" document covers how to select the bank from the menus, and also how to do that via sysex, though the sysex part might not be very clear, in that form:
?
There are only a few banks, all selectable by menus.? The internal sounds are banks A and B (A1-64 and B1-64), then there's the I bank for user sounds stored in RAM (sounds I1-64), and the C bank for the cartridge (C1-64).? There's also a menu for selecting the bank of the cartridge, for ones that have more than one switchable bank.? Some larger cartridges have physical switches on them to do that, I think.
There's effectively only one big bank of Performances, but half of it is in RAM and half is on the cartridge - 64 performances each, called I1-64 and C1-64.? Performances can play up to 8 different sounds via "tone generators", but with the polyphony shared between them.
?
You can store an individual Voice to a slot on the cartridge, but there's no way to send a bank directly to the cartridge from a computer via sysex - you have to overwrite the internal I bank memory then send that to it, which is a bit clumsy but not too bad.? It just means you probably want to dump what's in memory to the computer first, so you can put it back again afterwards.

INTRODUCTION?

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha KX5 Remote Keyboard. The KX5 has been?
developed using the newest and most sophisticated Yamaha digital keyboard?
technology. It connects to electronic keyboard instruments which have the?
MIDI connectors, such as the Yamaha DX series synthesizers, permitting remote?
stand-up performance of the keyboard instruments. The KX5 offers full initial?
and after touch sensitivity, permitting subtle control of timbre or dynamics via?
key touch, The ????5 also offers 2-octave transpose control, direct access to up?
to 64 voices residing in the keyboard's internal voice memory, and easy-to-use?
modulation and volume thumbwheels.?
The KX5 vastly enhances the live-performance capabilities of keyboard instru-?
ments,?
In order to obtain maximum performance from your ????5 Remote Keyboard,?
we urge you to read this owner's manual thoroughly.?

The receiving keyboard must therefore be turned ON before the KX5 in order to receive and process this?
initial data. If the receiving keyboard is turned ON after the KX5, it may not respond properly to?
control signals received from the KX5. For example, it may not be possible to use the portamento effect?
even though portamento is turned ON at the ????5. (In this case, press the portamento switch again, and?

To avoid such problems, always follow the following procedure.?
1. Connect the KX5 to the receiving keyboard using the MIDI cable.?
?
?
?

LOCATION?
Avoid placing your keyboard in direct sunlight or close to?
a source of heat. It is also important to avoid locations in?
which the instrument is likely to be subjected to vibration,?
excessive dust, cold or moisture.?

HANDLING?
Avoid applying excessive force to the instrument's knobs?
and switches.?

CLEANING?
Do not use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean?
your keyboard as these may cause discoloration or staining?
of the instrument's exterior. Use a soft, dry cloth.?

KEEP THIS MANUAL?
After studying this manual thoroughly, it should be stored?
in a safe place for future reference.?

OTHER APPLIANCES?
Use your keyboard where its digital circuitry cannot be?
influenced by electromagnetic radiation from appliances?
such as televisions, radios, etc.?

PANEL OPERATION?
O SUSTAIN?
The sustain effect is applied while this switch is held.?

?¡§ PITCH BEND?
This ribbon controller permits smooth pitch bend effects.?
Pressing the ribbon controller at any position creates a?
corresponding variation in pitch, within the range deter-?
mined by the receiving keyboard.?

?¡§ MODULATION WHEEL?
Varies the depth of the modulation effect. The actual?
modulation effect varied is determined by the receiving?
keyboard settings.?

?? VOLUME WHEEL?
Adjusts the overall volume of the sound. ("The VOLUME?
wheel will not function with the DX9 synthesizer.)?

?¡§ PORTAMENTO?
By rolling this wheel, the length of the portamento effect?
can be adjusted. Rolling the wheel towards ?€?LONG?€??
increases the portamento time.?

@ PORTAMENTO SWITCH?
Turns the portamento effect ON or OFF,?

?¡§ MONO/POLY SWITCH?
By putting the switch in the ?€?MONO?€? position, the key-?
board is set in the monophonic mode. Turn it to ?€?POLY?€??
to select the polyphonic mode.?

@ TRANSPOSE SELECTORS?
These selectors permit lowering or raising the pitch of the?
entire keyboard by 1 octave with respect to ?€?normal?€??
pitch.?

O BANK & VOICE SELECTORS?
These buttons permit selection of voices. Selection is?
carried out in 4 BANKs of 8 VOICEs. Also, when pressing?
a BANK or VOICE button while the SUSTAIN is held?
in, the preset voices from 33 to 64, which are not indicated?
???? the keyboard's panel display, can be selected if those?
additional voices are available with the receiving keyboard.?

@ MIDI CHANNEL SWITCH?
This switch is for setting the output channel.?
The selected channel's indicator lights. Please match the?
channel number with the main keyboard being used.?
However, the channel is not changed when the keyboard?
or switches are held ?¡ª??. The diagram (below) shows the?
operation of the KX5?€?s MIDI Channel Switches when two?
keyboards are connected.?

the KX5, the KX5 after-touch control is some-?
times not operative, even though that for the?
DX7 is operative. In such a case, turn the ????5?
power switch ON while holding the KX5 SUS-?
TAIN switch in.?

NOTE 2: Some of the controls on this model will not work?
with all synthesizers. Even with the Yamaha?
DX series, for example, the volume control will?
function with the DX7, but not with the DX9.?
?
BATTERY REPLACEMENT & STRAP CONNECTION?
= BATTERY REPLACEMENT?
The KX5 has a battery voltage monitor system built in.?
When the battery voltage drops below a usable value, the?
MIDI Channel Indicator begins to flash. When this happens,?
be sure to replace all the batteries at the same time.?

@ Slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.?
(2) Remove the battery holder from the snap connector?
and replace the six ?€?AA?€? or RG batteries, carefully?
observing battery polarity?
e Battery life is approximately 7 hours in continuous?
operation.?
e Remove the batteries from the KX5 if it will not be used?
for an extended period of time.?

= STRAP CONNECTION?

Re: MIDI Implementation Charts Needed

 

Hi Nicole,
?
This is from dx7IId-man.pdf, although the title of the table says Model DX7-2.
?
Pasting from the PDFs, where they have text at all, leaves a jumbled mess, so I've re-written it in a form that can be read out loud more easily, rather than as the table it started as.? I may have introduced a few errors doing that.
?
I can do the TX802 one, if no one has anything suitable, but that would take a bit longer.? There's text attached to a scanned PDF, but there are a lot of mistakes in it.
?
I don't have the other one - I'm not sure what a KX5 is, without looking it up.? For now, here's the "DX7-2" table, from the dx7IId manual.? Let me know if this format works.

DX7IIFD, TX802, and KX5 in a non-graphical format? I'm updating some
information on my master gear list.

Qx3

 

Hi everyone.
Connecting the click out to the audio interface input, I can hear a distinct current sound and a faint metronome sound, the metronome sound varies in speed depending on the bpm. But the point is that I'm not running any sequences at all,especially when running the LED test in diagnostic mode,there is a current sound and a metronome sound with every blink of the lights,I think it should be some kind of fault causing the sound leak. I have two qx3's and I have replaced the power?board and even replaced the crystals and it hasn't improved anything.
Can a pro give me some tips? Everything functions fine, the only problem is the sound.
Thank you

Thanks for the tip!

To tell you the truth, I've never programmed an FM synthesizer before, so I'd need a serious learning curve :) With the oscilloscope, I thought that at least I could find out if the DAC is faulty. I looked at the signals on the good DX7S motherboard during the test tone generation (880Hz- same test program here) and even without a logic analyser you can see pretty well what is happening around the DAC (DA2-16 legs and SH1/2), you can definitely spot if there is a problem here. Of course, the communication between EGM - OPS and CPU is a whole other problem unfortunately.

The oscilloscope was fun but it did not teach me much in the end. It was mainly by carefully listening and editing patches that I convinced myself that the OPS2 was working and that the EGM had to be the problem.

Use the init patch instead of presets, it is easier to reason about. Try varying the algorithm. Try low values for R1 (attack). Can you get clean sounds? (I.e. no noise.)

Thanks for your suggestion, I read it, I also think there is a hardware problem. I have a good DX7S motherboard that uses the same chipset, I'll start comparing the signals around the two big chips with an oscilloscope to see if I can learn something. Thanks!

Re: DX7II-D white noise problem

 

Thank you Florian for your reply. The error occurs even in test mode, when only the 880Hz sine wave sound should be on the output, which makes me think that it is definitely a hardware problem, not a software parameter problem. Thank you!
