Hi Raj, it won't be the battery I think or you'd have lost all your patches.

Try headphones first than maybe check a patch to make sure the operators aren't set to 0 output.

Dear All World Class Musicians Owners of DX7

I have one DX7 Keyboard that was off the power grid for more than 5 years.

Switched On all functions appear normally on the screen

Sound ....none ......is it the battery ofr anything else, [pls help.

Else the unit is physically perfect solid state .

Please advise on precautions and tips to make it work like in the 80's .

Hi Martin,

I can not find the file with the LFO speed BPM relation. Would it be possible to re send it or send a link or something? It would be really helpful. Thanks a lot in advance!!?

Re: LFO Speed in BPM and some LFO tricks

 

P.S.
I have similar tables for Yamaha FB01, DX100/21/27/TX81Z etc. and Reface DX. Somewhere hidden in my messy harddisk archives. The LFO speed range from the FB01 is insane if I remember correctly :-)

Re: LFO Speed in BPM and some LFO tricks

 

Some more notes about BPM and LFO speed from Daniel's table:
1. Depending on the rhythmical effect you want to obtain it can be required to multiply or divide the BPM number by a whole number like 2 or 3 or other. Also depends on time signature of the music.
2. If you use LFO with Sample&Hold waveform you may want to try a low value of the LFO speed parameter and multiply the BPM with a certain factor (can't remember the number but please experiment). This can give very useful rhytmic musically interesting effect.

Re: Need help identifying DX7 front panel screws (1st)

 

Given where it was designed and built, ALL screws on the DX-7 will be metric, not imperial.

A hint for inserting self-tapping screws into old plastic is to first rest the screw in the hole then back the screw out slowly until you feel it drop into the thread. Then screw it in as normal and don't over-tighten.

Just started learning about the 802, and really just trying to understand more about how the performance patches are layered/structured and also determine which individual DX7 II d/fd patches are rolled up into the factory performances.  I have seen lists of the names of the individual patches and the factory performance patches, but nothing that helps bridge the two together for me.  I know the 802 is a completely different animal to the 816, so I may be chasing something that doesn't exist outside of the hardware.  Appreciate any insight you might offer

I have a *paper* copy of the TX802 Performance Lists that came with my module.? It's not exactly the same as the '801 guide, but I think it's what you are looking for.

If you can wait a bit I would be willing to copy it to a PDF.? It's going to take a little time because the copy I have is near-mint, and I don't want to just stuff it into a scanner.? I might have to take the binding apart.
