hi guys i bought a dx7 and a tx81z two days ago and i've a pair of
questions
1 how can i set the dx7 in local off??????????
2 i use the funtastic midilib to upload .syx patches in the dx7
using also the drag and drop to modify them as i want
there is also a version for the tx81z of this software??
actually i use alesis freeloader but i can't choose the single
patches to load in
3 any good download patch place seeya mega thanx
may fm be withya

Anyone know where I can download a .pdf of the DX27owners
manual????

I have a dx27 which Im trying to hook to my mc505, the problem
is the dx27 outputs at 90 velocity instead of 127, so it sounds
quieter, is there anything I can do to change it to 127?????

much appreciated...

It seems that I've heard that the DX7 can load patches made for the
earlier 4 operator DX synths. I don't know about direct dumps from one
machine to another but the sysex files might be compatible. That's easy
enough to check. Loading sysex from different 4 op synths might work
fine too. I read that one ( might have been the TX81z) would just ignore
pitch envelope information (it didn't have a pitch envelope).

Hey,

Are DX100 and DX21 patches compatible ?

Interestingly, the FS1r can recieve sysex from DX7 synths, and it
automatically mutes the extra 2 operators. THe FS1r is one of the most incredible synths ever made. Very underrated. And
you can buy them for $350-$500 on ebay. One of the best purchases I ever made. Very underrated and unknown synth.

But it's still difficult to program, no?

I think sysex dump is not possible. Spending some time learning about both synths and parameter ranges should allow you
to get a decent manual conversion.

I think the DX100 has only Sine waves, right? Not 8 waveform choices like on the TX81z? If you have FM synth/patch that
has waveforms that are not sine, then this is impractical (if even possible) to convert to a 6-op (or 8-op: FS1r) synth.

But if the waveform is sine, then you should be able to mute the extra operators on a higher-operator synth. This is the
technique Yamaha used to transfer DX7/TX802 6-op sounds to the FS1r, which has an incredible 8-operators.

very interesting question :)
i think its not possible directly but i bet it's possible to convert
patches from DX100 to DX7 cause ,
DX100 's got 4 operators and 8 (if i remember correctly ? )
algorithms for operators routing
so , if u "disable" 2 operators on DX7 (u dont use last 2 operators
for instance) ,u 're having 4 operators and same number of possible
algorithms :)
but i think envelope and some other settings 're different,so u have
to "convert" them somehow to nearest settings on DX7..
uhm okay why to do it anyway ??
cause of that kickass "Solid Bass" factory patch on DX100 !
well atleast i love it...one organ patch too on DX100
if anyone's got DX100 or similar i would like to have these Solid
bass parameters ,to try to recreate that on mine TX802 :)
i readed smth about it on :

but i almost fall asleep so i'll try to read about conversion there.

i repeat if someone's got DX100 or similar handy please,please send
me "Solid Bass" factory patch parameters (and draw algorithm it uses
so i know which one to turn on on my TX )

if i suceed i'll post procedure here

greetingz to all FM lunatics :)

Anybody knows if I can make direct sysex dumps from DX100 to a DX7 ?
It's possible directly or using some software?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can. The DX-7 is a 6-op, the DX-100 is a 4-op. They're not compatible.

Try some auction sites, i think you'll have the best luck there.

Hi
�
Anyone know of any places in the UK where I can buy a breath
controller and/or some more rom cartridges for the dx7?

cheers

I haven't played with a DX100. I do have a DX7II with a breath
controller. You might try using a breath controller. Look for sounds
that have " BC " or " BC1 " (breath controller) in their names. On the
DX7 you have to set the keyboard to use the breath controller, even if
the sound has BC in the title. Find the Breath controller section and
set "EG bias" to 99, also, if there is a Pitch Bias parameter try
setting it to 1 to give a little change in pitch as you play louder.
Patches generaly have to be set up to use breath controll (MIDI
controller C002 or somthing like that if you're controlling another
synth). If you get interested in this you might check out
www.windsynth.org this outfit is mainly devoted to saxaphone style MIDI
controllers like the Yamaha WX5. I've heard that the pitch and
modulation wheels are placed pretty well for using the DX100 as a strap
on. I've also heard that the DX100 isn't velosity sensitive. The DX100
uses a truncated form of the kind of FM synthesis that the DX7 uses. The
DX7 can play any sound made for the DX100 but the DX100 might be able to
make sound from some DX7 patches but they might not sound the same.

Sombody correct me if I'm wrong about the lack of velosity.

Yours,
Nathan

Is the DX-100 a good MIDI controller? I think it has breath control,

is that useful? Also, can you switch MIDI channels? I am thinking
purchasing one so I would like to hear from users like yourselves.

Any answers would be much appreciated,

Mwamba

I haven't seen a DX-100 for years, but if I remember right (1) the keys were not full sized, and (2) it was not velocity sensitive. It seems to me that (if I'm right about 1 & 2) it would only be useful in a very limited set of circumstances - breath controller work, maybe - if your fingers are smaller than mine - and I'm guessing there aren't too many non-Yamaha modules that respond to breath control. I don't know about switching channels.

And you didn't ask about the sounds, but they were the 4-op version (DX-9, 21, etc.) - never heard much I liked from those, though I do like my 4-op TQ-5 - it had waveform choices for each operator.

The Harmony Central reviews liked it okay, but mostly for its sounds (maybe I've been spoiled by my TX-7s?) - one mentioned velocity sensitivity in reference to programming, BUT, Yamaha would sometimes give you velocity sensitive sounds with a keyboard that didn't send velocity info.

Looks like they're selling between $150 and $200 US. Somebody mentioned strapping it on (it's small enough) - it's way portable, and could be used as a sound module, and can use DX-9 patches (there are sites you can download from).

So, as a multi-purpose little-bit-of-everything toy, it could be useful. As a dedicated controller, I don't think so (though the strap-on idea sounds pretty cool). Good luck.

My DX7II has been a harp (I heavily tweaked a patch called SUSHARP1) and
an organ (somewhat tweaked a patch caled GEORG) in a local symphony. One
of the orchestra members has a big 88 key Yamaha keyboard but the
conductor liked the full sound of the DX harp patch. Now we have found
out that a french horn player is moving away. The conductor seemed
surprisingly receptive to the idea of using a synthesizer and breath
controller. Any tips for a novice DXer?

Soli Deo Gloria,
Nathan

ok
i'll start with what i use my dx7 for.

i used to use it (with the rest of my arsenal) to make a sort of ambient,
leftfield, out there electronic sound with Cubase as my editor. about a year
ago a label called <A href=">NOISE
FACTORY RECORDS</A> picked me up and i put out an album called "the beauty of
strangness" and called myself sparroworange (<A
href=">MP3.com - sparroworange</A>). as of
late i am more into the lo-fi sound and i've recruited my brother (guitar
player) and we've made another album that is, well, more lo-fi and on a
completely new level. it will probably be called "hands and knees music".

i love my dx7, unlike most of the people i know who think it's an
unprogrammable, tinny sounding keyboard. but i've heard some of the most
beautiful sounds come out of it and i will always be using it.

dx7, my friends. awesome.

take care,
sparrow

I'm here NATHAN, Pete Francz for the DAVE BENSON list. I would like to
correspond with all DX7 users. I joined this list a couple months ago.
It would be great to generate some dialog.
Best Wishes,
Pete

Hi all, i finally got around dumping some of the patches i have in my
DX21 now
and uploaded them here at the files dir, i hope you'll enjoy them !
I sent them in 3 formats using MidiQuest ... .syx, .mid, and .sqg
