Thanks for sharing with me. I figure people would laugh at the simple old cassette days but I'm glad there's a way. I'm using a Boss BR1600 for recording. Very nice machine for the price. Takes a while to beat the learning curve though. Thanks again !!!

If you have a sound card with a game port then you can buy a game-port-to-MIDI cable, then in Jsynthlib select the "MPU401 Out" MIDI output port.? If not you will have to buy a USB-to-MIDI interface. --- In YamahaDX@..., Martin Tarenskeen wrote: > > > > On Tue, 16 Aug 2011, Neal C. wrote: > > > ? > > > > Wow. > > ?

You can use my latest update of DXconvert to convert the library to

Other (related) news:
DXconvert can now also read single DX21/TX81Z editvoice patches, not only
complete banks. I needed to implement this before I could read Greg's

I actually fixed this. I had to manually change the Sens. values on some of the modules for the DX5 keyboard.

I am sure there must be something available out there? Or install STeem and use my Atari program YSEDITOR PLUS. But YSEDITOR probably can't read this JSynthlib patch collection. The Jsynthlib collection of 4-op patches needs to be converted to standard 32-patches/bank sysex files so that it won't require JSynthlib to load them. Personally I think JSynthlib is nice, but many people have trouble installing and/or using it. -- MT
