Re: DXconvert-1.1.5

Hi Martin,You don't need DXconvert for this. (DXconvert is for 6-op DX synths.) TX81Z should load DX21 SysEx patchdumps without much problems. If you wish you can use that MIDIOX program again to dump the SysEx to your TX81Z. Make sure MIDI SysEx is enabled, the correct channel, memory protect off, cables are connected correctly, things like that. Note: Two important things will get lost. The TX81Z does not have a Chorus effect, and the TX81Z does not have a Pitch Envelope Generator. These parameters will be ignored, but the patches can still be used anyway. -- MT |

DXconvert-1.1.5
Hi,
I made a minor change in DXconvert-1.1.5. When converting a big library into separate 32-patch syx files, the outfiles are now numbered using zero-padding. For example: python dxconvert.pyw VERYBIGFILE outfile.syx would produce something like outfile(001).syx ... outfile(099).syx ... outfile(999).syx Now available in YamahaDXFiles/files section. -- MT |

Re: Please help with mystery "Michael Jackson" DX7 files (No File Extension)
开云体育every body is making me jealous because i can not
do much computing at the moment and there is a bunch of new voices to
explore.
i looked in opcode and think i saw originals from
the groups file section
can somebody verify this ,,are these new voices or
duplicates?

If nobody is planning to convert those patches (and there are a LOT of them), I will do it later tonight...
So, if you are lazy :) just sit and wait...

Nevertheless, if somebody is half-way finished with conversion,?he/she can?send a message to the group, and spare my/our free time :)

Hello :) About 10 years ago a friend picked up a DX7 and the gentlemen who sold it also threw in a disc of files that were used in Michael Jackson's Thriller album as well as MJ's Bad Tour. The problem we have, now ten years removed, is i'm not sure what format these files are. Could someone here please take a look at them to see what type of file extension or what work we need to do to be able to use them? Ideally we'd like to convert them into sysex so they can be imported into Native Instruments FM8. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated. I've uploaded the files in a .ZIP archive here |

I expect DXconvert-1.1.5 will be able to convert most of your files to DX7 sysex.I have uploaded DXconvert-1.1.5.zip to the following locations: NEW in version 1.1.5: I have implemented a new simple and effective "--offset" commandline option. (Not available in the GUI version). I have found I can convert many, but not all, of the DX7 files in the collection uploaded by geminisolstice if I use --offset=2 python dxconvert.pyw --offset=2 INFILE OUTFILE.SYX This seems to work with the files with a filesize of 4098, 4128, 6146 bytes. This new option can be a simple workaround for files DXconvert does not recognize (yet). -- MT |

Re: Controller assignment in DX7 family

Further to this.

1. I have confirmed with a user of the DX200 that it received Mono/Poly, PB & porta from ACED parameter change (3b.), but did not receive PLG150DX's XG controller-assign parameter changes (4b.) We tried the following but it didn't work: F0 43 10 4C 07 02 00 0F F7 - assign PLG150DX part no. 16 F0 43 10 4C 08 0F 04 0n F7 - set part 16's receive channel to n+1 F0 43 10 4C 08 0F 20 00 F7 - turn part 16 mod-wheel pitch-mod off F0 43 10 4C 08 0F 1E 60 F7 - turn part 16 mod-wheel filter up So it seems DX200 users are stuck with mod-wheel pitch-mod & inoperative aftertouch. 2. The FS1R receives operator AM sensitivity and pitch-EG parameters from DX7 single-voice ACED bulk dump (3a.) sent before DX7 single-voice VCED bulk dump, but mono/poly, PB and porta are in FS1R performance part parameters and controller assign in FS1R performance common parameters. 3. The DX5 and DX1 receive TX7 performance data (2a., 2b., 2c.) --- In YamahaDX@..., "Greg" <gholwell60@...> wrote:

Many of the files seem to be DX7/TX816 patchbanks in a format even DXconvert does not recognize yet. Looks like I will have to add yet another file format to the many fileformats DXconvert already recognizes. I will analyze the files and see what I can do. I expect DXconvert-1.1.5 will be able to convert most of your files to DX7 sysex. Be patient, I don't have much time to work on it right now, MT -- P.S: Your files clearly demonstrate that file extensions are a BAD way to identify files: most of the files in the zip have NO extension at all :-) |

1. This also affects Mono/Poly, pitch-bend range and portamento mode/time.

2. The DX200 manual says that the ACED parameters (3a.) are not used but does not include the XG multi-part sysex (4.) used by the PLG150DX. Someone out there with a DX200 (which, according to another post, includes the PLG150DX board) may be able to confirm which of these work. --- In YamahaDX@..., "Greg" <gholwell60@...> wrote:
