Re: Patches for the DX7 II by sound source unlimited
Greytsounds seems to only carry 2 of the DX7iIFD banks - New Age & Super R&B. The New Age bank is actually quite interesting and not so much newagey as just experimental. Super R&B is very dated.

Re: Noise problem
When you say digital noise I am assuming that you mean noise that is part
of the sound not background noise, hiss or hum. If that is the case it
could be due to fundamental differences between the DX7

Re: Noise problem
It is known that the DX7II (and TX802) has a better S/N ratio than the original DX7 (and TX7). Better D/A converters. I can't judge if the amount of noise you are experiencing is more than what is

Noise problem
Hi,
I sold my DX7II and bought a DX7. This one has a digital noise on some patches. I think its depend on the algorithm.
I never had such noise on my DX7II or not so loud.
Is this a knowing

Re: Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
Well, yes and no. In theory, one can program the NRPN portion and then use the Data Slider (CC6 and CC38) at will, until a new NRPN is chosen. However, for safety's sake, the 9-byte (OR 12-byte)

Re: Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
Agreed.? My DSI Tetras are the same:? one can only change 20-25 out of about 200 parameters using CC; the rest are NRPN.? And yes, the NRPNs are 14-bit.

Re: Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
Hi Andy,
I am working on this already and it is close to be released. It is easy on MIDI messaging level, but it required more work on the pot reading functions. I am safe now with 10/11-bit readings

Re: Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
Technically NRPN/RPNS are a special case of normal CC messages. So if CC is supported properly, NRPNs/RPMS are also supported.
Right?

Re: Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
Oops. I meant to say "Although NRPNs are 14 bit", though actually some CCs (31 of them?) are allowed to be 14 bit too, and that's used on a few synths, like the Moog Minitaur, for example.
So, maybe

Re: Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
As well as MIDI CCs, it would be a good idea to support NRPNs, and maybe RPNS.
I can think of two synths I own that rely heavily on NRPNs, for external control / patch editing - the DSI Mopho

Hi Nicole,
it is a standalone device, computer is needed only for editing the presets and instrument files. Once you have your presets in Electra, it does not need a computer. You can, however, keep

sorry I had to get some sleep.
At this moment it works with DX7, Rhodes Chroma, and generally with Continuous controllers. These were proof of concept synths and also I was always very frustrated to

Re: Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
It looks like a fun one. Being able to pull up a patch, then seamlessly start tweaking is an ability that makes all the difference in the world, but is lacking in most controller / editors.

Re: Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
Okay, a couple of questions.
Am I reading this right, that it's computer control for patch editing for DX7/TX7 devices? If so, how blind accessible is it? Meaning, does it use standard Windows

Re: Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
Hi Tom,
yes it does. If you connect both MIDI IN and OUT of your DX7 to Electra it will communicate with it to keep in sync.
If DX7 is on the list of connected devices (define in Electra’s preset)

Hardware programmer for DX7/TX7
Hi there,
I have put together a programmer that can be used for working with DX7/TX7. It was originally designed for Rhodes Chroma, but supporting my TX7 came to my mind immediately after Chroma
