It even looks like has a migration tool for moving most content from yg.

If the group and moderators want to move it to the premium plan on I'll gladly pay the fees for the first year.
Just let me know.

Yeah, that has to be figured into the mix.? Three groups is probably
to get around the file limitations; at least, I know that
YamahaDXFiles is a dummy list, intended for file storage only.? This
is perhaps the biggest downside of 开云体育 vs. Yahoo Groups:?
Yahoo allows 2GB of photos, and 1GB of files; while 开云体育 allows
1GB total in the free package.? The premium package allows 10GB (and
adds many features), but costs a monthly/annual fee.
On the plus side, they claim to have tools to port a Yahoo Group to
their site.

Some people seem to forget that there are actually
3 groups: YamahaDX, YamahaDXfiles and DX_Files. Is it
the same moderators for all three?

Hi Bruce,
Yeah I saw that too, might be worth trying the
free version at least for now.

Regarding archiving this groups is anyone here
doing something ? I took 2+ hours yesterday
evening to save one by one many files from here
and YamahaDXFiles group and now I'm running a
python script
()
to backups the messages. I'll be happy to help
doing a nice archive of this group to help anyone
wanting to revisit it in the future.
Don't hesitate to chime in to talk about it.
Cheers,
Jonas

Re: Since we're showing off programmers / controllers for the DX7 that we made...
Hi All,
Sad, yes, but not all that surprising.? I started an eGroup back in
1998, before they merged with Yahoo Groups.? Yahoo closed GeoCities
in a similar move some years ago, and I've been waiting for the
'other shoe to drop' since then.? I'm actually pleasantly surprised
that Yahoo Groups avoided the axe for so long.? It's been
essentially free, so Yahoo is within their rights to cancel the
service.? Unfortunately, there isn't an exact alternative.
It has been very nice talking to all of you.? It looks like the
email forwarding is going to stay for a while, so maybe we can keep
the dialog going?
Regards,
-BW

Sad news. Yahoo groups will be closed and contents
deleted. So if you want to save some messages or files, do
it soon.
Thanks to all colleagues here, it was nice to have a
chance to discuss.
Good luck, and let’s meet at some other and better place
again.

Re: Since we're showing off programmers / controllers for the DX7 that we made...
They claim that you'll still be able to interact with a group via email. I'm wondering for how long. There are other mailing list providers, and there are rumors of migration tools that might help the changeover, should folks want to go that route.

Re: Since we're showing off programmers / controllers for the DX7 that we made...
Yep, 32, and they are all live, all the time. You can change as many at once as you can touch.
I can pick & choose with the software which control runs which parameter. Right now I usually have the eight most-often (for me) tweaked parameters for each voice set in groups. Operators 1-4 are on one page, 5 & 6 are one a second page, with the second page handling some LFO, feedback level, and other misc. functions.? I hit a key on the laptop that runs the software to select parameter pages, and the computer also handles the patch library. When started, the software loads part of the patch library with the patches from the instrument. The rest of the patch library is whatever other sounds I've been working with.
It would be better to have more controls, spaced closer together.

Re: Since we're showing off programmers / controllers for the DX7 that we made...
That is impressive.? It looks like you can change 32 parameters at once, but maybe I've miscounted.
How are you choosing which ones to edit with it?? Is there a way of choosing banks of parameters, and if so, which ones did you decide belong together, to be controlled by it at the same time?

I've seen this before, and it's fabulous. I posted a link to the Behringer FB page, because that seemed the most likely company to take an interest in licensing this for manufacture

Japanese DX7 Upgrade Board
Well you can imagine that this would be best country to get a DX7 expansion board from, yet I've never heard of this one before. Google does a decent job of translating, but the link is horrible. So, here is the original: Anyone ever seen one?

Re: Since we're showing off programmers / controllers for the DX7 that we made...
No doubt, a very enticing controller. Perhaps if FM becomes a hot category again, some major manufacturer will take up Barlow's design, and let him retire in comfort. As a new owner of a DX7iiFD, I would love to see this happen -- maybe Behringer?

Since we're showing off programmers / controllers for the DX7 that we made...
Here's one that I built, to give real-time control to the DX7IID, it allows seamless transition from patch preset parameters to live control.
It totally changes the game on how an instrument can be played. as well as making FM synthesis fun.

Re: Some keys not working on DX21
?
I just got another update. I got all the keys to play but
whenever I hit C plus any note ranging from C# to E, it
keeps playing all octaves simultaneously. I don’t know how
to fix that malfunction.
This sounds like a broken diode in the diode matrix.
|
Re: Some keys not working on DX21
Have you verified that with an init patch, just to make sure it's not some weird feature of the patch you're trying it with?
It sounds like it might be a keyboard matrix ghosting problem.? Keyboard matrix scanning relies on diodes, to stop phantom key presses happening when you press more than one key at once.
If you think of a matrix scanned in rows and columns - picture it as a grid - and you press keys closing three points, making three corners of a rectangle on the grid, it would be equivalent to pressing the fourth corner too, unless there were diodes there.
it's harder to picture how that happens with two keys at once, but I haven't seen the service manual or schematics.
So, I'd suggest checking the diodes that are part of the keyboard scanning circuit... there might be quite a lot of them, I guess.
Some multimeters have a diode setting, which shows you the voltage across the diode - typically 0.2V to 0.65V from anode to cathode, depending on the type of diode.?
If you don't have that sort of meter, just a volt meter, a 1k resistor (or similar) and a battery will do fine - connect the volt meter across the diode, and feed power from the battery to one end of the diode, completing the circuit from the other end, like this:
Battery + -> 1k resistor -> anode of diode
cathode of diode -> battery -
A single AA battery, or two or three in a clip, would be fine.
For a working diode, you'd get a voltage drop from the anode to the cathode, in that range - most likely around 0.6V.? If you don't get the reading, try the probes the other way.? A reading of 0V or significantly more than 0.6V indicates a dead diode.
