I think OPS7 needs to be in “classic” mode, not “extended” mode.

Then you need to go to the SYX page and find a SYSEX dump (32 patches)

Copy (left-click, shift to select all of the sysex patches) and drag them to either A or B

Then there are a couple of parameters within OPS7 that are open for you to use in a macro controller...

?

i.e.

?

B:Bank Patch (has 0-31 values) – parameter 576

A:Bank Patch (has 0-31 values) – parameter 512

?

I found these from OPS7 running as a VST within Pluginguru Unify

?

In Reaper... not sure, but it must be possible through the midi edit screen to locate the above parameters.

B.t.w, I tried it for hrs now, but cannot find a way responding to MIDI

program change commands even in "settings" I checked the box to activate.

Tried standalone, VST2 and VST3.

?

While "Dexed" is VST3 only, in Reaper it?s possible to force it to

respond to MIDI PrgCh on any MIDI channel I like.

?

So, when you?ve found a way for CS OPS-7,- let us know please.

Otherwise it?s unusable in a combinmed soft- and heardware rig for gigging !

One of the things I learned early on – like back in the 80s – is that while the TX802 claims to be a rack DX, it’s not exactly.

In about 1988, the Yamaha Marketing nobs came out with patches to compete with the new Roland D50 and they were handing them out.? Glassy, breathy, wooden… that kinda stuff.? Very cool and new for FM.

Whether operator timing or envelope velocity or others, the patches would not translate to DX.? Maybe it was out on the edges of the functions, but it wouldn’t sound anything like the 802.? Lots of other stuff was plenty close, but most of these were not.? I dunno.? Trouble is, some of these are my absolute faves and are indispensible even today.

So dumping the 802, which I’ve considered many times – I run my pair in even/odd mode – hasn’t worked in a simple manner that I’ve found.

Hi All,

I have a TX802 that I have been gigging with for years.? At this point, though, I would like to retire it to the studio 100% of the time for a couple of reasons:

1. The sheer age of the synth is starting to scare me -- i.e., moving around a 30-35 year old piece of gear in a van, along with it's old set of capacitors, etc.? I'm waiting for the day when it doesn't boot when I flip the switch.

2. I'm trying to lighten my rig.? Most of the sound electronics is in a large rack with wheels, affectionately called "the beast," that weighs about 70 lbs./32kg, loaded, including my 17" laptop.? Cutting 10 lbs. out of that would make a big difference to this 66-year-old's back.

I'm looking at Dexed, Arturia's DX7 V, and Korg's new OPsix Native, a soft version of their OPsix.? The latter two have friendlier interfaces and effects, but the 'tech-iness' of Dexed doesn't really scare me, and I have plenty of effects in my digital mixer.? Are there others I should look at?? Specifically, I'm interested in any experience with:

• Running multiple VSTi instances to get multi-timbral use.? (I use multiple FM sounds in some songs.)
• Crashes and such, particularly with Cakewalk by Bandlab and Windows 10.
• Ease (or difficulty) of porting TX802 (DX7II) sounds to a pure DX7 emulation.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hello everyone.

After reading that article on replacing the battery base for the machine, I tried to replace the battery base myself, but due to my poor soldering skills (first time using it), I accidentally burned the solder joint in the negative battery hole, making it impossible to adsorb solder now.






Can I connect a wire from the right solder post and run it through the negative hole of the battery?

Thanks to all the experts for their input.

I know that the DX21 used to have all of the factory presets stored in Read Only Memory chips,? I could restore 8 sounds at a time into the internal RAM memory.? Not sure about the 81Z, you may need to restore via MIDI (but get the manual online to find out!).? Also look up DX11 and V2 – they are the same synth and similar to the TX81Z.

Subject: [YamahaDX] TX81Z patch question

Hi there -

?

I recently acquired a TX81Z. I've been using the Edisyn patch editor

on a Mac to do some editing - but I'm still learning about the system.

I'm curious if there is a straightforward way to restore to factory

preset defaults - I'd like to start experimenting with new patches,

but I don't necessarily want to lose the old ones!

Does anyone use a similar workflow and have any suggestions?

?

Thanks,

More accurate measuring reveals the thread pitch may be 1.4mm.
A hint for inserting self-tapping screws into old plastic is to first rest the screw in the hole then back the screw out slowly until you feel it drop into the thread. Then screw it in as normal and don't over-tighten.

As I said before, the shorter screw (on the back panel near the power) is 4 x 8mm. A 13mm screw will be too long here.

Also note, that the length of a screw is usually measured at the length of the threads, not the whole screw.
