again: any help on hooking up a TX-7?


 

Hi,

I am still new to the list and still have the same question:

I own a DX-100, a KX-88, and some assorted sound modules and MIDI stuff. I have now bought a TX-7 sound generator, but I cannot get it to work with any of the keyboards. When I hook IN to OUT and OUT to IN of the KX-88, and change voices on the TX-7, it does send out some MIDI feedback to the KX-88 (control lights flicker), so something is transmitted. Every other connection to other MIDI works perfectly fine.

Stupid question therefore: Do I have to have a DX-7 or DX-9 keyboard to make the TX-7 work? (I am NOT speaking about patches, loading/saving, etc - I am speaking about getting ANY sound of the TX-7 at all...) The manual is not clear on this...

thanks for the help!

Make sure the KX is transmitting on the same channel as the TX

Check the Midi Volume of the TX

Make sure the audio out of the TX is going into a channel or board that is good. (verify good audio path.)

I've3 driven a pair of TX-7s with a KX-88 for 15 years! So it can
definitely be done...

-->Did you Connect your KX midi out to your TX midi in?

-->Did you make sure your KX is transmitting on the same channel the
TX is receiving on?

-->Did you try putting the TX in Omni mode?

-->Did you try sending program change info (make sure your TX is set
up to receive program changes!)? If so, did the patch change
successfully?

-->Are you sure your audio is set up right?

-->Are you sure the volume's up on your TX?

Sorry if some of these seem like "duh" questions - but these are some
of the things I've had to do in 15 years with my TXs.

Good luck!

Jay


 

Hi,

thanks to you and Bob for the kind help - I will go through.

And don't worry - I spefically asked it a s a STUPID question!

I had checked all volume settings, incl voice attenuation, but will probably have to dive more into the channel settings, etc. now - I used my KX-88 mostly in simple (purist) settings with the DX100, a Roland U220, and a Emu Proteus - I must have been lucky so far that everything always worked out without a prob...

If you use a KX-88 and a TX-7 - what's your set-up beyond that - which editor are you using, which sequencer, hooked up how?

watch out for more stupid, but hopefully not as basic questions!

Thanks again

HC
