For the links to things in this group's list, I got a persistent "400 Bad Request" error. Not sure why, as your links have everything I'd think they needed.
I think I have all the supplements Raul and Dan have at this point. (The ones I'm missing they're missing too) I've asked Dan if there's an archive of the Aftertouch magazines.
I'm still missing, if they exist, the owner's manual, service manual (in case I need to get it worked on by someone who doesn't have the service manual for it already) and Howard Massey's Amsco book. (I have it in hardcopy, but I'm really hoping I'm not going to have to scan it myself, as even with the hovercam it's going to take a very long time and I don't trust my scan quality) There may be other things I'm not aware of that it'd be very useful for me to have. (As long as they're not basic texts on MIDI, as I'm very strong with it, including innovations far past the DXII time period) So y'all feel free to tell me what else I'm missing.

Okay.??

The links for the owners manuals, within this yahoo group, are under "
Files > DX7 IIFD all I have > Manuals > Owners"

The page is here:



There are two links, which are very long and odd looking, which I'll paste here, but you might need to go to the page and look for them, if these don't work.

The file names are?

dx7IId-man.pdf

and

dx7ii.pdf

The links are?



and



For the booklets, and maybe some of the documentation, Rawl is one of the main sources of those, on that forum I linked to, but he didn't always make it clear what the content was. It might be worth contacting him to see what else he has. As I understand it, he didn't add all of his collection to the downloads section of that forum. He planned to set up his own site with it all, but I don't know if he ever did.

At the top of his downloads thread for booklets, it shows an image which says?

DX7II.FD/D
DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE ALGORITHM SYNTHESIZER SUPPLEMENTAL BOOKLET

but he only refers to them as "DX7II supplemental booklets".

In the first post, in that thread, there are links to PDFs for each individual booklet.

The thread is here, but I've pasted the main content below in case the page is too hard to read with your software:



Some of them may just be scans of the printed documents, of course, without actual text content other than as an image.

Here are the contents of Rawl's first post, with all the links for the booklets. I see at least a couple that aren't on your list:

After a PM request for download links for the DX7II supplemental booklets previously available on the old site downloads section, I decided to publish download links for these hosted on my company web site. Here are the links for those booklets that Daniel Forró and I scanned and converted to PDF:

01_Quick_Reference_Guide


02_DX7s_Quick_Guide (NEED)

03_Memory_Management_(DXII)


04 Memory_Management_for_the_DX7s (NEED)

05_Voicing_Parameter_Reference_Guide


06_Utility_Parameter_Reference_Guide


07_Advanced_Controller_Usage


08_Realtime_Parameter_Change


09_Advanced_MIDI_Applications (NEED)

10_MIDI_Technical_Data_and_Charts


11_Modifying_Preset_Voices


12_Creating_New_FM_Voices


13_Understanding_Fractional_Scalings


14_Programming_Fractional_Scalings


15_Exploring_the_Presets_Microtuning


16_The_Mathematics_&_History_of_Microtuning


17_The_Acoustics_of_Microtuning


18_The_Psychoacoustics_of_Microtuning


19_Advanced_Microtuning_Data


20_Macrotuning


I have much other DX & FM synthesis material in digital form but will need to establish a formal web area on one of my sites if I am to be able to host them in an organized and readily available format. Meanwhile, I hope some of you find these useful...

Jan 2018 - update thanks to kaizendave of this forum for providing:

01_Quick_Reference_Guide.pdf
11_Modifying_Preset_Voices.pdf?

to the collection!

Cheers,
Rawl

Okay, other than the Howard Massey book I think I've got just about everything there is on the market. I wish I could find the Massey it'd save massive time with the hovercam. But it all sounds good, and I'm going to have a lot of reading to do.

The list you gave, of leaflets you have, started at 5, and didn't include 11, Nyyki. The links I gave, from Rawl's updated post, contain 1, 3 and 11.

The service manual is in this group too, but there are quite a few related files. Those are here:



Here are the filenames, and sizes, from that page:

If the groups pages don't work for you, all I can think of is uploading them somewhere else, e.g. the??forum, if no one objects, or maybe temporarily to dropbox.

There is an archive of Aftertouch magazines, in that forum, which is here:



Here's the list of topics, from that page:

Aftertouch Magazine Individual Issues 1988-1989
by Saul ? Wed May 30, 2018 6:33 pm

Aftertouch Magazine Individual Issues 1987
by Saul ? Wed May 30, 2018 6:26 pm

Aftertouch Magazine Individual Issues 1985-1986

AfterTouch Complete
by Saul ? Sun Jun 11, 2017 11:56 am?

(Saul is the site owner/admin).

The "Complete" version is one giant PDF file, downloaded as a 230MB zip file, which could easily cause problems, though I've been able to look in it easily enough with Foxitreader (a PDF reader).

The other pages might be more useful, but each contains a long list of links to smaller PDFs.

Are you able to navigate and read those pages, or should I try to paste content here?

Just as an experiment, here's one link, to the first issue there (I think). Let me know if this works for you, and also if you're able to get to the rest of it, by browsing:



If I turn CSS off in my browser (with View->Page Style->No Style, in Waterfox), I see menus near the top, then the content, so it looks like it ought to work fairly well in a screen reader (from the little I've been told about them); you'd just have to wade through all those menus, on each page, before you got to the good parts. There are a couple of pictures, but nothing important - e.g, on this first page, I see the site logo, an advert, a picture of Saul, then a magazine cover. The main parts are all in text.

Aftertouch Magazine Individual Issues 1985-1986 <>?



Aftertouch Magazine Individual Issues 1987


Aftertouch Magazine Individual Issues 1988-1989


AfterTouch Complete (one huge file!)

which links to:
?(the 230MB zip, containing the huge PDF... which, oddly, is only 221MB).

Hi all

I'm also still looking for these PDF's from the DX Supplemental Booklets set, I don't suppose they've turned up? I can't seem to locate them online either.

02_DX7s_Quick_Guide (NEED)
04 Memory_Management_for_the_DX7s (NEED)
09_Advanced_MIDI_Applications (NEED)

Massive thanks to JB for providing 09_Advanced_MIDI_Applications.pdf

(For some reason I cannot see his reply here although I did receive an email.)

I think I started indexing a couple of them, by adding bookmarks.? I use Foxit Reader 3.something, but the bookmarks seem to be compatible with other PDF readers.

Thanks for upload, and for NR. 9 which was still missing. I’m the author of the project of scanning all this (also Aftertouch magazines and more), which I could finish with the help of colleague Rawl Gelinas from Yamaha DX yahoo group, and some contributors who sold or sent original material.

It would be nice to add credits.

Have you scanned Nr. 9?

So now only two booklets for DX7S are missing…
