I feel like this is a stupid question, but why is book four missing? I’m going to dig into my library to see if I have it somewhere in my manuals for the DX7II-FD.

Thanks to all for their hard work and dedication! It's amazing how detailed Yamaha's work was.

I have an unusual question, does anyone know of a service that will bind one or more PDFs into a book? I understand that the formatting would probably be a mess, but I would like a paper version of the complete set at some point. Or however many have been found at the time I move forward. This is just for myself, for posterity.

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.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant bound, either hard cover or soft. A ton of people are doing self publishing so there must be someplace. Hoping to find someone that had done it before is all.

Hi Daniel, nice to see you here and THANK YOU for all your hard work preserving these resources.

I didn't scan it myself -- I am pretty sure it showed up quite recently (last 6 months), either on the Yamaha forum or on one of the Facebook groups. If I can figure out where I got it, I'll let you know.

It would be nice to add credits.

Have you scanned Nr. 9?

So now only two booklets for DX7S are missing…

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.

Anyway, my pleasure. I can't remember if I got it on a Facebook group or on the Yamaha forum. In any case, 1 down, 2 to go. It would be fantastic to get issues #2 and #4 at some point, I'm sure they're out there somewhere.

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 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.
