DX patches

Does anyone know where I can find Arabic, Turkish, Greek sounds/voice or oriental voices for a Yamaha DX7 FIID? Have surfed the net for days, but have not been successful I know that Yamaha had added ouds, nays, sornas, mizmars, and watariyats to the regular collection of voices on the PSR-A1000(european/middle east export version). Is anyone aware of any DX patches that may exist for Arabian, Khaligi, Iranian, Turkish, and Greek styles. Thanks

You can help make any patches sound authentic to the music of these regions by using the microtuning feature found on page 50 of the XD7 II FD manual.? It is also possible with TX802.? There are a few preset and a few user memory spaces for these non-12 tone tunings.? The tuning settings?do not live within the patch settings, I think it is a Performance setting.

Thanks for that Nick,?

I have played around with these in the past with limited success.
Also finding it difficult to switch quickly from one patch to another within a suitable time frame - whereas performance patches can be changed relatively quickly.
?
If possible I am looking for patches akin to Yamaha PSRa 5000 "Istanbul Strings, OUD - etc World Instruments" Suitable for the DX7 - ???
?
I am open to further suggestions

PS I'm not very tech savvy ... I know just enough to get by LOL......

I collect DX7 patches since 1986, but never found any Near East, Arabian, Turkish, Iranian, Greek, Balkan… patch.

The only ethnic patches I know are African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Jamaican, and some European (accordions, recorder, bag-pipes, fiddle, hurdy-gurdy, some percussions). It wouldn’t be easy to program those Oriental patches on DX7. But I know some Balkan musicians used DX11, and Casio CZ successfully for imitation of some folk instruments. If you need them, find some sampler or sample based synthesizer or arranger keyboard specialized on this type of sounds (and even styles), like Yamaha PSR1000, Korg PA80 with Turkish card or so.

Hi,

DX7 wasn't really a synth of choice in the Balkan ethno-music. DX21, DX11 and V50, Casio CZ101 and later the SY77 were the most used ones. I have Balkan patches for DX21, DX11 and V50 lying around, but I couldn't test them, so I can't judge the quality. I should also have a bank or two of DX7/DX7II Balkan patches. I've bought recently a TX81z, and I could theoretically test these patches and do some selection, but I am in the middle of renovating my apartment, and all my equipment is packed in the basement at the moment. There is also a Romanian web-forum, offering some DX and V50 patches, but you need to buy premium membership to download files. They have a loooot of sampled voices for newer sample-based keyboards (Genos, Tyros, PSR-S..., PSR-A...) regards Boban Am 15.02.2025 um 13:55 schrieb Daniel Forró via groups.io: I collect DX7 patches since 1986, but never found any Near East, Arabian, Turkish, Iranian, Greek, Balkan… patch. |
开云体育Just a simple hint: if your are looking
for something from a dedicated culture, then search like if you'd
be from that culture: Use translate.google.com or deepl.com or
similar, translate your request to the corresponding language and
do the search.
Of course your results will be in the same language, so it will be a lot of translation effort then - but I was really successful with this method. And of course don't search for "arabian DX-7 sounds" but instead look for "Oud or Bouzouki as DX-7 sound". You never would search for a "american steel guitar sound", because americans never would mention their own culture within that search.
