Since we're showing off programmers / controllers for the DX7 that we made...


 

Here's one that I built, to give real-time control to the DX7IID, it allows seamless transition from patch preset parameters to live control.



It totally changes the game on how an instrument can be played. as well as making FM synthesis fun.


 

No doubt, a very enticing controller. Perhaps if FM becomes a hot category again, some major manufacturer will take up Barlow's design, and let him retire in comfort. As a new owner of a DX7iiFD, I would love to see this happen -- maybe Behringer?


 

I've seen this before, and it's fabulous. I posted a link to the Behringer FB page, because that seemed the most likely company to take an interest in licensing this for manufacture

That is impressive.? It looks like you can change 32 parameters at once, but maybe I've miscounted.

How are you choosing which ones to edit with it?? Is there a way of choosing banks of parameters, and if so, which ones did you decide belong together, to be controlled by it at the same time?

Yep, 32, and they are all live, all the time. You can change as many at once as you can touch.

I can pick & choose with the software which control runs which parameter. Right now I usually have the eight most-often (for me) tweaked parameters for each voice set in groups. Operators 1-4 are on one page, 5 & 6 are one a second page, with the second page handling some LFO, feedback level, and other misc. functions.? I hit a key on the laptop that runs the software to select parameter pages, and the computer also handles the patch library. When started, the software loads part of the patch library with the patches from the instrument. The rest of the patch library is whatever other sounds I've been working with.

It would be better to have more controls, spaced closer together.


 

Sad news. Yahoo groups will be closed and contents deleted. So if you want to save some messages or files, do it soon.



Thanks to all colleagues here, it was nice to have a chance to discuss.

Good luck, and let’s meet at some other and better place again.

They claim that you'll still be able to interact with a group via email. I'm wondering for how long. There are other mailing list providers, and there are rumors of migration tools that might help the changeover, should folks want to go that route.

Hi All,

Sad, yes, but not all that surprising.? I started an eGroup back in 1998, before they merged with Yahoo Groups.? Yahoo closed GeoCities in a similar move some years ago, and I've been waiting for the 'other shoe to drop' since then.? I'm actually pleasantly surprised that Yahoo Groups avoided the axe for so long.? It's been essentially free, so Yahoo is within their rights to cancel the service.? Unfortunately, there isn't an exact alternative.

It has been very nice talking to all of you.? It looks like the email forwarding is going to stay for a while, so maybe we can keep the dialog going?

Regards,

-BW
