TX81Z patch bank demos

 

Hey everyone, to alleviate quarantine boredom I have been making bedroom studio demos of old TX81Z SSU (Sound Source Unlimited) patch banks. I got them from Greytsounds on their eBay page and they were very successful distracting me from the state of the world. Hope you enjoy them! I can tell you these will also work in the V50 (although you'll need to manually adjust the polyphony), and the TQ5, but only the patches, not perfs (which to me is the whole point). Another user has confirmed DX11 full compatibility.

Hope everyone is healthy, and avoiding humans by playing your synths.

Somehow I can’t open Greyt Sounds web… I would like to have these sets in my collection. Thanks fo this info. I have all 12 SSU sets for DX7II, but didn’t know they made also this for TX81z.

Besides other sets I have another two sets from SSU - R & B Dance and Designer. I have converted them directly from old tapes thanks to CAS application. I did the same with WDB01 library for WX wind controller and TX81z/WT11.

You can try to convert TX sounds in Martin Tarenskeen application TXConvert to other 4-OP synthesizers. Unfortunately only voices, not performances. But it would be possible at least to emulate TX performances in V50. I have now 4 TX81z and 5 V50 (besides many other FM and other instruments), somehow I fell in love with V50. Underestimated instrument…

Thanks for such great info everyone!

Daniel- their website hasn't worked in a long time. I got the TX stuff on their eBay page:

PS my photos on the TX demos- some are faked, as I didn't have original tapes or disks. If anyone has a good photo of volumes 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 that would be killer to have. Or documentation I can post.

From my initial investigation of the V50 banks, a great many TX81Z patches are duplicated, but enhanced. For example, the NY Collection (v50) = Classic FM (TX81Z), but now with FX and better polyphony. The V50 is great and 16 voice poly makes it a joy to play.

Daniel, how do you set your TX81Z's up? Even/Odd is kind of lame, you don't really double the polyphony. MIDI routing in the DAW?
