Hello Everyone, I am a 65 yr old Hammond Organ Company Artist. I’ve been playing in bands professionally since 1969. I always had a Hammond and a Fender Rhodes. In the 80s I was finally able to afford a Korg Poly61 synth but it had preprogrammed sounds and I got by doing all the synth songs of the 80s. I now own a DX7|QX7, sustain pedal, volume pedal, 3 proms and 2 cassettes of which I know squat about. I need help learning how to program this nice keyboard. I live in Winchester, southern middle Tennesse about 90 miles south of Nashville. I am not past traveling to someone that would be willing to teach me how to use my DX7. Thanks for any help or advice!!! -- Kevin Syler

Excellent post, Bruce! Hello Kevin, Just to add on to what Bruce said, there is a free Oberheim plug-in called “Obxd” available as an Audio Unit or as a VST. Works great in GarageBand, MainStage, ProTools and Logic Pro X. There is already a “Jump” preset available in this AU. Check it out. https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/logic-pro-expert/logic-pro-blog/2016/10/19/free-oberheim-ob-x-emulation-synth-for-mac For storing patches from your DX7 and for uploading patch(es) to it "SysEx Librarian” works well (in addition to your DAW of course). https://www.snoize.com/sysexlibrarian/ Happy Gigging, E?

Hi, If I open my V50 I see two little trimmer pots on the KS Circuit board labeled "Gain" and "Offset". I think something can be finetuned with these (velocity? aftertouch?) that might be useful for me. Has anyone ever touched these? What do they do exactly when turned clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Dear Friends! Just uploaded some files for the KX88 to the "Files" section (including schematic). I'd like to ask if anyone managed to dump out or find the firmware for it? Thank You!! Good health to all of you!

Hi everyone, I bought this printer that was part of the Yamaha MSX computer system probably in 1990 but I never had the computer system. The buttons on the top match the DX-7's and it is very cool. It is missing the ribbon unfortunately. Other than keeping it with my other museum pieces not sure what I would do with it. I just powered it on and the head moved and it made noises but the error light is illuminated (could be because it isn't plugged into anything.) Is there someone that has the computer that needs the matching printer? Figured I would see if anyone in this group was interested.. Wish I could use the pristine membrane to fix my DX-7 (just kidding..) If not I can mount it up next to the DX-7 since they match! Dom

To anyone who can help. How can I restore the functionality to my DX 21. It has lost everything...I mean EVERYTHING. Thanks

Hi, The Korg 707 and Korg DS-8. A Korg synth from the outside, a Yamaha 4-operator FM synth inside. I have started a new Facebook group around these two Korg synths. Currently I am the only member. New members welcome ... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1553765824818859 -- MT

DX9 SYSEX and Videos <----- click here for a google share with videos and sysex from my DX9. I have to admit - back in the day when I had a DX21, during the 80s, I went over a work colleagues home as he had told me that he had a DX9 in the living room. I was intrigued. I think I probably laughed until he told me it was 16 note polyphonic and has access to all of the fine tune ratios that the DX21 didn't ( boo !!!! ). Wasn't until March 2020 that I got one for myself and am pleasantly surprised. Since then I have been making my own patches and modifying those that load from mk1 DX7 patches. The DX9 shares a similar engine to the original DX7. I have some videos that demo the DX9 sounds through a behringer foot pedal. The videos show my laptop desktop which has a Reaper spectrum analyser running. The videos have been posted to youtube but they are also on a google drive share along with the sysex. If any of you want to audition the sysex it will work on a DX9 and probably on an original DX7. If anyone has any amazing DX7 mk1 patches they would like to share with me, I wouldn't mind having a bash at seeing how they load on the DX9. I have noticed that very few of the public domain sysex loads on the DX9. Probably as they use parameters like fixed ratios that the DX9 can't work out perhaps??? DX9 SYSEX and Videos

Good Evening (Well it is here) I have some issues with my 802, Some times it would boot and some times I got a initial boot screen and then it would dim. After a power cycle it would work. However, two weeks ago it wouldn't pass the boot screen. The circuit diagram gives +5 and +15 however my power board gave 4.6 and 14.3. After tweaking the pot Im now back up to 5/15V however, this took quite a turn. So This brings on a question why did the voltage drop is it bad caps? and how long can I use this before it start failing again and I need a tweak to Max... So I recon i have to recap the power supply and replace the large 1W power resistors. Any other pointers?

Geoff Having looked further into the issue with JSynthLib that you reported, it would seem that the legacy Java SE 6 runtime (Java for OS X 2017-001) is an absolute requirement on OS X 10.15.x. You can get that from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US As Andy has previously mentioned: for this to work, the application bundle labeled version 1.0 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/jsynthlib/ must be used. One more thing… in the Preferences window, ensure that the correct MIDI driver has been selected. There you have it! E?

Thanks all, This one hit the spot.

Hi group ! I just got an email that this group is 'downgraded' to free level. This means at least that there are no costs involved keeping this group alive (yay !) What it means wrt (extra) functionality remains to be seen but we still got enough storage space so that's no problem for now. This is from the email : As a reminder, here are some of the benefits of the Premium plan: Ability to directly add people to your group Expanded storage space Ability to accept donations Premium support If you find something changed or isn't working (anymore) pls. let me know. We can then discuss if it's important enough to start a funding action or not. Regards, Richard Gelderblom

Good news everyone ! </farnsworth> I've posted this into a different group but thought it could be useful to let all of you know about it since some of you might also got a TX along with your DX7 ! Many years ago, as I started my journey into this FM synths deep rabbit hole, I've been welcomed by friendly people from next to my home to the other side of the ocean and I got many helpful answers to my many questions. Time passes and now it's time for me to give back to all of you and especially to Daniel Forró whom gave me precious tips and documentation to fix my TX816 back in the days. Without further ado I have the honour of releasing a better quality (600x600dpi) scan of the TX816 service manual in full including it's oversize schematics ! I bought it on the web few months ago along some other rare Yamaha documents (that I intend to scan also) and it took me few hours of scanning and stitching (and few minutes of swearing also). I hope that it'll help anyone who have to fix or enhance this mighty Yamaha workhorse ! You'll find the link here: https://archive.org/details/tx-816-service-manual (as the schematics are 40MiB and the manual 125MiB I couldn't upload them here, feel free to copy/host them elsewhere) This put an end to a quest I started 3 years ago to get a better quality PDF of this manual in order to facilitate my repairs on my TX, I'm happy that it ended. I don't ask for any payback of course this is all free for you get ! <shameless plug> I just want to add that to this day I've got a near complete TX516 with 3 missing modules to complete my TX816 so if you got working or defective TF1 units that you'll be ready to spare I'll be happy to talk with you about them ! I fix electronic consoles and music gear so dead units won't be a to much of a problem. </shameless plug> Anyway have a nice day and keep the spirit of the FM alive ! Long live Yamaha FM ! Jonas

DEAR FRIENDS. I AM FROM BRAZIL AND RIGHT NOW, I'VE BOUGHT A DX7S IN EXCELENTE CONDITION. BUT, UNFORTUNALY SOME ORIGINAL PATCHES ARE MISSING. HOW COULD I RECOVER THESE ORIGINAL FACTORY PATCHES AND PERFORMANCES? THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE IF SOMEONE CULD HELP ME. BEST REGARDS. ROGER LATTOUF De: [email protected] <[email protected]> em nome de 12-op <12opsynths@...> Enviado: quarta-feira, 29 de julho de 2020 14:08 Para: [email protected] <[email protected]> Assunto: [YamahaDX] V50 SSU (sound source) patches? Hi all, After making Sound Source patch videos for the DX7iiFD and TX81Z I am now on to the V50. I found the first 4 disks online. Quite good! But disks 5 and 6 have not turned up. Has anyone found them? See attached from the old advertising (thanks to MIDI tech guy UK for his help). V505 Down Under Collection V506 Urban/Pop Industrial? -- Check out my DX7iiFD/D patch 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. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeom984fnWzKAH2dKB4GlDfa4_IwfADOo -- Check out my DX7iiFD/D patch Demos!
