More off topic mumblings but I've also just done a midi out mod of the volca Fm. Yamaha seem a bit more unpredictable here. I think if it was Korg they would have done it already. An iOS synth which could interact with DX/TX and share presets would be great one day.

There also a great lemur patch which can tweak tx81z presets. Been looking for the best way to edit them and found so far that TX programmer is best for the tx81z and Dexed for the TX802 is my current pick. Seriously - I have those original banks myself - and I still use it from time to time to feed my TX-7 desktop module - which is a keeper.īut that's defacto lightyears behind what TF-7 offers right out of the box.Ī bit OT but have been playing recently with TX802 and TX81z and they both sound amazing. TF-7's presets offer 10 times the usability of the classic DX-7 collection. Those presets sound as FM as FM can be, BUT they are easily tweakable, have a useful fx-section and an interactive parameter control (x/y pad) Those pretended 'possibilities' are simply rumors.Ĭosts about 6 bucks with the 'Essential' extension - without those it's pointless.Ĭomes with excellent presets, sorted by category, well named (not Obie-Brass24, 25, 26.) about 200 patches remain.įortunately some librarian programs have the ability to scan sysex banks and remove duplicates, but you're likely to still spend hour after hour collecting 'good ones' to your own banks.īut I almost NEVER found a patch that couldn't be improved by tweaking, often even turned in something completely different.Īfter all it's a big stack of hay and you're looking for the needle Very few are 'cool' from today's point of view - the better ones were precisely tweeked to the hardware's sound engine - FM may react really sensitive to some parameters.Įffectively this leaves 1k patches out of a 10k collection if 'near duplicates' are removed.Įxpect 5% as 'interesting'. Those patches were driven by compromise and for each one there exist (at least) 10 almost identical copies. Most of them fake natural instruments or analog synths, as sampling wasn't yet affordable. Regarding those millions of patches for the DX-7 (as the base of the family):

The sound is full and clean with just a tiny bit of grain to make it beefy, a fascinating unit I've sold mine, because it was too time consuming Great demo - but the thing is a beast to setup, let alone program or matching patches into performances, spice the parts with individual effects on single out. How is it working out for people? In what way is it better than say I am intrigued by the Volca, but am put off because I've heard it doesn't accept velocity from an outside keyboard. With the app to program it, it would be a totally new product, certainly more useful than a PLG-DX card. What would you be willing to pay?Īnd I don't think it would be too hard to use the app to create desire for a hardware DX7 reissue. It's all about finding the right price for the app and in-app purchases. IMHO a DX7 iPad app would be one of the most successful iOS music apps ever sold.

So why not make some money off of the technology they created that rather than give it all away?

Perhaps Yamaha is getting a piece of the action of some of these, but I doubt it.

So the people who want these sounds are either going on eBay or to Korg (Volca), Native Instruments (FM8), Propellerhead (PX7), or to the free AU/VST Dexed. Otherwise you don't get access to the countless DX patches. The PLG-DX card for the Motif is an add-on, not a synth.įor me it's 6 sine wave operators and 32 algorithms or nothing. I don't count the 4 operator Reface, which I don't.

A lot of other people are selling DX7s in hardware and software form. But the app was a wonderful free gift that had a version of AN1x with 128 presets and 64 user slots.īut Yamaha isn't selling AN1x's and they aren't selling DX7s either. There's tons of info in there about their hardware synths, but unless I've missed something, there's nothing about the apps they create for iOS. Yamaha Synthbook showed that Yamaha wanted to use iOS to promote the legacy of their old hardware and promote the sales of their current hardware. Why should they make it work with stuff that people already have? Perhaps it's only a tool to make people want to buy some new gear. Unless something changes-and I hope it does-FM Essential may have solely been designed to provide iOS control to hardware, as Artiphon does.
