I have KQ Dixie on this iPad Pro that I'm presently on. The sysex files generated by this website opened up directly into it, and it worked brilliantly. This is so cool. There's a lot of duds, but it also generates some very usable patches.
I actually have a DX7 sitting on my desk at work, although I only use it as a MIDI keyboard because I love the keybed. Dexed or Arturia is so much easier to program, and 100% the same audio, so I have no reason to mess around programming the real thing. When I did play it directly, I programmed it in Dexed anyway.
- nobleach 6y agoI've owned multiple DX-7s (only first gen... I've always wanted to buy a DX-7IIfd). While I liked the feel of the keys, I couldn't get passed the MIDI implementation not sending the full 0-127 velocity. (Yamaha implemented a 0 to 100 range because the MIDI spec wasn't complete at the time of production). When I'm actually using it as just a keyboard to play, it doesn't seem to matter... it's only when I'm using a different sound source.
- jacquesm 6y agoYou can patch that if you want, the ROM image is available and there are reasonably accurate disassemblies, enough to figure out where that bit of code lives so you can scale it. You won't be able to fix it at the source (the DX7 contains two processors, the other one is mask programmable), but you can simply scale the 0...100 values to become 0...127.
- teilo 6y agoI fixed this with MidiFire on Mac. I created a map that scales 0-100 to 0-127. I also added a control to shift octaves. The only real annoying thing is the fact that it doesn't send aftertouch unless the current patch has it enabled.
