I will say—my personal experience, in dissecting DX7 presets, is that feedback is not really used that much. If you are porting DX7 sounds to a different architecture, you can remove the feedback and replace it with something like a noise source, or another operator, much of the time, or even remove it altogether.
This is just my personal experience. I often dig through DX7 patches in order to reimplement them for demoscene projects.
Sounds like you’re getting good use out of the TX81Z. I have the TX802, which is on paper a better synth, but controlling it from a DAW is much more of a pain because the program change messages control the “performance”, rather than the patch. So it’s been exiled from my rack, at least for now.
- weatherlight 5y agoif you try to control the parameters on the TX81z while its receiving midi info, it starts to "skip" and the notes start to lag, lol. I wish i had a TX802 or a fs1r yamaha. Those are so nice!
- ajxs 5y agoI have the same problem with the TX802. I do my best to avoid the 'performance mode' features entirely. Slightly related: I really love the build quality of Yamah's 80s/90s rack synths. The physical interfaces were very well-designed, and look amazing.
- jacquesm 5y agoAgreed, and what's more: back then it wasn't all that apparent, the fact that they're still playing almost 40 years later is what proves it, most other gear - even very high end - from that era is long gone.
