1790.0. "Yamaha DX7II Problems - Help" by GVA05::BERGMANS () Fri Dec 02 1988 04:07

    I have a DX7II D since a few weeks and I am very happy with it.
    I think however that I might have a problem.
    
    Two of the preset sounds that come from the cartridge delivered with
    the keyboard have a strange behaviour; only a few notes per ocatve
    work.
    
    The sounds are;  SilvaBrass and  SilvaTrmpt.
    
    Is this a peculiarity of the instrumnents simulated, or is there
    something wrong.
    
    All the other 128 sounds from the two banks work perfectly.

    WAG- I bet there's a reason, judging from the similar names. Couldn't
    even fathom a guess as to why.
    
    Doesn't the DX7II-nn have a parameter that lets you assign various
    levels to groups of keys across the keyboard? Can you find it?
    Can you tweak it?

    Standard Yamahisms I've noticed are that if it doesn't work, check
    the breath controller setting. Dollars to doughnuts those two want
    some outboard controller to control amplitude.

1790.3Yeah, that's it...WEFXEM::COTESing with the clams, knave!Fri Dec 02 1988 08:343
    ...fractional scaling is the parameter I was alluding to.

1790.4Definitely the patch.DYO780::SCHAFERBrad - back in Ohio.Fri Dec 02 1988 09:334
    And if it's got the E! board in it, who *knows* what's happening? Find
    a PIANO or ORGAN patch.  If they play alright, it ain't hardware.

1790.5Out of Breath Huh?WARDER::KENTThu Dec 15 1988 08:1616
    
    
    I'me almost certain that we have heard this problem before. Wasn't
    it the blind lady who was seekning help with her tactile set up.
    
    And yes I think it did relate to Breath Controllers. It's back there
    somewhere.
    
    BTW if you need DX7 voices we have thousands.
    
    Brad I have some more to send you when I get the time.

    Bring 'em on, PK.

    For what it's worth, I have some *very* nice FM versions of the current
    hot L/A sounds ... duplicated down to the name.  8-) 

    Don't work so hot on the old DX architecture, but U should hear 'em on
    the TX802 ... 

    I'll be posting them, too ... someday ..........
