How accurate is DEXED, compared to a real DX7?

To me the SY sounds way too bright. The TX has a moody lofi character that makes it way more present and vibrant. Thanks for the comparison :)

The primary usage was to run it together with the DX7 to make the sound fatter with detune, or use the midi overflow for 32 note polyphony. t's a "Poor man's" DX1 or 1/4'th TX816

How do I contact you?

Hi Brilliant video thanks. Ive just purchased a D50 with a flat internal battery for a bargain price, so I'll definitely be trying this. I have two questions - is the internal Eprom memory in the D50 big enough to hold all the .syx files from the cards?, or do you have to load a card 'as and when' you want to use a particular card, I'm guessing not - as is the memory overwritten each time you load a new card? Also, can you recommend/link a USB to MIDI interface cable that works with the D50 & this software (I know alot of the cheap ones dont work) Thank you in advance

No matter how much it was used in the 80s, you have to love the DX7 for its famous factory presets, especially no.15 and no.16! ✌🏻+ ❤

You synth-guys are more pathetic than my grandparents. You are expected to be busy with high-end-high-tech-machines... and instead clinching on stuff of the stone-age. Crazy😂 P. S. : you look like you weren't even born, when the DX came out. I was active those times...and would never ever use this FM ("modicied beeping"). Not the "usual" old man😉

This is what I’ve wanted to see! 🎉 Even with the two doubling the same sounds, what a difference in fatness! I have both and find that to be much richer than doing the same thing on the TX802.

Beautiful! I remember it well.

You seem to like "Pyramid" quite a lot! 😄

I have been a fan of the DX series of synths ,having got a DX 7 mk 1 when they were released way back in the early 80`s , the TX 816 i managed to get along with the MV 802 mixer , many years later ,they were a fortune when released but since then managed to aquire them :} i have upgraded the display on the DX 7 as well as the rom chip for the extra MIDI functions. i have the original cassette which came with the TX 7 ,think you can get it on sysex try Yamaha musicians TX page .

Back in the 80s I had a friend who had a TX7 that he ran with his guitar and midi. I had a DX21 at the time and really enjoyed the TX7 and really wanted one...but certainly could not afford one...but I did find quite a bargain on an FB-01 which I still have...I also now have a DX7IIFD which I purchased in the 90s. Used, of course, but still works great never thought of using the FB-01 as an expansion though...that detune is amazing!

Great keyboard! I had one.

Nice video! I had no idea that the data slider is outputting data via midi. Please please let it be CC. 😁 (I’ve had my DX7 as my master keyboard in the studio for about 25 years now and to be able to use that slider in the daw (Bitwig) would be really nice.) By the way, does “expander” really means that it’s an addition? My Crumar Bit 01 has “Rack expander” on the front, and it’s just the rack version of the Bit 99.

Skåning?

I have my tx7 midi'd to my CZ-1, makes a rich combination..

So what was it _built for?_ Doubling the voice with minimal detune to create pseudo stereo? That could be done with any chorus pedal. I don't get what this was meant to do. I also don't hear much of a difference between single and combined mode.

There’s a nice software synth on iOS called KQDixie which loads sysex files like Dexed does. KQD has features to load patches in layers or unison. I think the unison mode has a detune setting, but I just stumbled upon the non-single-patch mode yesterday 😁

Did you know there's a specific set of layer patches they made for the dx/tx combo? I adapted it for the mark II but search around and you'll find it.

Nice thing about the TX7 it responds as well as a DX7 to SysEx, and it’s not complicated (at least not for an FM synth). It’s pretty easy to make an editor for it. I did it with an Electra One, and you can fit that Electra One on top of a TX7 as well. They make a nice pair. Because the sysex works bidirectional, the Electra One shows you how the TX7 sound is constructed. A very good way to learn how to make sounds in FM. May I’ll need a second TX7 !

get the DX5 patches -- (they combine for example horn A horn B strings A strings B etc they are factory made to be used together - so with 2 dx7,s or a dx7/tx7 - load A on one and B on another and you have a DX5 combination -- i do this with my dx7 11fd in performance mode = 2 patches together stereo -- closest u will get to a dx5 without owning one ..

What is the patch called at 3:07?

2 Korg FM2 volca paired up? I wonder if I could get a similar result on the cheap?

So together you can sound like a dx5?

❤

Now imagine what the TX816 (8 DX7like modules in a rack) would sound like. 😉Yamaha came up with sounds that spread over all of the modules, with each only producing a certain part of the combined sound. Much better than just layering the same sound. The famous FMepiano sounds massive on that one. Just a little bit of varied panorama and a bit of detuning and no chorus is needed. Just reverb maybe. Another synth that will never leave my studio.

TX7 has 32 memories for its Function parameters, plus another 32 which can be used for DX7 (which has only one such setting for all 32 patches). Both MIDI cables have to be connected to use this as TX7 sends SysEx data to DX7. Another great feature is range setting when TX7 plays only in limited range - up, down on the keyboard, or when the lowest point is set higher than the highest, there's a silenced range between them. Also possibility of program TX7 directly from DX7 should be mentioned.

Nice find! The DX7 almost looks new! I’m not jealous, not jealous, not even a little bit… :-)

I Used the DX7 and the TX7 for Bass Sounds with a Little Modulation ~~ for Solo ~ DX7II FD

I mean the TX7 is called an FM *expander* right?! But to be fair if you can't afford a DX or find one is good condition, the TX is very competent as a stand-alone synth too, especially given its age! I don't own either and likely never will, but do have a TX81z, as well as a Digitone and Opsix. Plus there is the Arturia DX7 plugin which is great and I'm just now experimenting with Tracktion F'em. Many paths to FM these days, it's really having a revival!

I have a question. If i need to change the battery of my D 50, do I lose the sounds that were added on my keyboard through a card?

I have the same upgrade my demos don’t play anymore? Do your demos play? I’m thinking maybe they got erased or either it doesn’t work with the upgrade?

Very boring meat and potatoes synth for the bedroom synth geek, but most useful for the gigging musician. With the DP4 this could be a studio-monster :) The Kurzveill K1000 and Peavey DPM3 / 4 were her cousins

SY77 is a DX7 on steroids.

I had one of these about 25 years ago. I can't even remember what I did with it 🤣 I don't recall selling it I think I gave it to a friend. Was good synth back in the day.

Okay so when I go to internal, all I get is a bunch of Brass1. Its in every setting 1-4. I did the factory reset like you said, but it still says Brass1 on all the internal setings. Cart A and Cart B have different sounds. Do I need the 3.2 upgrade to get sounds in my internal banks?

Omg thank you for this opportunity to listen all sounds 😮 🙏 this synth it’s amazing. Thank you

Amazing!

Do you have any sound cartridges?

13:22 x-files?

Thanks for giving the ESQ1 some love (I love mine). I've got the 3.50 ROM and I'd be interested to hear the extra waveforms accessible with the 3.53 ROM.

How do you update, mine said 2.0 how do I get the 3.53?

Thanks lot for sharing this video. Very resourceful!

Very good. Thank you teacher for sharing the factory sounds of the synthesizer, Ensoniq esq1. Very good video, we will wait for more interesting videos about the beauty of synthesizers.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yay, new video!!! ❤❤❤

Do you know if its possible to use the swing and offset features at the same time?

Looking forward to it, just getting back into mine after replacing the battery.

Thank you teacher, we would like you to show us the factory sounds that the Ensoniq ESQ-1 comes with. If you could share to hear what that synthesizer sounds like, I would be happiest in the world, please.

Thank you so much for this video! 🙏
