This one, the Korg M1, Roland D50 and Juno 6 have defined 80s music

Hating on the sounds of the DX7 is like hating on the original IBM PC because it only ran DOS. Yes, by modern standards, they are both primitive. But we wouldn't be where we are today without those machines breaking barriers.

Wrong note!!!

First one sounds related to Tupac’s “‘Til the End of Time.” Likely the song he sampled?

Does all this apply to the DX7 MKiiD as well?

Over the years I've only found beginner FM tutorials. Thanks for creating this series it's so wonderful to fully understand and comprehend how my DX7s works

When I click function 8, I don’t see the option to select a midi channel, I see everything else but no option to select a midi channel. What does that mean?

sounds like carp

These are great sounds, and I love the tutorials. No offense intended, but how fo we know if these sounds are all really from a Yamaha DX7? I find the strings part quite difficult to imagine can from a DX7. Sure, it's sawtooth waves, but there's something about the quality of them that doesn't seem like it could come from a DX7. Of course Mr. PowerDX7 owes us nothing, in fact he has given his excellent FM synthesis tutorials for free, which I'm grateful for. However there's some doubt in me about the validity of all the patches, are we being pranked here?!

A really beautiful brass patch, I like the way you play too! In my opinion, this sounds better than any analog synth.

Believe it or not, I made a great sounding, very realistic Jazz Guitar patch using this tutorial. I was following the instructions for using ALG 2 to create saw and square waves. By fiddling with the ENV rate and levels for each operator, I found this lovely tone. Thank you Mr. PowerDX7!

The thing that keeps bringing me back to FM synthesis are: patches that respond like acoustic instruments. They don't always sound completely realistic, but they sound good and you can often get fresh sounding results from it. How much more can we get out of analog? It's all been done IMO. FM is unique in having that feeling that some amazing sounding patch that nobody has ever heard before is just a few adjustments away!

I love the sounds of a DX7! Thanks for this video!

you should make that rush big money full version of the preview you made here

The all mighty, all powerful, aqua net express

Most knob twiddlers hate the DX7 because they can't just turn on the arpeggiator and wiggle the cutoff knob. If you can actually play keyboards and have a chorus pedal sitting around somewhere, you can get some incredible sounds from it. The sounds were so much more expressive than anything else from that era, too. Per-operator velocity, aftertouch, tremolo, and vibrato response was unheard of in the 80s, and every time I hear a good keyboardist playing one I'm still blown away.

If anyone knew that all these sounds can be reproduced in the Yamaha DX 7 this dream synth would cost 10 K $/E or to place it better not so much money would have been spent in analog gear. DX 7 is a dream and of course you as well a top sound designer

at 3:34 it's not actually the original DX7 E.piano. the original sound is much warmer it's really fantastic. I'm sorry but this sound isn't really yours.

Where can I download these Rush patches?

where can i download this patches?

9:00 ほぼほぼOberheimの音。流石6オペFM音源

Um dia.....terei um DX7 ( se DEUS quiser) . SENSACIONAL.

The sounds/voices this keyboard can make are amazing. But none of these new ones can't compare the The King of Keys concert set. With that huge MOOG and the amazing manual patches with physical cables can't be surpassed.

Is anyone have one of this 🎹for sale?

Thank you for these videos. I just got my hands on a DX7 MKI for the first time and I'm loving it. Are you sharing your patches by any chance? I learn best by reverse engineering, taking a known thing and taking it apart, see what makes it work.

Wonderful!

the ALASKA Pad preset EXPOSED all the imposters in BROAD DAYLIGHT 🤣🤣🤣🤣 !! FM8 got it ALLLL wrong !!

The marimba preset was used in the Axel F Theme. The E Piano 1 preset was used in Whitney Houston’s ballads, and also on Chicago’s “Hard Habit To Break”. Say what you want, but the Yamaha DX7 was one of the best selling digital synths, with more than 200,000 units sold. They can be had on the used markets for $500.

Do you have any sysex files for the the final countdown patch? I really want it:)

I would love to purchase these Patches! Do you have a website or link?

Muito bom!

You really need to sell your DX sounds.. I want to load these to my DX synths !

Do you have all these patches for sale?

esses que e o melho teclado o meu esposo conpro um mai nao e igual esse nao esse ten um son mai bonito❤❤ lenbra do meu tenpo

Imagine having one of these and a basic 4 track recorder in the 80’s. You literally have an entire band! Idk if some of the instruments require stereo, then you’d only have 2-3 instruments.

Hola,enhorabuena por tu gran trabajo y dar a conocer a uno de los mejores sintes de la historia,el Yamaha dx7. Mi pregunta es ¿donde puedo encontrar los presets,bancos y sonidos míticos de sintetizador del grupo van halen ,tales como: Jump,1984,Dreams,when is this love,etc. en que ROM original se pueden conseguir? Muchas gracias.

I've just bought one DX7 mk1. Can't wait to reproduce these amazing sounds

4:33 Rush - The Big Money - Wow!!!

Hey there! I’m aiming to utilize your guides to tweak the Tub Bell sound to sound as close as possible to Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas”. Any tips?

I think that Van Halen’s “Jump” was an Oberheim OB-1 actually.

My dream synth

Primitive keys..sorry

I found a simple low cost way to reduce the white noise hiss from the DX7. Inside, VR3 can be adjusted fully counter clockwise from its factory set middle position. This potentiometer adjusts the frequency cut-off point of the final stage Op Amp Output Driver/Filter. It even reduces the noise in the headphones. It takes only a couple of minutes to open up the DX7 and adjust VR3. The white noise dropped about 6 dB (1/4 the noise power level). This is a significant improvement and I didn't notice any roll-off on the high frequencies from any of the voices. I get almost no hum from my DX7, but I think I might add and XLR jack and low noise differential amp in case I ever want to reduce hum from external equipment. I use a very high quality guitar cable between my DX7 and my Amp and that suits me fine.

Nice video. ​ Balanced Output (also called Differental or XLR) is always lower noise than Single Ended. In Balaced (like you said) there are 3 conductors not 2. Gnd (shield/reference), true (un-inverted), and complement (inverted). When noise is injected into the wires, both the true and complement wires get pretty much the same noise injected onto each, but because the true and complement signals are analog subtracted (at the next stage input) from each other: 1V minus -1V = 2V (the desired signal is still present), but the noise, say 0.001V minus 0.001V = 0V (thus the noise is cancelled out). This would reduce 50/60Hz hum in the cables and will reduce "some noise" but most of the hiss (white noise) from the DX7 is from noisy amplifier circuits inside the DX7. There are 7 amplifer/filter stages in the output section and an 8th stage in the headphone section of a DX7 (first model, like we both have). This white noise hiss is a wide gaussian spectrum across our entire hearing range (it is a random mix of all audiable frequencies). Each amplifer/filter in the DX7 adds noise along the way. No amplier is totally noise free, they always have some noise figure. But the relatively inexpensive Op Amps used in the DX7 all add noise. There are very Low Noise Amplifers (LNAs) that would cost about $200 total to replace the 7-8 Op Amp stages in the DX7. I am going to find some that will work in the 0V - 15V analog range required by the DX7. The best way to eliminate this white noise is to remove it at the source inside the DX7, not by masking it using effects. But your solution sounds good for those that dont want to modify their DX7 and are not electrical engineers. Also, the Canadian model has a ground wire on the power plug and that ties to the chassis, I am going to upgrade my DX7 the same way as electrical standards in the USA have improved since the 1980's and if the DX7 was sold today in the USA, it would have that AC ground wire.

Saudades, já toquei em um desses 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

音色は楽しめたが、コードもあちこち間違えているし、なかなか酷い

M1 has them authentic instrument sounds and can modify them enough, my favorite🎉❤

Thanks for the upload. To be honest the DX-7 is not that amazing, but those bands and musicians used in very clever and nice ways, and people listen to those songs over and over again, still do. Btw, not to many talk about DX-1, because as l told you, these bands and music videos on Tv, most of them have DX-7!!!

Where can I get the patches used in the clip??? thanks

To był sprzęt a tera gówno za giwnuaną cenę kiedyś był dźwięk moc i ♥ a tera kopia marna kopia i nic już nie będzie legendą jak to
