DX7 - Dexed 25th Anniversary_KUJASHI Soundbanks

[Kujaschi]

Thank you, Mr Sounddigger,
for those many words and positive feedback to this soundbanks.... 

Mmh I was a child of the C-64 at these times and I´ve used it, as I left my
music-band and tried to make music at home.

I had a "Drummer" program (can´t remember the name), and very rudimentary
musicial software too.
So I´ve got a midi-interface from C-Lab and a very simple Sequencer-software.
There were no software for the DX7 (C64) in those times AFAIK, so I had to go this
(for sure) very inconvenient and long-winded way.
Sometimes my right hand hurts so often by this procedure - to wrote down this endless numbers of parameters....
Too look onto this little grey display and to concentrate, not to write down some
false numbers.... 

To DEXED:
I have the 0.91 version and couldn´t find a MK I option?, but some members of
KVR wrote in that thread, there are some differences in sound too.
And you heard that for yourself by the sound "DTaenzerin". Yah, it may come
close, but not too close.

I think, the DEXED can reproduce all that known DX7 sounds like those factory
sounds, but some special things (like the Atmo5) sound, you have to change
some parameters. But I wouldn´t go too deep into the DEXED programming
again - I only want to post those old DX7 patchbanks, just they sound as they are.
IMO the FM7/FM8 is THE successor and most sounds DEXED (with the newest
version) can be reproduced to 90%. So this is ok......
And btw it´s not forbidden to modify this patches or to get some new sounds
out of it. So I think, these sounds can be a good basis for something new -
or somebody use them as they are.
These patches sounds completely different in HEXTER - for example.....

And this is so true, what you´ve said: DX7 patches sounds very timeless.
For me this is nostalgia too - As I´ve played through my collection, old
memories and pictures of the past passed by.....

You are playing the TX802 and the TX816 (DX7 x eight times).....
ok so you need an editor, but you have That sound original nowadays....
I´ve never created any patches in the FM7 until nowadays. Only used the
factory banks or my own collection.
This is because, I was unable to appreciate the FM7 for programming
- it was/is not the same. Funny, the FM7 is so easy to program,
but I would rather buy a DX7 again for sound-patching.

Yes, there are zillion of soundbanks for the DX-series out there. I´ve tried
the most (that comes with DEXED (the BlackWinny´s), and some years
before (loaded into my FM7). But in most times, I was dissapointed.
These are mostly reproductions of the factory banks, so many doubled
and threefold sounds and many patches seems likely made as with a
"random" function.
So there are only a few good designers, who made some interesting banks
and who has gone deeper into that synthesis.....

The DX1 and DX5 was big and truly masters of the DX-series.
So the DX5 has two FM-engines under the hood and the DX1 looks like
the master of the universe - that really huge chassis and sound - but
very expensive too.

And this is the point:
The nostalgia with those sounds too - but I can remember
the many hours of programming/playing and being lost in
the synthesis - It´s the same, some musicians are telling about the
fundamental difference between soft- and hardware.....
Just the smell of the DX7 - after some time, a special smell was in the air.
Something software lacks, cos it can´t. Not only the lack of sliders or
knobs - the haptic feeling (ok, the DX7 has only this one Data-Entry-slider),
but something for your nose, you´ll never forget.
But this don´t belong here.... just a private memory.

So, I don´t know, if a DX7 sound may sounds different in a DX5/DX1.
Or in the TX816? It´s the same engine....
Ok, some differences someone may hear in my sounddemo, if he
compares that with the patches, loaded in his instrument....

But I think, everyone should take these patches for his own needs and
make music....  :drum
