DX7 - Dexed 25th Anniversary_KUJASHI Soundbanks

[Kujaschi]

Hello Mr Sounddigger,

mmh - at first, the "SynthX"-example sound by the "DEXED",
was played in the MKI-mode.....
So, I´m using the 0.8 version, not the actually update.....
That seems to be the reason for some "sound-differences".....
and this is the reason too, I´m looking for a DX7 on ebay -
again after so many years....
for sure, it´s a little bit of nostalgia and the truth,
it´s software-successors can indeed reproduce most of that DX7 sound,
but not at 100%.

And do you remember the DX7 effect patch "Water Garden"?
So hit any keys and hold this sound with the use of a sustain-pedal.....
I can remember this sweet and interesting collage of digital "waterdrops"
and NONE of the software successors can reproduce this patch in the same way.

And just another thing:
I have an "accident" patch, somewhere in my collection - just "ghostnoises".
So, no "real" sound, but cos of the "bad" converters in the DX,
it produces some noise and so in a special adjustment,
the FM OP´s produces some crazy frequencies, that whooshes up and down,
glimmering, shimmering.
You only have to raise up the output volume to maximum, to hear that.
It was crazy - so if I had sampled the output, put a delay after that sound
and you´ve got an amazing, selftextured "sci-fi" sound.
Unfortunately -when I load this "patch" into the FM7 or Dexed, you will hear:
Nothing!
That´s a pure DX phenomenon..... just another reason for the original....

Ok, the engine in the 6-operator machines must be the same (DX7, TX802, TX816
and so on), but I´ve read somewhere about little differences.
So it´s the ouput - ok.

It seems, some sounds have a better touch of the original, played with the
FM7/FM8 and some other sounds good, played by the Dexed (depend on the
used version and MKI or Modern-mode).
It seems impossible to test all the sounds in my collection with
these software synths - cos it lacks the presence of the original.
I can´t compare with the real thing.

So the best for me, because of my own interest in these sounds again
and for future-programming, is to buy the synth once more.
Yes, I´ve seen some DX7 for ~250 Euro and some for ~500 Euro.
But only kept my eyes on Ebay-germany. I have to wait, to look and grab the moment.

Thanks for the bank - there are some good gems in it.
I have to fiddle a bit on this patch, but I`ll do my very best.

All in all - this thread and positive reactions showed me:
FM isn´t dead and there is far more interest, as I´ve ever thought.
I knows, my collection is there, but didn´t touch any of these sounds for years.
Now, they came back to light ....

Somewhere on KVR, there is a new thread about a "Arturia DX7", ok
Just a member wrote, it isn´t worth it, cos there aren´t too much good DX7
sounds out there.
This isn´t true: It´s just a own universe - you only have to explore....
Millions of new sounds are waiting - never heard before....
But most people in the past or nowadays never touched this synthesis/synth
right or got deeper - like it was alien technology - but it isn´t.. 
It´s an amazing world of sound....
