Many of them are even unusable because with errors or absent checksums or bad CRC, etc. and many of them are even present because of conversions with different applications so with slight different results in the headers or the footers or their checksums. Close to four thousands of the files in that 200K collection are in fact duplicate sysex files in many sub-collections. it appears that finally it contains less than 2,000 really different sysex files. There is even a compilation which gathers not less than 200,000 patches in 5,917 sysex files! But when comes the time to clean that huge collection. due to an incredible amount of duplicate files that they contain. But all the compilations I have found are absolutely insane. There is already a crowd of compilations of sysex files for the Yamaha DX7 and its famous family. You can get many informations about the features of these synths (and their respective differences) here: More info from Jacques about the collection (available in the read me file):ĭexed_cart version 1.0 by BlackWinny, 4 (YYYY/MM/DD)Īll these sysex files are (or should be) compatible with Dexed, FM8, and any emulation (software or hardware) of a synth of the 6-OP family of the Yamaha stuff which was produced featuring the FM synthesis with 6 operators. These should work in the amazing free FM synth Dexed, and several other 6-OP FM synths.
IMPORTING DX7 PATCHES INTO FM8 PATCH
Jacques Prestreau (aka BlackWinny) has taken the time to gather all the freely available 6-OP FM patches on the web and consolidate them into one amazing patch collection.
