Thank you for your advice oldgearguy I will look into the iPAD and Lemur option. I recently bought a TX802 I'm pretty excited about, but I'm having a hard time finding the enthusiasm for front panel editing. What are the best options <$50-100 to edit TX802 patches from a Mac or iPad? They didn't implement parameter modifications using CC or NRPNs back in the day, and sometimes not all front panel controls/edits are possible over MIDI. Note that the TX-802 (and probably a lot of other older gear) is only edited by sending MIDI sysex strings. MIDIQuest is the most mature PC/Mac based editor. It allows you to edit and save single patches and multi configurations. If you have an iPad and Lemur, I created a template for the TX-802. I've had my TX802 for a while but never really got going with it, mainly due to a lack of editor (I looked at midi quest but it was too expensive for me)Ĭould anyone help me with some advice on a editor for it and a MAC?Īlso I was looking for some patches, in particular some multi drums. Press YES, and if you are sure, press YES again." Use the ten-key pad and INT/CRT to select the destination (INT 1-2 or CRT 1-63) and press ENTER. To store the Micro Tune scale you have edited, press STORE. The resulting pitch is shown as a note number +42/-43 and also as an absolute number 0 - 10794. Select Coarse/Fine using ENTER + the cursor keys. You can move in steps of a semi-tone (Coarse) or steps of 1.1719 cents (Fine). Use the +1/-1 keys to raise or lower the pitch for each note. You can specify the pitch that will be produced for each not (C-2 to G8). Would also be open to some of the patch banks you guys had mentioned. If I changed the master tune to 431.9hz, would the micro tune be that much closer, or would it still start from 440hz? I'm assuming it will be at 431.9hz, but I could be wrong. The closest I can get it to is 431.9hz in the master tune. I got a TX-802 recently and I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge on micro tuning it in HZ? I'd like to get all the notes to 432hz if possible, as the master tune won't allow me to get to it perfectly. It is interesting but probably more useful for someone who has already gone through the Complete DX7 book. The Bristow/Chowning book approaches FM programming from a very theoretical/analytical approach. It is very practical, starting with generating basic waveforms like saws, squares and noise and outlines most of the common techniques and basic patch setups. It covers getting sounds from the perspective of someone familiar with subtractive synthesis. The Complete Dx7 book is the best book for learning to program FM. Apparently the guy who programmed these patches also wrote a book on the Dx7 but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I think you can get them from one of the DX yahoo groups. There are some old commercial patch banks by Avic that include some really good japanese percussion stuff. There is a patch in the library called "poly800" which I use quite a lot. It has a huge library built in but unfortunately the editor doesn't work for the performance settings. Jsynthlib has great editors for the DX series synths. I don't mind editing from the Dx7 front panel (you can use the dx7 to edit the Tx816).
