You can use dxsyx to upgrade a DX7 dump by adding the additional parameters (for details, see the mk2cfg files in the doc folder): Patches Listen to the results, keep breeding from your best sounds and evolve your own, unique sounds! Dexed Dx7 Patchesįor DX7 mk2 (DX7s/DX7IID/DX7IIFD) users, you might find that DX7 bulk dumps are not very useful because the mk2 stores mod wheel and numerous other parameters in each voice, rather than as global parameters. These voices are completely random blends and might sound great or might sound awful. Where the first two characters of the name indicate the parents of that voice. Mutants.txt might contain something like: Next, how about 'breeding' your own sounds? Create a config.txt file with the 'parents' of the voices you would like to blend together.Įach of the 32 'mutants' you create will be a random blend of 2 random parents in the config.txt file. This creates your custom my.syx file with your selected voices. Now, edit the lines of config.txt to leave only the 32 voices you desire (do not change any text or add any comments). If you want to select voices and create your own syx file: If you want to see YAML-formatted individual settings for each voice: It is a CSV-formatted line for each voice containing first, the 10-character ASCII name (any chars < 32 are changed to '_'), next the voice number and finally the full path to the syx file containing the voice. The output from this command is the basis for all the config.txt files used as input. If you want to get a list of all voices in a syx file or files:

Plus, I was looking for a C++ project to check out C++11 coding. See I wanted an easier way to create my own syx files after finding it difficult to keep track of the voices I found in the. I created this after using the Dexed VST in Reaper.
