Re: The 4OP to DX7 Conversion Project

Certainly true. I am one of those fair-weather-FM users that had a TX81z and it never went anywhere.? The presets were middling and nowhere could I find super sounds at the time, so I ditched the thing because my exciting life just didn¡¯t have time to stare at a 2 line display. As I recall, I had gotten it because the TX-7 wasn¡¯t rack mount and the TX816¡ well, who could afford THAT?? Nothing in between. While I¡¯m not up on every piece of hardware any longer, I¡¯m still quite the fanboy of FM and would very much love to see someone take it to the next level.? Multi wave forms.? 8 (or more) operators.? Adaptable, even dynamically assignable algorithms. ?Real time parameter changes. ?Not especially tough in software with today¡¯s hardware, but I doubt we¡¯ll ever see a Grand Old Keyboard made from it. ? L. ? ? but I could make an argument that if the FM community as a whole had spent as much time programming the TX801z as the DX7, there might have been a lot more surprises to enjoy.? I performed for over three years with *nothing* but four -- yes, four -- TX81z modules in my rack., connected to a Roland MKB-300 ? Regards,
