Looking for a lost obscure DX7/TX816 patch. It's called 'MUTEGTR' (named?exactly like that) and it was used heavily in a show I grew up watching. I've seen a patch list printout from the composer's TX816 which confirms the patch name, but I've been unable to locate it. It needed to exist before 1992 at the absolute latest. The rest of the banks are a hodgepodge of patches, some also seemingly lost, some very common in the banks floating around today. My theory is the patch came from a bank on Usenet or similar service that, for one reason or another, missed the archiving trawl. I've manually looked through the original DX People archive and just about every single bank I can source on the web, as well as searched the limited patches.fm database, and nothing.?

It's definitely not 'MUT-GUITER', 'MUTEGUIT', 'Guit.Mute', or Patchman's 'Mute Gtr.' I've attached some sound examples of the patch, it's a constant rhythmic element. I'm hoping someone here recognizes it or has a copy? This is a really unique sound and finding the original is my only hope.

Thanks!

Hey folks. I'm in the process of going DAWless, but one sad drawback of this is that I can no longer send patch banks from the computer to my tx802. (One of the ONLY drawbacks tbh - otherwise I'm loving the lack of instantly available distractions). My Yamaha mo8 keyboard - a scaled back motif es essentially - does have an internal sequencer, however, and I'm wondering if it would be possible to send patch banks from it to the tx802 embedded in a .mid file somehow? I've tried it a couple different ways and haven't been able to get it to work. To the best of my knowledge I've made all the correct settings on the tx802, the mo8 manual is here for reference:



I'll probably post this on the motif forum for advice as well, if there's still such a thing nowadays.

Curtis.

I feel like this is a stupid question, but why is book four missing? I’m going to dig into my library to see if I have it somewhere in my manuals for the DX7II-FD.

Thanks to all for their hard work and dedication! It's amazing how detailed Yamaha's work was.

I have an unusual question, does anyone know of a service that will bind one or more PDFs into a book? I understand that the formatting would probably be a mess, but I would like a paper version of the complete set at some point. Or however many have been found at the time I move forward. This is just for myself, for posterity.

Hi all

I'm also still looking for these PDF's from the DX Supplemental Booklets set, I don't suppose they've turned up? I can't seem to locate them online either.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant bound, either hard cover or soft. A ton of people are doing self publishing so there must be someplace. Hoping to find someone that had done it before is all.

Hi Daniel, nice to see you here and THANK YOU for all your hard work preserving these resources.

I didn't scan it myself -- I am pretty sure it showed up quite recently (last 6 months), either on the Yamaha forum or on one of the Facebook groups. If I can figure out where I got it, I'll let you know.

Thanks for upload, and for NR. 9 which was still missing. I’m the author of the project of scanning all this (also Aftertouch magazines and more), which I could finish with the help of colleague Rawl Gelinas from Yamaha DX yahoo group, and some contributors who sold or sent original material.

It would be nice to add credits.

Have you scanned Nr. 9?

So now only two booklets for DX7S are missing…

I can't see the last couple of replies on the website, which is how I prefer to reply.? It remains to be seen if/when this reply reaches anyone.

Perhaps the website is buggy, or this group is strictly moderated, with no one at the helm?

I'm not an admin of the group, but it seems anyone can upload files, so I've made a folder of the booklets I have, including the new 9th one (thanks, Jeremy).? They should now be here:

/g/YamahaDX/files/DX7II%20Supplemental%20Booklets

I think I started indexing a couple of them, by adding bookmarks.? I use Foxit Reader 3.something, but the bookmarks seem to be compatible with other PDF readers.

Not sure why the email didn't arrive (maybe the group doesn't accept attachments?).

Anyway, my pleasure. I can't remember if I got it on a Facebook group or on the Yamaha forum. In any case, 1 down, 2 to go. It would be fantastic to get issues #2 and #4 at some point, I'm sure they're out there somewhere.
