Alan, This is awesome!!! When you get a chance could you write a post for the group detailing a bit more on this controller. So far only you and the moderators...
Thank you for your encouraging message. I'm mostly through with the TwoPot. I want to add a feature that combines the coarse and fine frequencies into a...
Have you looked at DX Manager from FM-Alive.com? It costs $15.00 US but appears to be worth it. I use Midiquest and Unisyn and they work well with my DX7IIFD....
thanks...:) i.ve tried the dxmanager but it not work well...it's litle bit slow... you know maybe how can i find what sysex or cc comand is responsible for...
Hey Res, The midi CC's are the standard, mod wheel (1); breath control (2); foot control (4); portamento time (5); volume (7); sustain (64); portamento on/off...
Hi guys, I'd like to buy a DS-55; is that sound-wise equal to a TX81Z? I really liked the mp3 of the TX81Z sounds I heard, but I also would like a cheap synth...
Hey all, I am looking for some FB-01 patches. I d/led the zip file but have nothing that can send .MDX files. If you have some tips on using or converting...
Hi LP, These .MDX files are the same as .SYX files. You can send them from your PC using Midi-Ox and a midi interface. If you want them to be .syx files just...
Hi folks, I've been using a TX81z for many years and when I moved to the US from Australia I brought my trusty black box with me. Of course, with the voltage...
Ok, I've grabbed out service manual. US version not earthed Aus is earthed. Serial Numbers #25631 and up have the transformer "fault" and need to have the...
Cheers mate - useful info. I'm now living in the US (for my sins ;-) but thanks for the offer for the scope - luckily I have one. I'll open it up and see where...
When the internal power supply of my Proteus One stopped working, I bought a second-hand 'black brick' power supply that originally shipped with a modem. This...
I believe that you can send these files directly to the FB01 using MIDIox sysex file output. If you have a hex editor, check if the first byte is 0xf0 and the...
Thank you Alan - this is probably the way to go I think. I have a scope (I'm an EE) and I'll check out some existing black bricks. I'm wondering if a switch...
Hi Mark, The VM line from the power supply drives the 3 transistor delay circuit to control the 2 audio muting transistors. This is just the unregulated line...
Hi, I've got a Yamaha TX-816 (actually it's a fully populated TX-216) and the audio outputs had terrible high pitched noise in them. All the batteries were...
Hello, I've been successful at doing minor repairs on synthesizers and tone modules. May I ask, how much were you charged for replacing the batteries and...
Hi Alan, ... and filter capacitors in the TX-816? I think it ran to about $350 all up. That's Australian dollars which not so long ago were worth over 90 US...
Hi there, I've recently become the proud owner of a TX81Z and have been wondering about hardware controllers for it. Did you find out if the CME bitstream 3x...
Hi Alex, The bitstream can control the TX in real time, according to the spec sheet for the bitstream. I haven't got one yet because they're a bit pricey for...
My auctions this week on eBay: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZcristofe The Yamaha TX81Z and TX7 work particularly well with my guitar controllers....a Shadow...
i got a tx-802 and the previous owner had many programs receive on midi ch 11. i tired to change them back to ch 1 but when i went back to that patch, it...
Hi John, When you change the midi channel for the performance you have to save the change or it will revert back when you change to another performance. You...
Hi there, I've acquired my second TX81z - a nice recent unit in fact - surprisingly with a soldered ROM - V1.5. Anyhow this creates the opportunity to tinker...
Hi Mark, I haven't played with the LP output filter on the FM synths but I would like to see what it could do. The schematic and service manual are here in the...
