DX7 patches for FM8

[GeckoYamori]

It's just really annoying with how inconsistent the file and bank browser seems to work. Mostly converted presets only appear in the file browser, and once in a blue moon they'll appear as a bank in the instruments section. I'd prefer if I could get all of them into the instrument panel. I just want to do things like search for brass and make it list all the patches with brass in the name. File browser won't let me do that.

Ask a friend with NI Kore to fix them for you

Actually I have imported something like 10,000 DX7 patches into Kore via FM8 from the original DX sysex patches, and roughly categorised them all (by roughly I mean mostly based on either clues from the original bank name or keywords like "Bass", didn't have time to go through every single one) - they are in ksd format but should be importable into FM8 and have bank names because I gave them some.

Hello.

I collected several DX7 patches (8000+) from the usual DX7 sites on the net and converted them to FM8 format. The file set is here if you need them.

Cheers.

Do you have a pack of all the DX7 .sysex files still, for use in Dexed?

[Chris-S]

Remember, you can enhance many DX7 patches a lot in FM8 using it's possibilities.

There's really only 3 FM patches.

There are many duplicates and many unusable sounds among thoses DX7 patches, I agree.

+1 for that stash of DX syx

There's really only 3 FM patches. That bass one, the bells and the Doogie Howser piano. Seems like you probably have a lot of duplicates.

Well, if it was good enough for an entire decade of pop music, it's good enough for me . Arguably, the most famous presets of all time. I never tire of these and they still go in the majority of my tracks (which are pretty much period pieces)

The issue is that unless you have specified a bank name in the metadata for FM8, it will not show up in a bank on the preset browser and you have to do an old fashioned windows-explorer type submenu search in the left window.

There is no batch editor for this now Kore has gone, so the only way to organise banks is to do this yourself, one patch at a time. I spent a little time lastnight reorganising my banks into the FM8 system, having found them again on rekkerd!

I will reupload my newly formatted banks (2x128 sounds) to rekkerd next week.

Aah OK, I do already have all from those links, I thought perhaps there was an unknown mega pack. Thanks all the same

[Whoomph]

Thanks for the share.

I have the big FM7/8 patch collection with just about everything in a zip... Send me a PM and I'll send em' to you!

[danbroad]

Hi DHR53

I'd be interested in the patches, trying to see if any more of mine are out there and looking for Bearnaomh's cosmodelia bank. PM'd!

[BlackWinny]

200.000 patches (yes!!!) here in sysex format:

11.4 Mb!

I've just downloaded the zip file, but not yet tried it.

200.000 patches! Phew... in my opinion it will be hard to find more...

Yeah, I think those set DX7 apart from the rest at the time. It's (fm) capable of much more.
