BRW Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I know I might get a better response from a Yamaha forum, but I thought I'd try here first. I tried googling but the results were a mixed bag. Q: Does anyone know of a convenient software that converts DX7 (and related FM synth) sysex for the SY77/TG77? As you know, there are literally thousands of sounds for the DX floating around and not that much for the SY line. Preferably (modern) Mac and...free.

As you know, there are literally thousands of sounds for the DX floating around and not that much for the SY line. Preferably (modern) Mac and...free. Cheapo app for PC ... FM Alive Free ... DXconvert 2.1.1 did it together w/ Python 2.7.3 and the d2s.py file in a command line process on PC. If you had an ATARI ST and Steinberg Synthworks SY/TG77 and/or C-Lab Xalyzer, you´d be a lucky guy. On MAC I only know Sounddiver v3.0.5.2 (latest update) for Mac OS9. In fact, I stock ATARI and Mac G3/Powerbook G3 for such tasks because it works best w/ these old apps and machines. I´m not sure if the x-factory stuff does conversions from DX7, DXmkII to SY77 & 99 as well as TG77 models. Because these are librarians that doesn´t mean they convert reliable or at all. I tried to find infos but found nothing about conversions. A.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I thought the SY77 accepted DX7 sysex? Keep it greazy! B3tles - Soul Jazz THEO - Prog Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Coda Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I thought the SY77 accepted DX7 sysex? Never tried, I had applications always. I think it´s a good idea to get batch conversion, at least for a bank of 32 entries in case of the old DX7 which I don´t have anymore since decades. A.C.
