Both Channels have a Pitch shifter enabled for each to eliminate phase cancelation. My Logic Pro X FX Chain: Orginal Yamaha DX7 - Mono out, duplicated to two Audio Channels, hard panned Left and Right. In the YouTube video: I'm using 'Dexed' as my Sysex MIDI Editor and Librarian with Logic Pro X, 10.3. There's a monster that lives insides my DX7 and is waiting to be released! That is Character!īy experimenting with some cool FX sound tricks, I was able to get something really cool. I can only imagine when I start getting into the real thick of the things when I start designing my own DX7 sounds in my genres like Industrial Metal, Psytrance and maybe some Dubstep. Why? It just had a certain sound to it that cuts into a mix. Some say it was due to the complexity of how the FM synth was designed or its unique power supply and ROM chip! To me, it was the soul of the machine that defined the era, dirty Low-Fi 12- bit sounds, with a mean-ass low-end. Let's take for example here an original Yamaha DX7 FM Synth A staple synth found in most of the Top 40-1980's Pop songs. IMHO, the difference between a Real DX7 and those Synth Clones like Dexed, Arturia, and FM8, is the character. The VST clones just can't compare to the real thing! The reason is simple, Most VST Plugins just have no real Soul! I was actually shocked to the kinds of sounds I was able to get out of it. I found a nice Yamaha DX7 Synth the other day and had a little fun hooking it up to a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) called Logic Pro X. Korg OPSIX will be available soon for 799€ worldwide.Funny YouTube Tutorial on how to harness an original Yamaha DX7 synthesizer and create some Gnarly Nasty FM Synth Sounds! For me, it’s more a good starting point for new sounds. Personally, I love this functionality and I don’t need the character of the DX7. The huge selection of features in OPSIX invites you to do this. You should use this function above all to load sound templates that can be transformed into new sounds. Thanks to the Sine 12Bit waveform, which is automatically selected during DX7 import, the sounds have a vintage sound.Īnyone looking for a Synthesizer like the legendary Yamaha instrument is wrong here. Even if the OPSIX is a more modern FM engine with significantly more features, it comes close to the DX7. But does one sound like the original? No, they don’t. Two Japanese synthesizer worlds meet in one device. An algorithm change, a filter, some effects can be used on a classic DX7 sound. Here the whole process and some sound examples also as a video. Perfect for musicians who are new to FM synthesis and don’t want to get lost in programming. The exciting thing now: you can use this as a template to design new sounds. It’s already done. And your OPSIX is richer by 32 new DX7 sounds. Once done, an indication appears in the OPSIX whether you want to transfer the sounds and where you want to save them. When this is done, you start the transfer process from your SysEx Librarian software. Further, you can only transfer patches in a bank of 32 patches, not individually.īefore you transmit a bank, you need to select a init sound in the browser. Attention: the OPSIX can only read DX7 patches of the first generation, so no sounds from the Yamaha DX7 II, etc. Once connected, your computer recognizes the OPSIX as a Generic USB MIDI sound device and then you are ready to go. To load DX7 patches onto the OPSIX you don’t need much: the OPSIX, a USB cable, and a SysEx Librarian software for PC & Mac. You can import/read them, but they don’t sound like in the original. How close does it sound and can we import/read DX7 patches. The most important questions that came up at the start went back to the DX7. Most of the questions that came up at the start: Can the OPSIX DX7 import and read patches. It’s a kind of next-generation FM Synthesizer with significantly more sound design freedom than in classic DX synthesizers. Korg released the OPSIX this week with a big bang. OPSIX is Korg’s latest innovative 6-operator FM Synthesizer of the next generation also supports patches of the legendary Yamaha DX7.
