It would be cool if you could send me a link to the factory patches. Upload them somewhere.

I still own my DX5. I got miles and miles and hours and hours out of the thing.

dude yer killing it.  hicklust4lyfe

[becar67]

I just bought DX5 :o)

Can someone post a link for DX7 manual?

Thank you.

Man the dx7 (well dx5 in this case) has some more awesome sounds than todays boring same sounding minimoog rip off sounds they use today in like pop and RnB music today.

I sold my DX5 about 3 years ago and have regretted it. I have a Kurzweil PC2X, which is great for pienos and strings...but the synth sounds are not even close to the "5". I had some really great FM Rhodes patches using both of the synth engines. Find the manual on line and learn the beast. You'll never regret it.

Ooh I have this model. It's... quite old. Are they worth anything? I don't seem to have any use for it.

[sauermusicDE]

@AnthonyTheMr Are you kidding? No use for a DX5? You could almost rule the world with this flexible FM synth! Have you ever tried to load just a few of the millions of free patches from the internet into your machine and then layer them? Send the signal through a little effects processor (for chorus, delay, reverb, phaser, flanger etc.) and you will be happy again. The DX5 must be worth about double as much as the old DX7 (around 500 EUR or something, collectors pay even more).

[AnthonyTheMr]

@sauermusicDE Oh hurray thanks for the reply. Oh and apparently I just 'found' this in my closet. There's no manual or anything, so I'm quite lost to what to do with it or how to use it as well.

However, I'm having a garage sale soon, so I'm probably going to sell it to actual players ... any thoughts?

[sauermusicDE]

@AnthonyTheMr Sell it on ebay!

[Slashe50]

@AnthonyTheMr I'd find a manual online for that thing, and then learn how to use it before you go and sell it blindly and probably regret it later. Seriously. The DX5 is a helluva synth.

[Keyboardman88]

@AnthonyTheMr If you still have the DX5, email me, I may have a copy of the owners manual. Since the DX5 is basically 2 DX7's in one keyboard, you will need an original DX7 manual. If I remember correctly, the manual for the DX5 just covers the areas that are speciaol to the keyboard.

FM is beautiful

[zenmachinefilms]

I still have one of these. Locked away in a friend's attic though (he has the space, I do not). Really nice machine. Basically two DX7s in one box, with a 76 note keyboard.

[dreamrecorder]

Nice tune... I've got a DX7.

[rockawayy]

@dreamrecorder hey every one i have a question is it posible to split a DX7 in two??? if u guys dont get what i am sayin i am mean the sounds!!

[Misterludo2]

@rockawayy

only on the DX-7 MkIId and fd,... but if you install the grey mater E! or the super max,..then you have a 16 part multi-timbral dx7 ;-)

[hetyus]

Sound's like the Solaris soundtrack.

[buchla300]

Gotta love the Yamaha DX series.

I used a TX816 for years (still do) and would kill for a DX1

[LF0]

saw one on gumtree the other day surprised that it was only £3000 gbp. But a dx5 is basically a dx1 with a hair cut

[VictorFleur]

and the dx7II fd is a DX5 with another hair cut (and some tatoos...)

[AttilaSVK]

...and half the polyphony...

[VictorFleur]

(I forgot the E! expansion, with sequencer and other things...)

[ubiquitousmusic]

you are the man
