Converting DX7 Sounds to MOD 7

[SoulBe]

Hi,

I updated with the MOD 7 and maybe somebody can help me with this:

In my old DX7 I have some self programmed sounds I wanted to convert to MOD 7. Unfortunately as I had a memory expasion in the DX7 I never stored the sounds to a computer.

Does anybody know how to store these sounds on an computer as sys files that I can load them into the MOD7? ( I guess there must be a program to convert or with cubase?)

Thanks

Hi

We have some DX7.syx files that we have had the MOD 7 play. So if you can export the files you have as sysex then they should load in.

Thanks Mike,

how did you export it from the DX7 to the PC? of course via Midi port, but does that create an sys file automatically on the pc ?

Thanks

Hi -

I put up an archive od 200,000 or so DX sounds in systems exclusive file format that MOD-7 can read. All of the sounds provided are in the public domain; so they are free for download. Note that many of the sounds are duplicated across various banks. by default, MOD-7 reads one file at a time - 32 DX sounds into program slots UC-0 to UC-31, writing over whatever is there.

The files are here:

I think we did the data dump in the DX to Midiox on a PC if my memory serves me.....

Thanks Kevin,

I´ve already loaded the files, very nice thank you .

And thanks UKtechsupport - I´ll go for a software to get my own sounds on the pc or does anyone know freeware-software for this?

Midiox is freeware... it's Windows only though.

MIDI-OX is free http://www.midiox.com/
It is quite the MIDI multi tool for me, I even route the Continuum to the OASYS with it when my sequencer is not running.

Ok, thanks for that, I´ll get it and save my sounds from my DX7.

BTW the MOD7 sounds great, especially when you combine 2 engines like Kevin suggested.
