Nunstummy Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I just picked up an original DX7 (1984) for almost free. Can't find the LSB, MSB midi implementation details in the User Manual. Does anybody have an existing environment defn I could get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Program Changes for 64 sounds (32 internal, 32 on the cartridge if present). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunstummy Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 Thanks! I was playing around with it last night and came to the same conclusion. All of a sudden I was reminded the state of midi in 1983, realizing the notion of a computer and DAW controlling keyboards wasn’t a reality yet. LOL. This DX7 I got needs work. I might open it up, take a vacuum and contact cleaner to it. It sat in a basement unused for 30 years. It’s rough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I still remember when I was a kid and a friend's brother had gotten one of the first DX7, we all rushed to his house to see (and hear) that thing!! 😄 Meanwhile, I know that's probably not what you're looking for but for the sake of curiosity, I found this environment editor for the DX7: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
