GX7 - Yamaha DX7 to Modular G2 Conversion Tool
Subject description: First beta release |
  |
|
Introduction
How many times you have desired to convert your old Yamaha DX7 sounds to your new Clavia Nord Modular G2? Clavia gave us a good starting point, including FM Operators and a DX Router as modules. Each parameter is here, ready to be tweaked to achive our beloved DX sounds. But how tedious is tweak all those parameters manually?
People starts asking for a tool that helps G2 users to load Yamaha patches into their new G2 synthesizer but, until now, nothing was created.
This tool let you load any Yamaha DX7 SysEx bank and let you send patch parameters as Midi CC# to your G2 synthesizer. There are some limitations that don’t let us to send all parameters at once. DX7 parameters are over 150 while G2 usable Midi CC are less then 120. The workaround is to send parameters one Operator per time, doing some hand work on your G2 Editor.
Contents:
Inside the program you'll find a DX7 Template and the original DX7 ROM1a bank file converted to G2 format.
This program is Freeware. You can use it everywhere and you can share it. I only ask to you to join ProgSounds, in order to download this software, and share the link to this post instead sharing the file directly.
Musically,
Luca

Great! Thank you. I've so far only been playing with the preset bank you created.
When changing patches, I get a weird 'tuning up' period - say I load batch 25-32, then hold down a chord, and the pitch rises slowly and it takes a few seconds to reach normal tune. Anyone know what's going on?

Yes, I got the same issue. I think that is the Pitch envelope or the lfo.. I have to tweak the patch better.

p.s.:
I hope to see this news on Musicthing

I must be missing something here.
Why not just pump the DX7 data into a G2 .pch2 file and skip the MIDI CC step? The G2 file information has been reverse engineered - |

Unfortunately not completely, there is a lot of work to be done on that still.

Well, I installed and even downloaded MSCoree.dll, but now it wants me to do... WHAT?
'Please set registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\InstallRoot to point to the .NET Framework install location'
Who knows, tell it to me what it means...

I've just release a new version v0.9.2 that fixes some issues. Please upgrade your installation.
Cheers,

So looking at the library page there are not many patches..
So is anyone planning to convert all the original DX7 presets?
I'm a mac user so it's out of my reach!

When you want to convert DX7 patches to NM G2 patches have look at http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-15405.html . I think Luca removed his tool after the g2ools stuff was made?
