Can I get current program settings using this panel? I can’t seem to get the “Get patch & performance” button to actually get the current settings on the TX7. Do I need to set the TX7 to something I’m missing?
Well that worked easy enough. I had the TX7 set right, but I just needed to power cycle it. Facepalm
It doesn’t grab everything properly for me still. For example, the portamento settings don’t grab properly. Basically it seems like the settings that you can actually adjust from the panel of the TX7 don’t read right on Ctrlr. Not sure if that’s me again or something up with the program.
If you read the text I have added for the panel in the panel upload section you’ll see that’s what my experience is also. I really don’t know why this happens, because I literally assign each incoming midi parameter value to the appropriate modulator. If what you notice – the settings one can actually adjust from the panel of the TX7 are not getting the right value – is true, then I know where to look. I will dive deeper into this. Thanks and please test this panel some more.
Gotcha.
I’ll keep messing with it.
This may be a bit of a noob question (I have a tx81z as well but don’t understand FM synthesis as well as analog subtractive synthesis) but what are the level/rate controls in each voice mapped to? The things aren’t labeled well at least for me, since I don’t really know what I’m doing here.
Sorry if I’m leeching more help than I can provide.
I’m not sure if I understand your question… Initially I thought the numbers 1,2, 3 and 4 (both for rate and level) were the same as ADSR (attack = 1, decay = 2 etc.), but when those modulators were receiving their value, there was some weird behavior, so I took the easy way and labeled them according to the manual. In a way the modulators behave almost like ADSR, but not entirely ;-). Maybe it’s a typical Yamaha thing, I don’t know. Somebody else can shed a light? (I just bought the TX7 a couple of months ago and haven’t spend much time playing with the thing. Like you I still have to learn the ins and outs of FM synthesis.)
Ah, I found that spot in the DX7 manual now.
I can’t seem to get the breath controller to actually do anything with those values though. Frustrating….
Oh man, I think I just figured it out. The panel has an error. You can’t set a value of 4 to the mod sensitivity on the TX7. it’s 0-3! I’d been testing with values of 0 and 4 to try to get the most extreme effect and hitting my head trying to figure out why I got no difference.
Value of 3!
Now I’m getting somewhere.
Ah, thanks! I will adjust the low/high value of this modulator. (You can do it yourself also, of course.)
I think I misunderstood your post. By “panel” you mean the LCD-screen of the TX7 itself, not my TX7 CTRLR panel… But anyway, those values should have a range from 0 to 15, not 0 to 4, according to the manual.
OK, you’re right! I will change those values. Thanks for noticing and sorry for any inconvenience caused by this 🙂
No, not at all. I’m glad I was able to actually figure out what the issue is.
Now I have to go through some thousands of patches and find the ones that I like to make work well with the breath controller.
At least there are only 32 patches to be stored on the synth, unlike some modern ones with 300+ slots you feel like you have to fill…
