Please note that even though the DX9 is a 4-operator FM synthesizer, these patches are not compatible with any other Yamaha 4-operator FM synthesizer due to the fact that DX9 shares the same patch data format with the DX7, and has the same envelope generators as a DX7. This bank is only 20 patches, the maximum number of patches in a DX9 bank, so if it is loaded into a Yamaha DX with more than 20 patches per bank such as a DX7, patches 21 and up will be identical to patch 20. While it is possible to load these patches in FM8, FM8 is not strictly a DX7 simulator, and FM8 cannot properly reproduce most of these patches.Įven though the patches in this bank were made on a DX9, it can be loaded into a DX7 or a DX9 because of the similarities in hardware and patch parameter storage. Dexed, a free VST which simulates nearly all of the hardware and features of the DX7, can also load and reproduce these voices with great accuracy. It is also possible to load these patches on an SY77 or SY99 with the appropriate software. This bank can be loaded into any Yamaha DX7 or DX9 equivalent synthesizer, including the DX7II series, the TX7, TX802, and TX216/816 synthesizers.

This DX7 analog patch is uniquely DX7 with its’ FM synthesis engine.

Also, it can mimic filter sweeping, creating analogue-like, yet uniquely DX7 sounds. It is amazing how the Yamaha DX7 sounds are so close to sounds from Oberheim synths. It also features a female choir pad.īeautiful, warm and rich Oberheim synth (e.g., OB-X and OB-Xa) string and brass patches are faithfully created.

It includes a brand new Oberheim OB-X like synth brass sound (soft and mellow like the original). With added bass, guitar, FX and drum tracks, they bring the song to life!
