Thank you so much! I spent a lot of time when I was 18 making my own 32 patches that I stuck with for years. I was gifted a DX7 not too long ago and put the SuperMAX board in it and, while I think its immense, I'm a little daunted by its possibilites; evidently I'm not 18 any more...! This video has inspired me to delve and tinker once again. Incidentally, you seem to have the same LFO rate and depth preferences as myself - so many presets have them too fast and strong! Fancy doing another SuperMAX delving a little further? Cheers fella, more power to your elbow.
Some very nice tips. I don't have a DX7, however, this also applies to casio vz1, especially tone stacking. With VZ1 it is possible to assign pitch tremolo speed and rate to the same controller, where increasing one will decrease the other. Cool stuff
Thank you for this great video! Yes, Yamaha DX EG terminology might look confusing, but it does make sense if you know that “rate” is “speed of level change”, so lower value means longer time (slower speed). And it also makes more sense if you know that bigger changes between levels take more time (due to “rate”/speed value).
I'm on the fence over a SuperMax card I found on Ebay. This video is pushing me in the direction of getting it, as it's the last one available from the seller. Excellent, in-depth demo. The E Piano double layer is astounding.
Thank you for the informative video Tim! I have always wanted to install the SuperMAX upgrade, but have feared that it might change the existing workflow of editing patches on the DX7 too much. Though in this video, it sounds like you are still able to modify patches the standard way, just with an extra set of new functions. Maybe I will give it a try!
Yes, the original workflow is exactly the same, you just access an alternative mode that opens up all the other options. It's like a secret doorway into another world. Besides if you don't like it you can always uninstall SuperMAX, it's just three chips that can easily be swapped in and out.
nice to see a pro sound designer explore a synth as opposed to a n other reviewer. i have a dx7 with supermax. transforms it. i also tried the grey matter E! not as interesting sonically but it somehow improves midi sysexe response ie you can send sysexe without always cutting the sound off. be interested to hear a comparison of the mighty dx1 vs the supermax7 ...the patch morphing can provide some mad real time stuff. and finally the its thin harsh digital unlike filter synth drones...back under your rocks.
Really great lesson !!! lovely sounds, pad sound is really something special !!! Mabey you could do this on a Roland JV1080, Korg DS-8 or Deepmind 12. Great content !! We want more of this stuff !!!
This is amazing! I’ve been looking for demos of the Supermax and there are none as deep as this. I’m interested because I programmed a behringer BCR2000 to control all of the main parameters in realtime but a stock DX7 will respond very slowly to sysex and needs to retrigger notes to take effect, it will even crash if receives too much too fast. The Yamaha DX200 responds properly to the BCR but it sounds very clean (it is a DX7 iis in a box). Thinking about the possibilities of the DX7 with arpeggiator, real time control, stackable/split voices with velocity switching makes me really happy :) I will definitely order a Supermax this week. Check out the Behringer BCR32 that will come out soon. Thank you for your time. Will chime back when I get this working.
Hey Tim regarding the patches (voices )that come with the Supermex chip pretty loaded mine sounds like the clip every so often have you ever had an issue like that with safety Caligula patch for example thanks so much brother

Great video, can’t wait to hear more!

Those who think it's thin can't have heard the MK1.

Thinking of doing this to mine and upgrading the screen

I would hate this guy to have a safety critical job that involved doing anything quickly x

a dx1. oooh. make sure it doesn't get lonely...buy it a GX1 for company;-)
I'd have to buy another house first!
put the effects in the description? Strymon BigSky SUperDRENCHVerb 2.0?
Hi, I say which reverb I'm using during the video.
👍🏻😉
Did you purchase the chip set on ebay? That’s the only place where I could find one.
I did.
