This demo shows you pad, string & ambient sounds. Some sounds are presets from various banks and some were made by myself. Most of the sounds play first only with some reverb and then with a strong chorus effect in order to give you an idea how DX7 can sound with a 80's DCO synth style chorus.
Everything was improvised live (no midi was used).

My ALPHAVOYAGER CHANNEL IS AGAIN BUSY with new, live series SYNESTHESIA. There is DX7 action too! Check it out!

Kinda surprised a 10 year old download still works. Thanks, I really like these pads.
A testament to the flexibility of FM synthesis. Some of those metallic pads almost sounds like a wavetable synth.
revisiting this years later! I really want a whole album of this
The sounds of the DX7 still sound contemporary! Really love this synth!
It is still the FUTURE
Which professional synths from the past don’t sound contemporary ?
Loving my Volca FM :)
Yeah it's an amazing synthesizer. I have an original and a DX7s
That sounds like the soundtrack from Sim Theme Park and I love it
The DX7 is wild to me, it's such a synth of extremes that it both does those really cheesy raspy 80s pop sounds but the same engine is also one of the best synths for ambient textures. It kind of makes sense in a weird way when you think about how it's designed though.
Also that chorus sounds great!
I totally agree. The hate is definitely unjust and we can totally blame the hate on 80s popstars who never even attempt to experiment or learn how to program it.
this is lovely! imagine this on a dusty old vinyl LP....with a glass of whiskey x
Wow, awesome sounds! The DX7 is one of my all-time favorite synths.
Thanx. It is my desert island synth :)
Best DX7 Patches I ever heard !
THE DX7 is one of the coolest synths ever made. yea its cheese for those who cannot see past it but this thing is pure magic.
Indeed. I sold my MK1 a few months ago and I already miss it. I'll go for MK2 now.
I was stuck in a rinky plinky rut on the DX7 but this gives me hope again. These are beautiful!
omg
You've done a really nice job of taking the DX7 beyond its already well known sounds. I especially like the chorus effect.
I actually love the "cold", "metally" basses more, but DX7 is FM awesomeness no matter how.
Best dx7 sounds I’ve heard on TH-cam
These synths were so popular you couldn't even get your hands on one until nearly 1985!
Is there a DX reface librarian or something to load FM sound patches?
Lovely sounds, great programming!
Dude, brilliant, exceptionally authentic, vibe totally captured
thanks.
I love these patches. . As soon as I can, I'd be glad to make a donation. I bookmarked this page and subscribed.
Gorgeous sounds, Rok. About to get FM8 and try to make some Eno-esque mellow sounds. And, of course, getting in touch to buy yours!
This awesome video was one of my motivators to buying a DX7ii as my first hardware synth, and it’s so sweet! Great programming too!
Wow I literally received these patches in a couple of minutes and they sound unbelievable on my Korg volca FM, thanks Rok 🙏🏻
Keep in mind that max velocity of DX7 keyboard is 99 and not the standard 127, so in order to have the patches sounding like in the demos you need to keep velocity quite low, usually below 50, otherwise many patches can sound quite dreadful.
THESE PATCHES ARE NOW AVAILABLE for a donation AT ultimate.dx7@outlook.com
If I was to purchase some, do the come on a floppy disc please? I have never made such a purchase for a vintage synth before. And do you include the DATA SHEETS so that the user can study the parameters more easily? Thanks, Paul
No floppy. They come in ZIP file, sent to your email. No data sheets, sorry. Although that is a great idea, but if you use software editor, you can see everything there. I recommend Herr Mueller DX7 editor. It is free and it works. There is also this new DEXED plugin, that also works as an editor, but I haven't tried it yet.
Rok Koritnik Ok, I have DX MANAGER software program. But only bought it last year so have not really used it much so far.
Then this will work.
Rok Koritnik Excellent!
Wonderful dx7 mk1 ambient,pads, and soundscapes sounds !!!! ciao
Hi, I have sent an email about making a donation for the Ultimate DX7 patches, thanks, James
Chorus and Reverb add a lot to the sound, making it stero and magic :)
Yes, and that's also why mid 80's DCO synths are so good at pad & string sounds. They have an on-board chorus effect in order to compensate for the thinner sound of DCOs. One has to approach DX7 in a similar manner as even if it is a 6 OP synth and you can patch it as a 2 or 3 sawtooth osc synth it still sounds weird when you detune them. You don't get the typical detune effect. So for detuning and fattening you have to use a good chorus.
All synths need at minimum the ever slight amount of reverb/short echoes
how do u make it stereo?
I ordered the sysex files this weekend. I was especially interested in the ambient/pad/string sounds, but Rok sent all three sets (and very promptly, I might add). The pads are my favorite, but there's good stuff in all 3. The basses in particular are surprisingly un-DX7 sounding. I mean that in a good way. These are not your father's DX7 patches!
Is Rok's father famous?!
So I can order these?
@@amonster8mymother I'd like to order a few of these patches.
Just recently I made a new ambiental bank and the demo is here:
th-cam.com/video/iYhs4vy6UW4/w-d-xo.html
hi rok,many thansks fo your sysex file :) it's a very wonderful banks for yamaha dx7 mk1,ciao from naples-italy
Glorious! I had a DX 100 back in the day. Just picked up a DX 27 in mint condition.
A revolução dos anos 80.
Awesome demo. DX7 4ever.
These sounds mellifluous!
Outstanding soundscapes here! Just emailed you about donating :)
Folks, I just released an album full of DX7. Most melodic stuff is done with it, even all basses on song Ocean Drops and electric piano-like sounds are all DX7 as are all pads.

you rock bro all you need now is dreamy 35mm film videos and a female vocalist =)
DIXEN KUNTZ
Thanx! Well, as far as female vocals go, I like that, but this album was really composed with instruments carrying the main lines. I did try to add vocals, but they just blurred the whole thing. I'm a "less is more" type of person and if one line sings well and says something, then I don't want to cover it with something.
Videos are here:
th-cam.com/channels/q8qOnZ-JD1oGUB7Qyhypzg.html
I'll upload the next four in the next four days. I'm just having a video publishing session this week. So far I uploaded 5 videos, one each day. Enjoy!
Great Video!!!
Finally it doesn't matter what synth (Analog, Digital, VA or VSTi) you use but how you use it
Demetris Katrantsiotis Absolutely right. Listen to the sounds and put them in the context of the music you make. If it fits and adds, it works
YES!
9:46 SUPER!
In the songs "Sunglasses at Night" (1984-1985), "Jump (for My Love)" (1984-1985) and "Faces" (1985), the Yamaha DX7 internal/ROM-3A patch "Bright Bows" is/was heard.
These sounds are lovely! I'm curious about what you were using for the chorus effect. I've been on the lookout for a decent chorus pedal to pair with my own DX7, and the chorus here is perfect. Cheers.
The chorus is Korg MDE-X plugin in Deep Ensemble setting. An old plugin from Legacy Collection. It sounds terrific. Alternatively you can try Chorus 60 from Tal Audio.
If you want hardware I'm not sure what I'd recommend. The TC JUNE sounds nothing like these old choruses. I still have to find a hardware equivalent to this plugin.
Very nice job of programming.
Amazing!
I am on the fence regarding buying a mark I versus a IIFD. I will definitely revisit your work to download patches and donate ASAP!
shoe Both are great. IIFD is bitimbral and has unison, plus many parameters that are not stored with patches on mk1 are stored with patches on IID. That is great. It sounds cleaner, which is sometimes a plus and sometimes not. It definitely isn't as sexy as Mk1, though ;)
great demo! Thanks :)
Excellent! Very nice. 👌🇨🇦😎
My ALPHAVOYAGER channel is getting bussy! ;)
th-cam.com/channels/q8qOnZ-JD1oGUB7Qyhypzg.html
There you can listen to my music and watch the videos! Thanx!
I tried to load them into Dexed ... it didn't work :(
Have you ever tried SynprezFM?
10:16 I really want to recreate this patch
BRILLIANT programing Rok! I really the the patches @ 3:38 onwards. Never heard DX7 sounds like these before mate. Definitely one of the BEST videos on the DX7 ever!
Thanx. DX7 can be very dreamy, glassy, even ethereal, but not in a D50 way. I'd say it has this acoustic, physical quality in sound that most synths lack. You can almost feel the metal or glass. That's what I love about DX7. It never sounds plastic.
Rok Koritnik Nice description Rok. Everybody generalizes it as being METALIC just because they hear other people saying the word! Such a limiting term and people do not realish how lush and warm the DX7 can sound in the correct hand (like yourself!).
Of course it can sound warm. It can actually sound warmer than some DCO synths or VA synths. Just listen to some organs in DX7 or some basses. But really, I find it even does those metallic things in a warm way (by that I do not mean those horrible clangorous, distorted metallic growls you get when experimenting with it and it the beast gets out of your hands and starts barking like an android dog). People have trouble understanding this synth as very few take the trouble and program it. Therefore everyone thinks it is only capable of slap basses, electric pianos and metallophone-like sounds.
Rok Koritnik Ha ha, yes, when people first start to mess about with it, they just end up with awful deep and clangy sounds! Then they just dismiss it as being either too hard to program, or an inferior instrument!
DX7 has a very narrow sweet spot. When you tweak any Roland Juno you basically never end up with un-listenable sound. On DX7 you end up with that kind of sound most of the time if you don't know what you're doing.
great sounds!
this is perfect for vaporwave
Email Sent! Your DX7 sounds are amazing!
Thanks ....
do you still have these patches available?
What do you think of the Yamaha Reface DX? I just got one for extremely cheap because the vintage DX7 synths I looked at were a little too pricey, do you think it can accomplish anything close to a real DX7?
@@WarriorEsoteric Reface DX lacks the weight and physicality of DX7. It sound more modern, more polished and less 3D. I wouldn't mind having one, but it doesn't replace s DX7. I'm looking for a replacement myself, because there's just too much maintainance involved with vintage synths. DXs are very old now and it's hard to find one that doesn't require servicing unless you pay a lot of money. I quite like Opsix, but unfortunately the interface is not optimal. I'll likely get one, though.
In the covered version of the song "Dancing in the Dark" and the song "I Wanna Know What Love Is", the Yamaha DX7 PA-Decoder MONST-ROM D1/D-1 patch "Carlos" is/was heard.
Great sounds my friend
Beautiful!
Great demo!
I sold mine after really getting to grips with it's principles and programming the hell out of it. Almost anyhting you made on it was buzy and drenched in sinusoid harmonics. The crazy thing is that Elka built a 4 operator FM synth based on a Yamaha chip that actually sounded a lot better (EK/EM 44). Wish I had put so much effort in that one.
DX7 has a very small sweetspot. You have to figure out where to search for good sounds. If you just experiment it sounds dreadful most of the time. Also, it's best to let it do what it does well and not push it into directions it doesn't want to go.
@@synesthetica I totally agree. I found that sweetspot. For me it however only led to 2 killer sounds and another handfull of quite nice ones. That is however a very narrow basis for a long term relationship. An electronic instrument should never dictate what one gets out of it. It's programmer should. And in that respect the DX7 scores very low. It was however good at sweet electric piano's, a good assortment of other basic keyboard sounds and , for the time, very impressive bass sounds. That was already good enough to make it a resounding succes.
@@marcbrasse747 I simply consider it as an instrument with its specific sound and abilities. And I do that with every synth, because to date I haven't played a synth that would be able to produce every sound I imagine, and I consider that a good thing. Just now I'm working on soundbanks for Nord Lead 2 and Oberheim OB12. They both have their limitations as well as their strengths. So I just don't try to force them to do what the can't do and instead use them for what they excel in. The limitations of OB12 are greater than those of Nord Lead, though, but I can create some sounds on OB12 I can't on NL2 and vice versa.
DX7 for me is a synth for dreamy e-pianos, metallophone-like sounds, glassy pads, some specific basses and electric sounding leads. Maybe some strings here and there and that's about it. It doesn't do everything, but it does some things the way no other synth does.
@@synesthetica You are of course totally right. Getting the best out of a stubborn instrument is often part of the atraction. The DX7 just wasn't my thing in the end. :-)
See, that’s my problem with FM too. It all sound sounds like sinus shapes when it comes to pads. FM (or at least the DX7 and MODX FM engines) is only good for bells, metallic, shit. I like deep, solid sound and fizzy sounds and I just can’t get them from FM.
Wanted to hit like, but then discovered that I already had 😉
Really nice!
Thank you!
Very nice, have you ever done any programimg with the DX7's big brother the TX816 ?
Thank you! No, I haven't done and TX816 programming as I don't have one.
Is there a way to give more than one like to this video?
That second patch kind of reminds me of B12 "time tourist" album¿?🎹💫👽👌
wew lad 0:51 B12 - "Gimp". awesome
what external effects were used here?
Is this using a VST Chorus please? And is the DX7 in MONO for the first example, and then STEREO for the second (ie when the Chorus is activated)?
Yes and yes.
Rok Koritnik Ok, I could hear it 'widening' when I listened thru headphones.
Incredible work. Really inspiring sounds. I'm slowly learning FM with my humble (but awesome!) TX81z. Once I get a six op Yamaha, I'll be purchasing these from you to learn all I can from them.
I'm waiting for an V50 to be delivered wich is basically an expanded TX81Z with keys and sequencer. I'm both excited and afraid of the FM beast. I hope I can pull out some sounds in this vein...
Hey man, sent a donation but haven't received the patches yet. I don't have a DX7 but can't wait to try them in the Dexed plugin! Cheers
cpkcpk1 Patches are in your mailbox. I was on a vacation in mountains and had poor internet access. Thanx for your patience ;)
Stunning patches, would love a dx7 but don't have the space. Very excited for the Volca FM!
+ben1210 Get a TX802 rack module or a TX7 module. Or if you can find one, a DX200.
good shout, tx's look pretty interesting!
+ben1210 Yo ... got my TX7 some weeks ago and i think it's great ... built like a tank ;) ... though i'm still looking for a decent (realtime-) editor for Mac ...
+ben1210 Or get the Super-DX TG-77... 10x better than a straight DX-7...
Nice mid range pads but still with some bass depth, as well as slightly glassy and metallic pad sounds. Way better than the average example from a modern synth. From what I here how it's lot less delicate and many sounds try and swoosh around and fizz to much, like and hard synth.
what's the deal with the patch at 9:10? that's what i've been trying to figure out, i just picked up my 7S 4 days ago. any leads?
Have you indentified this patch? Is it contained in the "all the web" patches collection or is it some custom made patch?
Zakon! Love it!
Getting a decent board plus ALL the patches will cost as least $5000? But with a DAW, window 10 laptop, and mostplugins, a crappy or decent Midicontroller, interface will be less than a grand??
Love the video. What chorus were you using for this video?
Korg MDE-X, deep ensemble.
If you were to use the DX7 on a live gig, then which CHORUS PEDAL would you use please? BOSS-CE1?
I bought Zoom MS70-cdr. It has two or three great choruses, that will do for live. But I like it's reverbs more. I want to try EH Polychorus one day on DX7. Might work well. I can't say about CE-1. The best thing is simply to try a few different ones and see. I must say that I'm totally blown away by this Korg MDE-X ensemble. I wish they would make a hardware pedal. It has that 80's DCO synth chorus sound.
Rok Koritnik I have BOSS CE-1. Very expensive but sounds great with FENDER RHODES thru it !
I've used it with a Boss CE-2B with nice results
Mate I tried to donate to you on paypal but it's not recognising the email.... Would love to get my hands on these patches, and am happy to pay, just let me know how
try ultimate.dx7@outlook.com
It should work. Thanx.
it is so nice!
Can you sell this patches for use with the SY77?
Got anything for the Yamaha Reface DX?
A message to Beedocs: You are completely unreachable via email. I kept getting my messages rejected no matter what email address I'm sending them from, thus I can't deliver you the patches. We have to figure something out.
I'm wanting patches for a very 80s sound. Do you have anything like this?
Fantastic soundscapes. Wow, I live it. You got an email
The very end there reminded me of some of the Mechwarrior 2 soundtrack pieces. Sounds very similar (and just might be, considering that game was released in 1995)
What if I can’t make a PayPal donation? I would really like these patches but I would have no way of getting a donation to you
Email me to ultimate.dx7@outlook.com
The unison detune change all
It also sounded like music you hear in 80s through present home video and television logos.
It’s literally the boomers musical Bible!
Patches available still ?
hi rok, is your re.membering album available on itunes?
Ilham Abdusyukur No, but it is available here:
alphavoyager.bandcamp.com/album/re-membering
Hey I don’t know if you’re still doing this but I emailed you about these patches and it says the email is not valid. But I definitely want the hell out of these. How can I get in touch with you?
I didn't receive any email from you. Please, check if you've typed the address correctly (ultimate.dx7@outlook.com).
@@synesthetica thank you, just sent another!
Hi I'd like to know how to get patches in this video.
I'm trying to donate on your website but cant find a button to do so...
Send me an email to: ultimate.dx7@outlook.com
Thank you!
Awesome sound! Can you send me the patches?
I wonder what an octave down pedal would add to this sounds? Maybe then an eq
Are these still available?
I love my DX7 for this FM patches... that's so funny and sexy !
This sound is really from dx7 mk1?. My have a lots of noise. TX816 or emulator?
Yes, it's coming from DX7 mk1. I use low pass filter at around 12kHz to get rid of some of the white noise. It's also that not all the patches are noisy, but most of the bass patches are, but you can always cut those high frequencies.
Rok Koritnik - I hear a lot of people talk about the noise of the DX7 mk1 but my TX7 is really quite clean.
Is your music still on Bandcamp?
Not anymore. You can download the whole album from my soundcloud page:
soundcloud.com/alphavoyager
1:23 would make a good house track
What chorus? Which reverb? Settings?
Goth108 Variety Of Sound - Epicverb, Korg MDE-X Deep Ensemble setting.
Thanks!
@@synesthetica Did you put the chorus before or after the reverb?
@@JayTheEnn Before.
B12: warp records - the sound of 0:40 :)
8:05 look at these diamonds they shine look at these bitches they lyin
ahhhhhh.. Beautiful Dx7 bliss! Care to share any programming tips? :)
For start, use algorithms 1-6 and 14-15. They will give you a 2-3 oscillator architecture. Then simply experiment with different pitches and levels of modulators (in case of algorithm 5; OP 2, 4 and 6). The fun part are the envelopes :)
Rok Koritnik Would be great if you made a TUTORIAL video on programing two or three patches. I am sure everyone would appreciate that, including myself!
monsterjazzlicks
I'd like to do that one day, but currently I'm too busy.
I just released an album, full of DX7 and have tons of work with that now.

Rok Koritnik In your own time mate. It would be well worth waiting for!
