its pretty easy download dexed and cartirdges. Open up cartirdges in the manager and click onthem, itll show you all the sounds in there, then just audition them and add them like you would with any other patch

@Andras Szalay any plans to make the midi commands uniform in Va and FM mode. I just spent like 45 minutes bc theres not anywhere that really explains that the commands are different in this mode, or that some for example CC 66 does not work at all in FM mode

FWIW as I still have a use my v3 would be lovely to have those new 'song' sounds on that one too, if at all possible. I know I can't be the only one to make this humble request, I would be willing to pay a few bucks for that update if it makes a difference.

@Andras Szalay might be able to convert these quickly. If not, I can copy them manually and share them as a bank.

How do you do it?

Just search for DX7 cartridge folders online. If you download Dexed, there are several cartridges included.

To see them in the editor, put it in FM mode and browse the local directory once you’ve downloaded the folders to your computer. You can then drag the individual patches onto tiles in the manager to upload to the pedal.

We have plans for that, but the remaining program memory after the current implementation is 17 bytes :( Maybe I can make some more optimization on the code, but it is very hard, since I did already several turns of optimization, not much options are left anymore. But you would not have to waste 45 minutes if you read the chart on page 9, which clearly explains all CC implementations of the FM mode.

Peter, you can share it, but I will also put them on the web page. We did not do that because who upgrades to 4.5 does not need it, he has the sounds within the software, but true, others can also benefit from these sounds who cannot upgrade. We will do that.

or on the patch sharing place? Might encourage others to upload theirs

I placed an order for the V4 (VIP) a while ago. It said my order was processed and I would receive an email with payment info shortly but I’ve received nothing so I reordered. Still nothing.
Will this come through later or is there a problem?

It’s past bedtime and I was hoping to get this done before I head to bed but I think I’ll finish it up in the morning. 🙂

Use Manager view and the folders will appear in the left panel when in FM mode. Double-click on the folder name there to see the 32 files within it. Drag those onto empty tiles (or highlight them and press “send to bank”).

It worked and it opened up a whole new world
tnx
Is there a way to make the midi out work all the time instead of opening it In each preset
something like global midi ?

Great. Glad it worked.

No, there’s no global setting to enable MIDI output. Perhaps a MIDI CC command to enable/disable it would be a good idea. It is slightly more complex due to the separate setting for which PC it outputs and the octave settings, so it kind of makes sense to program these yourself.

However, perhaps in future we should enable it by default on all patches, set a bunch of different octave settings per bank, and map the PC to the patch number (though is you start moving patches around it could get confusing).

For now, you’ll need to enable it and re-save your patches via the editor.

It seems that the Midi CC 66 doesn't work in FM ou setlist mode. I change presets using my Helix Stadium, what Midi message can I send to FI to ensure that it's turned off ?
It seems that sending it a PC message turns it on (which is nice), but now I need to turn it off.
The toggle on/off will not work in my use-case, I really need a "off" message.

69 in fm mode for both on and off greater than 64 value

Thanks, but CC 69 is toggle on/off. It cannot force the FI to go to off.

What I've found so far is : send a PC with LSB 0 to force VA mode, then send the CC 66 to switch off, but I need to wait at least 200 ms between these two messages (otherwise the CC66 is ignored), that's way too long...

What would be great is the CC 69 to accept three values :
<32 : switch off
>32 <64 : switch on
>64 : toggle
instead of having two different CCs for on/off/toggle
