Hello Oasys & Kronos friends,

After more than 8 months of work, i release the Complete DX2MOD7...
This pack is a collections of the best Voices ever released for the Yamaha DX Family Synths!!!!

Some details on the task.. I downloaded all the free voices "100.000 Voices for DX7" after that i began to find them original release names and voice list,
repacked them by brand and artist, Loaded every voices to my DX7 MKI and my TX7 Module.. and then converted them to OASYS MOD7 Format... The last step was to recreate Banks of 128 patch!!!!

So every .PGC Files are 128 PATCHES!!!!!

So there is 88 Banks of 128 Sounds (apart favorites is not completed)
So It is near than 11264 voices!!!!

I didn't change any programs.. no fx and sorry no category instruments...

I hope you will enjoy the power of the MOD7 Engine ...Love my OASYS!!!!!

First i would like to thanks all the DX7 Programmers from the 80'S ... they have done such beautiful voices from FM Synth... !!!!

Second, these voices were free to download so keep them like that and respect people who created them ....

Third, These voices were all released for our Great Oasys Users to continue to enjoy this NB'1 Workstation... of course they are compatible with the Kronos .. So all you guys can enjoy them!!!!

I post a Dropbox Link: (Updated Link 08/10/2017)

Big thank you! It's pretty cool MOD7 reads DX7 files but it was no fun looking for patches in hundreds of different un-browsable sysex files!

Hi Loren,
I'm having difficulty downloading from Dropbox. I get the message that it cant download because of a possible virus or spyware. Is there another way to download them?
Thanks Frank

Thank you very much ... Some time ago I had the idea to support copy/paste DX7 sysex files to PCG files with PCG Tools, but I was not allowed to.

If I have more time I will try (or someone else?) to add all those 86 banks into one big Virtual bank file, so it will be very easy to copy/paste to PCG files for the Kronos, and also to search through all programs.

I'm thinking ... I think there are only 64 virtual banks (and about 24 normal program banks). Maybe I should make an even bigger virtual banks file with 128 virtual banks, or even better: with a user definable number of virtual bankis.

Why were you now allowed?

Sounds like a great idea to me.

I also thought it was a good idea, but for the conversion I needed more documentation and probably due to legal/copyright/brand reasons I could not have access to the documents (conversion between DX7 parameters and Kronos MOD-7 parameters).

Just curious, did anybody specifically not allow this. If the format details are public, and you use your own intellectual expertise to do the mapping, then I don't see any issue. I speak as somebody who has converters between Dx7 and FS1r (using the FS1r voice edit buffer capabilities, but extending it to do DX7/DX7II Bulk dump files - including performances for DX7II), DX7/DX7II to SY77 and AN1x to EX5. :)

It was not that I was not allowed, but I could not get the necessary documentation (or at least to make it easier).

The format details are not public (at least not to me, if anyone knows, please let me know). I could probably do it manually but it would take an enormous amount of time (analyzing all parameters independently by differing files between DX7 and Kronos). And I have very limited free time anyway, so I can better spend it to other features for PCG Tools instead.

Hi Lorenz,
Sorry to be a pest. There were tow main folders (67.2 mb and 2,504 kb)
I really don't want to do a LOAD ALL onto my Oasys. Is there a way to download a few sounds at a time to audition them?
Thanks Frank
