I already see the document before, but I'm still confused how to turn the arpeggiattor. anyways, thanks

It would be news to me that there's an arpeggiator in the E! board...? But then again I only have experience with a MK1 DX7 equipped with the E! board...

[bassplayer1980]

So, what you guys recommend me?? I also don't know what is the use of the floppy disk on the yamaha dx7 iifd. I really need the arpeggiator for my yamaha dx7.

Where did you read about that arpeggiator? Must be somewhere. I scanned my Grey Matter E! manual before, but there's nothing in it. But I'm also not sure whether that's just the DX7 MK1 manual for it or a generic one...

Otherwise, how about a MidiPal or something like that?

There is no "classic" arpeggiator in E! for DX7II. It has "Player" mode, which is crude form of auto-accompaniment/arranger. It plays back pre-programmed sequences (up to 8 tracks), which you can transpose (and sometimes switch between different patterns) using lowest octave on the keyboard. I haven't figured out how to program your own sequences yet, but it probably is covered somewhere in the manual My main use for E! is memory expansion, so I can have 4 standard DX banks at once

Is it possible to install E! on DX5?

[bassplayer1980]

Thanks!!! I already solder the battery and I didn't lost any patch. yeah, I have my 4 banks to store sounds. I turn the synth and I hear the volume low, then I wait and it started to raise. It is normal??? well, If E! don't have arpegiattor, what could I do?? Is there any midi arpegiattor for Dx7??? I really want to try it if it exist.


thanks!!!!

No, there is no arpegiator on any version of the DX7. You must use an external module that can send the arp through midi. The easiest way would be a software, or even a MicroKorg...

[bassplayer1980]

Ohh, I understand. Should I try the mutable instruments shruti 01 or midpal??? maybe an ARPIE???

[pflosi]

MidiPal

Then: "Local Midi off" on the DX7, put a cable from the DX midi out to the MidiPal, and back into the midi in of the DX

If you still want to use the DX keyboard that is.

Otherwise, yes of course software can do it even cheaper if you have the respective software already

Why not use the arp from your Command Station?

[Peopleunderthesun]

I've got the Supermax mod on mine and it does have an arpeggiator

[bassplayer1980]

Can I get the SUPERMAX for my dx7 iifd??? I hace a moog little phatty, can I use it for bass lines??? If I local midi off??

thanks!!!
