Does anyone know of any songs from the 80's where they used string patches from a dx 7 mk1 or mk2?

I always recognize yamahas bells, basses, electric piano, xylophones etc... but its hard to know which synth the strings come from.

Cool thats good to know. Because i really love playing in split mode and the dx7 can always handle the bass fine. but sometimes the strings are quite tinny and thin. I really like the string sounds in Heart - "These dreams" and fleetwood mac "little lies" I want to try and recreate some of these bes...

Thanks Alex

I always use a keyboard amps with extra chorus and reverb too to add to it. I would really like to make some good string patches in split mode as I like to play bass with it at same time.

Hi guys just want to know if the dx7 II FD is capable of getting some good warm analog type string sounds. I have only played on the mk1 and cant find any good examples on youtube. Just want to know from your own experiences. I was thinking of getting an sy77 however the sy is so heavy and bulky and...

I have just ordered from http://www.syntaur.com/ts_sounds.html their synthesaurus collection, Although would love some dx7 sounds too. Thanks people. And if anyone can help me play the demo songs that...

Wow that sucks hehe does anyone wanna send me some of their floppy disks with patches and Ill pay you over paypal? Im really after the dx7 patches and any analog 80's type sounds i can get my hands on for it. I have downloaded them from a ts10/12 fan site. You can send via post to Vegas. If interest...

Ahhhhhh okay thanks for that much appreciated. Can i ask which floppies do i need to buy? Are they even available? In the manual it just says to use a double sided standard floppy disk so am very confused. Am i better off using a site like this an ordering on of theirs? http://www.syntaur.com/ts_sou...

Hi Guys, Recently got a TS12, just wanted some help if possible from fellow synthheads out there who have one of these amazing machines. I have the user guide documents but they read like a japanese vcr instruction manual lol. Im trying to put on new patches. From what i understand, I can just buy a...

Okay after hours of reasearching and youtube videos and reviews I went with the ENSONIQ TS12. 500 with shipping and perfect condition, and the floppy works. So i can load on analog sounds and dx7 sounds. Only bad thing is its a pain to program because lack of buttons and simple screen. Oh and it doe...

Oh and I forgot the Ensoniq TS12. theres a few of these babies on ebay for under 500.

Hmmmmm no sy99's for sale at the moment. I will just have to be patient. Theres only one on ebay and the guy mods it all and charges $999. what a ripp off. I just want a stock one for around $500. Not one that glows different colours and has aftermarket mods lol. Anyone has a SY99 and wants to sell ...

Hi Guys, Thanks everyone so much for your massive input I think i might do what balma suggested and get an ex5. It has digital and analog capabilities, sequencer, 76 keys (which i really want) and all the other stuff. Im working with a small budget of up to $600 and these ex series synths seem to be...

if anyone who owns one of these yamahas can tell me what there experience was with creating juno and jupiter sounds on these that would be great.

oops meant to say sequencer! my bad

Hi Guys. Just want to know if there are any other Yamaha sy77 and sy99 users out there as Im thinking of getting one and need advice.
