DX7II with Grey Matter questions

[Synthabator]

1. How the h**l do I play into my sequencer (MSQ700) different patches? They all are same sound. The E! Card should have provided multimberal. There has to be a way to turn it on if you will in the E card.

Oh golly. That seemed to confuse matters even more so. lol

Someone needs to write a ipad program that puts up a visual simplification of its features. Oh. Vey.

Ya, it's not user friendly. Welcome to the eighties

Especially so..

Yamaha crimes to sanity in the 80s include the QX1, RX5, TX16W... well, most things with an "X" weren't exactly case studies in accessibility, really..!

[madtheory]

Yes. They totally killed the TX16W with their OS. Then Typhoon came along, probably best sampler OS ever.

I remember reading somewhere that Yamaha "philosophers" felt that instruments were supposed to be hard to play. Ergo the "gift" of Yammy madness.
(Maybe put the E card in SE!quencer mode?)

I have yet to try "SE!quencer mode" as I assumed it was their onboard sequencer rather than out to an external sequencer. Maybe Ill try this. I have yet to get this working. I may annex the MSQ and just do Auria on an iPad.

So, reviving this, I like to explore all the possibilities and tools of a synth to compose, make new sounds and sequence. I have a DX7 FD II in my arsenal and I've been tempted to buy the Grey Matter kit, I like the idea of having a multitimbral DX7 and having an internal sequencer. The questions are: is it difficult to install? does it work ok or am I just going to mess up my DX7?

BTW, not too long ago I installed the SE firmware to my Emax I and I thought it was amazing, it gave new life to my sampler
