Re: Hammond registrations as DX7 patches

[Paul Deveau <pdeveau@uottawa.ca>]

Hi:

I've tried everything to get that real sound out o' me old DX-7.  It's
just not possible (that's why I picked up the B and 122), or at least I
have not been pleased with the FM-type sounds. It does simulate a good
cheese organ, and the aftertouch adds to the melt. I've downloaded
thousands of sounds from Dave Benson's DX-7 page:
http://www.math.uga.edu/~djb/dx7.html and found a couple of quasi-decent
sounds. Perhaps layering the sound with another synth would enhance the
quality to make it a bit more real.

At Dave's web site, you can also scam some librarian software (for Mac
or PC) to add to the DX-7's limited on-board storage capacity.

Cheers!
