Import Page

The Import page allows you to import original DX7 .syx files.

Import Folder

Allows you to specify a folder that contains the DX7 files that you want to import. Once a folder is specified, it is scanned for .syx files, including all subfolders. All files that are found are displayed in the tree structure on the right.

Set Only FM Oscillator

Allows you to import only the settings of the FM oscillator. All other zone settings remain unaffected. By default, this option is deactivated, to best match the sound of the DX7 keyboard.

Lock Velocity Scale

Allows you to prevent changes to the Velocity Scale Min and Velocity Scale Max settings during import.

Emulation Mode

You can choose from different emulation modes: HALion, FM-X, and DX7.

  • In HALion mode, the oscillator works with continuous values, for maximum precision.

  • FM-X emulates the characteristics of Yamaha’s Montage synthesizers.

  • DX7 emulates the characteristics of the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer.

Velocity Scale Min/Velocity Scale Max

Allow you to simulate the velocity range of the original DX7 keyboard. By default, Velocity Scale Min is set to 0, and Velocity Scale Max is set to 100.

  • To play the preset with the full velocity range, set the parameters to 0 and 127.

  • To invert the velocity, set Velocity Scale Min to the higher value and Velocity Scale Max to the lower value.

Note Shift

Allows you to shift the incoming MIDI notes by +/- 24 semitones on importing DX7 or TX81Z .syx files.

Result Tree

Lists the .syx files in the selected import folder. Click the plus sign on the left to show the programs contained in the file. Click a program to select it.

You can use the search filter at the top to show only programs whose names match the entered text. To remove the search text, click the Reset Filter button to the right of the text field.
