The DX7 will, however, respond to the full range of velocity values when sent from an outside MIDI source. Īdditionally, the maximum MIDI velocity value that the DX7 will transmit is 100 (of the 127 maximum value defined by the standard). This lack of marking was corrected by 1984. Very early DX7s manufactured in 1983 were distinctive for not having "MIDI Channel" inscribed next to the button that opens this function (button 8). The DX7 includes MIDI ports, but was released shortly before the specification was completed thus, its MIDI implementation is quite modest: It only transmits information on MIDI channel 1 it can receive information on any one of the sixteen MIDI channels at a time, but lacks the OMNI feature that enabled later DXs in the series to receive on all MIDI channels simultaneously. Several computer applications exist for various operating systems (Atari, Mac OS, and Windows) that can enable a user to load different presets into the keyboard from a computer via MIDI most computer based midi recording software can also load to or save from the DX7. ![]() ![]() Pre-programmed ROM cartridges could also be inserted here and the original DX7 shipped with two of these cartridges with two banks of 32 voices (sounds) each, for a total of 128 voices available. Voices can be programmed by a user, and stored into a 32-voice RAM internal memory, or corresponding 32-voice DX7 RAM cartridge inserted into a front panel access door/port. The DX7 features 32 algorithms, each being a different arrangement of its six sine wave Operators, allowing for a great deal of programming flexibility. While the instrument is monotimbral, the manner in which the sound of a single DX7 patch can change either subtly or wildly along the length of the keyboard or when played with different velocities can make it sound multitimbral. The DX7 is well-known for its electric piano, bells, and other "struck" and "plucked" sounds which emphasize complex attack transients. The DX7 was known for precision and flexibility of its bright, digital sounds, which were much clearer than those of the analog synthesizers that preceded it. Tone generation in the DX7 is based on linear frequency Modulation Synthesis (FM) based on research by John Chowning at Stanford University. Over 160,000 DX7s were made, and it remains one of the best-selling synthesizers of all time. The DX7 was the moderately priced model of the DX series of FM keyboards that included DX9, the smaller DX100, DX11, and DX21 and the larger DX1 and DX5. Its distinctive sound can be heard on many recordings, especially Pop music from the 1980s. It was the first commercially successful digital synthesizer. The Yamaha DX7 is an FM Digital Synthesizer manufactured by the Yamaha Corporation from 1983 to 1986.
