Here is a set of Peavey PC1600 patches which act as a front panel for the Yamaha DX7/TX802 and other Yamaha 6-Operator jobbies. The patches assume your TX802 is set to a basic channel 1. You will have to set your TX802 sysex channel to "1" or "all" (System Setup #4) to match this. I have a habit of using buttons for parameters where the range doesn't exceed about 8, thus saving a fader for more useful work. This means that some of the buttons work in multiples. For example four buttons are used to select the amplitude modulation sensitivity (AMS). The first button selects AMS 0 or 1, the second selects 2 or 3 etc. etc. Each fader/button is appropriately named. For buttons with toggle action the name hints at which function is accessed by string 1 and which by string 2. For example button 9 has the label "Scal Nrm/Frc", this button selects between Normal Scaling and Fractional Scaling (simple huh?) with string 1 calling Normal Scaling and string 2 calling Fractional Scaling. If the PC1600 display appends "=string2" to this button name you have just set the TX802 voice to Fractional Scaling. This means that you don't have to see the DX/TX panel to be confident of what you are doing, the PC1600 is telling the truth. If you are short of PC1600 memory with the TX802 patches, you may want to edit all the faders/buttons and remove the names which will save a bunch (in my experience a British Standard Bunch is approximately 250 units in the "memory free" display), but then you'll probably need to make up a card template to remind you where everything is. I will get round to putting some templates for printing out on my web site in due course (May 99?), so check that out (it'll be in the "synth" area of the site): http://www.gozen.demon.co.uk/godric/godric.html or http://www.kingston.ac.uk/~mu_s454/godric/godric.html If you want to turn an operator off, just set its volume to "0". There are nine patches: Op1 accesses all the parameters for operator 1. Op2 ditto for op2 Op3 ditto for op3 Op4 ditto for op4 Op5 ditto for op5 Op6 ditto for op6 LFO & PEG accesses the parameters common to all operators (mostly the LFO and Pitch Envelope Generator (PEG). Controllers accesses the controller modulation depths/destinations etc. Pitch Bend & Portamento accesses these parameters. It grieves me that I couldn't fit these four faders and one button in elsewhere - just as well the PC1600 allocates memory dynamically.
