That's a cool site.

 

Has anyone used the midi controller on that site?

 

Also thoughts on the Super Max expansion would be great. I have the DX7IIFD.


 

It's hard to know how much more money you put into these old boards. Time is
fine. Money is more limited.

Here is some version info:

No, it doesn't, it just goes through the tests, but no ROM version number.

All I know is that the chip has the markings YAMAHA TG11461, YA3128, C86-3L1
(that is, I assume, IC 14 is the ROM).

But as I now know that the behaviour is not really a defect in my machine,
but more a sign that it is (mostly) in its original state, I don't see a
reason to change that. I don't need to dump from DX7, and even if, I now
know a few workarounds. 

Except for, of course, if there are any reasons for me, if there is
something a newer firmware does better, which is actually important for me.
I'm not aware of anything right now.

Cheer, Florian

Does Function+16+32 tell you the ROM version? If it's an old one then I
agree with an updated ROM. I wouldn't add a complex expansion until things
are well understood in the vanilla unit.

Good luck! Replacing the ROM chip with something newer (either stock 1.8 or
the french superMax board on ebay) sounds like the way to go.

So, I was barking up the wrong tree, the DX7 was not (well...) to blame, it
worked exactly to spec. Great to know.
