Re: DX7 plays no sound....

Miguel,

  E-mail me at Narfman96 at yahoo dot com if you want the sysex for 
the DX7II setup. I couldn't find your address as it's private.
  I'm not sure you wan't just any system setup because it defines 
evrything from the CC controller id's to the patch change transmit 
buffer. All the midi channels for each voice group (A or B)and the 
transmit channel (I use ch. 1). Local on/off and sysex on/off are 
located in the setup file too. Be careful. It may be easier to set 
your synth for the way you use it with your gear and save that setup. 
Either way if you contact me I'll send you whatever you need...

Narfman  (I'm in all the Yamaha DX groups also.)
