Dx7 patches for bass1/16/2024 As always, these samples have been sampled meticulously using high-end converters, several samples per octave, and multiple velocity layers where appropriate. For this library, I sampled the VOICE ROM 3 cartridge which contains 64 recreations of band and orchestral instruments. Throughout its life, the DX7 had several VOICE ROM cartridges released for it which gave users access to new sounds both from Yamaha and third-party sources. Pair this with velocity sensitivity and 16 voice polyphony and you can see that the DX7 made for one seriously capable performance synth. These made it possible to recreate lots of different acoustic instruments somewhat convincingly but also to create sonic tapestries and sound effects that had been unheard of at the time. The immense potential of FM synthesis stems from its complex algorithms defining how different oscillators can interact, while being very light on computing resources. Being the first affordable digital FM (frequency modulation) synthesizer, it quickly found its way into the arsenals of everyone from hobbyists to superstars alike. The DX7 is a synth of near unmatched significance to music history as it essentially defined the sound of music in the 1980s.
