and even smashed! Because it was in my opinion very important to sort first by author: the best way to retrieve the uniqueness. It means that the previous collections (almost all were only compilations of files which are already elsewhere) have been totally split up. Each time it was possible, I sorted by author. yes, it makes of course a new one!) has at least the advantage to be almost entirely sorted. And at last this first real version 1.0 come out now. A first preliminary version came out in September. a titanesque task! It began in August 2014. And several smaller websites here and there, all providing sysex files as freewaresĪll that became a merry jumble (a total of 8,736 sysex files of all sizes and with several extension names!) where I had to find what was with what, who made what, who transformed what, who copied what to create a collection without mentioning the original authors, what was a correct new version of what, what was a failed new version of what, what works and what doesn't work, what is well named and what is badly named, what is a complete collection and what is an incomplete collection, where are the missing files if I had them by chance elsewhere. The Bobby Blues website (one of the most interesting ever)
To make my own collection, that you have under your eyes, I have took: I have hunted them with the strongest severity. Here you will find no dupes of sysex themselves. Each one contains already tons and tons and tons of dupes files, yes. The same for the Dave Benson's collection, for the Bobby Blues "All the web" collection, for the AcidBoxBlues collection, for the Synthzone collection, etc. Many of them are even unusable because with errors or absent checksums or bad CRC, etc. and many of them are even present because of conversions with different applications so with slight different results in the headers or the footers or their checksums. Close to four thousands of the files in that 200K collection are in fact duplicate sysex files in many sub-collections. it appears that finally it contains less than 2,000 really different sysex files. There is even a compilation which gathers not less than 200,000 patches in 5,917 sysex files! But when comes the time to clean that huge collection. due to an incredible amount of duplicate files that they contain. But all the compilations I have found are absolutely insane. There is already a crowd of compilations of sysex files for the Yamaha DX7 and its famous family. You can get many informations about the features of these synths (and their respective differences) here: Dexed_cart version 1.0 by BlackWinny, 4 (YYYY/MM/DD)Īll these sysex files are (or should be) compatible with Dexed, FM8, and any emulation (software or hardware) of a synth of the 6-OP family of the Yamaha stuff which was produced featuring the FM synthesis with 6 operators.
