I gathered here in a zipped (*.zip) folder hundreds of DX7 soundbanks (sysex format only) that I gleaned through the years by surfing on the Net. He states this (quoted verbatim from the web page): The person who assembled the collection and who goes by the name “Bobby Blues” on the web site (OK, it actually might be his real name I suppose), is very up front about the possibility of the unwanted appropriation of someone’s intellectual property. Many of these banks were at one time commercial offerings. I very much suspect you will feel that you’ve reached a point of saturation long before you get through the entire collection.īut, there are some really great sounds here, even if it might take a little effort to track them down. So, let me suggest that a way to approach this dilemma is to take a few minutes every day to import just one or two of the 12,000+ SYSEX files, find a couple of presets you like, and save them in a Favorites folder, appropriately tagged if your instrument’s browser supports tagging. If a patch is called “TickleMyIvories” or “BlackAndWhite”, we are in needle-in-a-haystack territory.

So, how to find a good FM Rhodes sound, for example? If the patch name has “Rhodes” in it, you have a decent chance of success. So do you really need a collection of patches, the count of which may be a six-figure number? I suspect not.Įven worse, of course, is that none of these will be tagged, assuming your virtual FM synth has a browser that supports tagging in the first place. FM patches tend to fall into a modest number of predictable categories: FM pianos, bells, clavs, mallets, etc. Now, even with a measly thousand FM patches, you are probably going to rapidly realize that there’s a lot of duplication, even if none of the patches are precisely identical. Below are the directory names of the top level: Each of those files is a DX7 bank which may contain (and usually does contain) 32 patches.

In this zip file we have nearly 12,600 files that unzipped occupy a healthy 34 M of disk space. How many patches are in the file? I hesitate to even estimate, but here’s the lowdown. The collection is contained in the file DX7_AllTheWeb.zip, found here:

Boy, did I come across a whopper! No doubt, this is not the only collection of FM patches available for free download, but once I found it, I felt no incentive to look any further.
