EXi: MOD-7 Waveshaping VPM Synthesizer
5. In the Drive Select parameter, select the media from
step 2, above.
6. Select the DX7 .SYX file.
7. Press the LOAD button.
A dialog box will appear, allowing you to select a bank into
which to load the sounds. Since DX7 banks contain 32
sounds, while a KRONOS bank contains 128, you can also
select where to place the DX7 sounds within the KRONOS
bank: into Programs 0-31, 32-63, 64-95, or 96-127.
8. Select the bank and Program range into which to load
the sounds.
Important: If you select an HD-1 bank, it will be changed to
an EXi bank, and all of the bank's HD-1 Programs will be
erased.
9. Press OK to load the sounds.
The sounds will be loaded into the KRONOS as MOD-7
Programs.
Loading multiple banks of DX7 sounds
If you like, you can load multiple .SYX files at once. To do
so:
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 under "Loading a single
bank of DX7 sounds," above.
2. Enable the Multiple Select check-box.
3. Select the desired DX7 .SYX files.
4. Press the LOAD button.
An "Are you sure?" dialog will appear.
5. Press OK.
6. For each .SYX file, select the bank and Program
range to load into.
For more information, see steps 8 and 9 under "Loading a
single bank of DX7 sounds," above.
Error messages
If the KRONOS can't read the file, it will show one of two
error messages:
There is no readable data will appear if the file is shorter
than 4104 bytes, or if the SysEx header indicates something
other than DX7 Program Bank format.
File contains unsupported data will appear if the header is
correct, but the data is damaged; for instance, if the file's
checksum doesn't match, or if the trailing F7 is missing.
Velocity response
Converted sounds will respond to MIDI velocity in the same
way as did the original instruments. In other words, if you
play both the original and converted sounds from an external
MIDI controller, they should sound the same.
However, the local keyboards on some of the original DX
instruments were not capable of producing very high
velocities; instead, they might max out around 105 or so.
The KRONOS's keyboard, on the other hand, can produce
velocities over the full MIDI range, up to 127.
This means that some sounds may be brighter when played
from the KRONOS's keyboard, as compared to the original
instrument's keyboard. If you like, you can use the
348
Brightness Vel. Sens. parameter to reduce the velocity
sensitivity to taste. For more information, see "Brightness
Vel. Sens." on page 366.
