    Hi I have a, dx7 with the supermax... How do I remove it
    I have the 3 original chips...... Where do they go?

      Hi,
      The original chips go right below where the SuperMax board is installed, Actually, it hooks to one of the sockets where one of these three chips was. You'll those sockets at 0:50 in the video (not a direct view of the sockets though)
      I haven't got the synth with me for quite a long time now, so I don't even remember the name/number of those chips
      but I do believe that the names of the chips are also in the sockets where they fit (don't quote me on this)
      Also remember reinstalling the silver metal reinforcement once you've removed the SuperMax board, at least when I did it I couldn't put it back once I got the SMB installed, so now you're going back to original settings you should be able to do it.
      I hope this helps you

    Probablemente perdiste las patches al cambiar la pila, para recuperarlos podes hacerlo vía SysEx conectando tu DX21 vía midi a una PC en la cual tenes que tener un programa para hacer esto, hay varios gratis en Internet yo creo que use el SysEx library. una vez conectado vía midiendo tenes que se te armo el dx21 en modo recibir y desde el programa de la PC le das a play y ahí debieras transferir todos los bancos. Espero haya sido de ayuda

    Uuu muy buen video , recien adquiri un dx7 este comenzo a calentarse en la parte serca donde se colocan los cards , sabes que tengo que cambiarle ?? Y para q es el supermax que cambiaste ??

      Hola,
      Que bueno que tenes tu DX7
      No se mucho respecto del calentamiento en la zona de los cartridges solo que ahi esta la fuente/transformador del synthe
      En cuanto a la placa SuperMax es excelente, basicamente lo que hace es expandir la memoria del DX7 de 32 hasta 512 locaciones para asignar sonidos. Una de las cosas que podes hacer con estas nuevas locaciones es descargar los sonidos de los cartridges asi no tenes que cambiarlos cada vez que queres algun sonido en particular, podes tenerlos todos a tu disposicion como los paches originales.
      Aca estan las caracteristicas de la placa SuperMax
      MEMORY EXTENSION: 512 Memory locations for sounds and functions.
      ARPEGIATOR: very sophisticate
      DELAY
      SOUND STACK: 3 multitimbral stacking modes (8x2, 5x3 or 4x4) with VOLUME, COARSE TUNE and FINE TUNE settings on each voice.
      SOUND CREATOR: a powerful and effective way to create your own sounds on DX7
      ROLLING MODE: allows using up to 4 sounds per patch
      VELOCITY CROSS-SWITCH: allows switching from one sound to other by velocity.
      TEMPERAMENT: can be set on each key on the keyboard
      Es una excelente opcion, y como muestro en el video se instala sin necesidad de soldaduras
      Saludos

    Saludos, amigo. Tengo un Yamaha DX-21 y al cambiar la pila o batería de 3Volt. dejó de sonar, solo tiene un sonido y no es como original. Cómo puedo restablecer la memoria o el banco de patches borrados o restablecerlo a sonidos de fábrica o añadir patches nuevos? Dios le bendiga.

    Hola Gustavo. Yo sé cómo cargar los diferentes ROM cartridges en el DX7. Lo que no sé es cómo cargar sonidos específicos, no bancos enteros. Por ejemplo: Tener al mismo tiempo el Brass 3 del ROM 1A y el E. Organ 2 del ROM 1B. Te agradeceré mucho la información!

      Hola Victor,
      Mas vale tarde que nunca?
      Tal vez ya hayas resuelto tu duda
      Si te entiendo bien, para hacer eso no lo podes hacer directo en el teclado, tenes que preparar tu "coleccion de sonidos" en un Editor de Libreria como por ejemplo DX Manager, eso lo haces en una compu y armas el banco de 32 sonidos que vos quieras y descargas todo ese banco
      No me acuerdo si se podia hacer de otro modo
      Nuevamente disculpas por la demora, nunca me llego el aviso de tu pregunta o se me paso y recien hoy me llego una nueva pregunta y encontre la tuya

    Does this upgrade make the keyboard 🎹 multitembral?

    • @GusClerici
      @GusClerici  4 года назад

      I didn't try out multitimbral features while I had it, but one of the features says 3 independently assignable MIDI keyboard zones. So I assume it should be 3 part multitimbral
      No sure though

    • @monsterjazzlicks
      @monsterjazzlicks 10 лет назад +1

      Gustavo Clerici Yes it would be great to hear something please.
      You did not place the long silver metal strip back in the video! Does the DX7 not need it or does it not fit anymore once the SUPERMAX has been installed?
      Great video, ta.

    • @GusClerici
      @GusClerici  10 лет назад +1

      monsterjazzlicks That's correct, once SuperMAX is placed you can't put back that metal part. I'm not sure what is it for (I believe that worked as sort of reinforce since these things were build like a tank) but it's working great without it. No bend on the chassis nor other issues.

    • @monsterjazzlicks
      @monsterjazzlicks 10 лет назад +1

      Gustavo Clerici Great man. Thanks for confirming. I just emailed the guy (in France I think it is) who makes the SUPERMAX.

    • @GusClerici
      @GusClerici  10 лет назад +1

      monsterjazzlicks yes they're are from France and they have a SperMAX board published on ebay if you are looking for one.This board brings your DX7 closer to XXI Century LOL

    will this work on a tx7 aswell?

    • @GusClerici
      @GusClerici  7 лет назад

      David lundgren, not sure since I've never seen a TX7 from inside but if the main board is the same as in DX7 I assume it may work

    would have been great to have a verbal walkthrough of the installation process instead of this annoying and pointless nu funk beat, but whatever.

      @@GusClerici I promise I wouldn't! I actually could use some more detailed guidance if you have any. I've seen a lot of people online talking about how you have to remove the keyboard to get the supermax board in place, but it doesn't seem like you did that. I'd like to avoid taking out the keyboard if possible. Can you elaborate a bit on that?

    • @GusClerici
      @GusClerici  4 года назад +1

      I did this long ago and I don't have the DX7 with me anymore
      But I had to remove the keyboard (check 1:24) the board is too close to the keyboard so you have to remove it but the whole process is pretty straightforward. The only surprise was that I had to remove the reinforced metal piece that you can see apart in 2:24 and the expansion took some room so I couldn't put it back
