Members wheresgrant3 Posted December 17, 2005 Members Share Posted December 17, 2005 Arrrgh!!! I've had my EX7 since July and I've probably played it a total of 10-15 hours. It has some amazinging beautiful patches... some great effects... I am just clueless where to start programing this beast. The Tritons seem a bit more intutive, yet I'm still having problems navigating the factory patches on the EX7 without spinning the data wheel. Just some observations and question on this beast.... #1- I don't care what anyone says about factory patches... the EX7 has some of the best I've ever heard. Dream Grand is probably the best piano pad I've ever heard on a synth, and Analog bros, Dreamer and Stevie's Sync are by far the best leads I've heard. I got some extra milage out of Godin's Suite on the EX5Tech site.... however I'm confused why some patch banks come up as "Silence" #2 Also confused why I get a message on many Performance patches" DSP Resources full Too Many insuff EF" Man I need a manual bad!

IIRC it's like this: The EX-5 has two blocks of DSP... one for Rev/Cho/Ins and the other one switchable between Ins/Ins/Ins, FDSPx16, AN/AN, AN/FDSPx8, and VL... so, four inserts total if you're using only sample playback, or otherwise one insert with some combination of modeling for the other DSP. The EX-7 has only one block of DSP, which can switch between Rev/Cho/Ins, Rev/Cho/AN, and Rev/Cho/FDSPx8. So, if a patch uses FDSP or AN and also wants to use an insert effect, you're out of luck on the EX-7. Kiru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tucktronix Posted December 17, 2005 Members Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hey Grant, Despite Kiru's comparison to the EX5, the EX7 is still one killer synth. There some other leads you may want to check out, like Rottersclub and CompuTech. I played a gig last Thursday with former P-Funk member, Andre Foxxe, used PulseBass 1 for the bass lines to "Flashlight" and "One Nation". Using the ribbon controller, I was coming up with synth bass slides with an incredible likeness to Bernie Worrell's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
