I am considering controlling either a TX7 or one or more (eventually) TF1 Tone
Modules from a computer. I have several questions about both
approaches.
o Can a person purchase JUST the manual for the TX7 (I note that the
DX7 manual may be purchased on its own)?
o I note that the TF1 modules normally plug into a rack (the kx-818?)
and have MIDI in/through and audio outputs. However, there also
appears to be card edge connectors which normally connect to an
internal bus in the kx-818(?). Since there is a MIDI out on the
kx-818, I assume that each TF1 can dump its programming data through
this internal bus and then out the common output? Can anyone tell me
briefly what sorts of signals/information flows over that bus between
multiple modules? Is documentation available on it?
I have written to Yamaha with these questions, but thought a query on the net
might dredge up information that would be of help. Also, if any of you are
currently using a computer/TX7 or computer/TF1 combination, I would be
interested in your comments about ease of integration and control.
