I tried john melas librarian and the other tools, they are cool but I do most of the work on the MODX itself, when doing sound design. Most of the free stuff is what I already found I thought there was more to be honest, considering how widespread the motif family is. This also serves as a good jumping off point for exploring the unique capabilities of FM-X (take a DX7 sound and add more operators, explore the spectral skirt parameter, apply dual resonant filters, envelopes, effects).
Dx7 librarian Patch#
On the FM-X side of things, you can use Yamaha's FM Converter to load any patch file from the DX7, DX7II, TX802 and TX216/816. It also supports GigaStudio (GIG), AKAI (AKP), AIFF, WAV, MP3, WMA, FLAC and OGG Vorbis files. These provide a great jumping off point for diving into the MODX's programming capabilities (start layering sounds, applying dual resonant filters, envelopes, effects.). For example you can use the Waveform Editor to import SoundFonts, of which there are many free samples around the web. This is what you'll want if you're looking to pull in pre-recorded samples (versus Sample Robot which is for recording new samples from scratch).
Also included in the complete package is the Performance Editor which allows you to do all the actual patch programming on your computer.Īlso valuable is the separate Waveform Editor. The library editor you're looking for is the John Melas Total Librarian for Montage/MODX. Note that some of Yamaha's previous free material uses a proprietary compression algorithm that is not supported by the Montage/MODX. There's a thorough list here of both free and commercial patch libraries for all those synths.
