Axiom's GX7 - DX7 to G2 Conversion Tool
Now this is pretty cool. Luca Capozzi created a tool that lets you upload any DX7 sysex bank into your Clavia G2 Modular. The tool comes with the original DX7 ROM1a bank. Title link takes you there.
Introduction
How many times you have desired to convert your old Yamaha DX7 sounds to your new Clavia Nord Modular G2? Clavia gave us a good starting point, including FM Operators and a DX Router as modules. Each parameter is here, ready to be tweaked to achive our beloved DX sounds. But how tedious is tweak all those parameters manually? People starts asking for a tool that helps G2 users to load Yamaha patches into their new G2 synthesizer but, until now, nothing was created. This tool let you load any Yamaha DX7 SysEx bank and let you send patch parameters as Midi CC# to your G2 synthesizer. There are some limitations that don’t let us to send all parameters at once. DX7 parameters are over 150 while G2 usable Midi CC are less then 120. The workaround is to send parameters one Operator per time, doing some hand work on your G2 Editor.
