Hi Mark, Yes, I took a look and it seems they are not used. I think as a bit of backround here, the blueX7 uses the DX7 emulation instruments put together by Russell Pinkston and later modified by Jeff Harrington, Doug Walter, and Sylvain Marchand. I built the blueX7 basing its interface on the instrument editor found in JSynthLib, which supports the full DX7's features. However, the DX7 emulation instruments do not support the DX7's features like the freq coarse, fine, and the LFO. Strangely enough, looking at the blueX7 manual here: http://www.csounds.com/stevenyi/blue/usermanual/html/blueX7.html There's a note there for me. (!!!) "An important feature of the blueX7 is that it can import DX7 banks. A large collection can be found in the bigdx7.zip file within the dx72csound.zip file from: http://www.parnasse.com/dx72csnd.shtml. (to steven: reading this page it seems part of the model is unfinished, which may answer some of my questions above)" The page mentions: "Also, neither Dr. Pinkston nor myself ever finished these in terms of LFO or Pitch EG support. This is why many of the patches that change pitch will sound flat. I plan to work on this at some point, but now I'm having too much fun writing with them." I had implemented blueX7 probably 5 years ago so I've long forgotten there were things unfinished. Perhaps we should try to implement them. It'd be a matter of taking the DX7 Csound instruments and working with them outside of blue, then once that support is finished, bringing them back to blue and plugging in the values into the right places. steven On 9/9/07, Mark Van Peteghem <Mar...@te...> wrote: > When I experimented with BlueX7 today, I noticed that several settings > didn't have audible differences.
