I was thinking it might have a slider in the editor to set a specific velocity level like the Volca FM does. The editor will have control over velocity depth and mid point. This should cover what you need. Panel control is a bit more limited. Most original DX7 patches have some velocity sensitivity by default. 1 Quote

These were the ones I thought were strongest from a larger set of my candidates for inclusion in the factory bank. They don’t have any velocity programmed at the moment. Sometimes we collaborate on sounds where I’ll submit some and another guy in the team will tweak them a bit. The added complexity is the presence of the VA controls - ideally I’d want all factory patches to have stuff programmed so that the panel controls always have an audible and useful effect on the patch. I could certainly do some finessing but I want to hear back if the others like them or not. There are one or two which, with a bit more work, could make convincing upright bass patches, and probably superior to those I programmed for the C4 that lots of folks love. If they don’t make it into the factory bank, I’ll share them anyway. Edited Monday at 13:57 by Quatschmacher 2 Quote

We had a DX7 at college and that was the patch I always tried to use. Nice warm string sound, which at the time didn't sound dated. Quote
BigRedX Posted Monday at 15:47 Posted Monday at 15:47 It's not listed on any of the various DX7 presets and cartridge sounds including those from 3rd party vendors so it's probably something someone at your college created. Quote

Public service announcement / humble pie consumption 🍰 I need to issue a correction before the synth police revoke my license. Earlier I confidently declared that “Warm Pad Fade” was my favourite Yamaha DX7 patch. Several of you (correctly, and with admirable restraint) pointed out that this patch does not exist on the DX7. You are 100% right. My brain has since rebooted, and the truth has emerged: I was thinking of the Roland D-10. That lush, nostalgic Warm Pad Fade lives firmly in Roland-land, not Yamaha-land. I have unfairly slandered the DX7 by giving it credit for something it never did, which is ironic because the DX7 usually gets blamed for things it did do. 6 Quote

Three Hail Stock Aitken and Watermans and one Dead or Alive. For penance you must now completely recreate all the DX7 sequences used exclusively to perform 'You Spin Me Round'. 2 1 Quote

mattpbass Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Starting to get very frustrated with the reliability of the editor, you can see why the plug and play of the MXR is winning even though I think the FI is probably the better pedal. I can install the editor no problem, it works as it should, no problems connecting to the pedal, uploaded and downloaded sounds, but once I've used it once it just won't open again. I can reinstall and it works again, but again only once and then that's it. Not endearing me at all. edit: hmmm, it's something to do with the midi adaptor, it also made reaper stop booting, but unplugged and restarted Windows both will open again... maybe i just need to figure out the mystery sequence I need to start programs and plug things in in!

Windows only allows a single instance of usb MIDI so that can cause issues. Can happen if you have chrome open too as it allows usb MIDI. 1 Quote

mattpbass Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Done a bit more fiddling, it seems if from a restart I open the editor first, then plug in the midi adapter, then the FI it seems happy. Fingers crossed it keeps working! Done some more playing (as in actual bass playing) and it really does work and sound great. 2 Quote

It used to be the case that you had plug in the interface before opening the editor. However we updated it so that the ports get scanned whenever you open the MIDI preferences menu. Glad you’re enjoying the pedal. 1 Quote
