Never Act Like U Know All
Im having a hard time finding a tx802 for the price i wanna pay.

But the tx7 is identical for the most part. The tx7 is mono.

Can you use to of these at the same time say i dunno out to in or thru to in so when you send data from say sounddiver, it is sending the identical sysex sg to both and use one for a left input and other for a right input to a mixer?

Yes but to hear stereo you need different info on the L and R sides.
Wouldn't using a single TX7 and putting it through a splitter be the same?
Or just running a single TX7 into a channel and panning it center? Either way you'd still have the same end result wouldn't you?

Another option would be to take a single TX7, plugging it into a mono in/stereo out effects unit and using those L & R outputs.

I sold 2 TX7's last year, and I used to have a DX7, DX7S and used the TX816 for a few years (at the time that it came out). They are complex machines... I don't think anyone's every really heard what they are capable of. Good luck programming it - best to tweak or just use existing sounds.

One side note: when they brought out the later DX7's (DX7S, DXllFD, TX802 etc) they used a better quality LSI chip and all the original DX7 sounds are much better (clearer, less gritty) than the original DX7/TX7/TX816 models, although they have the same basic DX7 sound.

So if you can spare the room, I'd much rather have one of those later ones.

The TX802 uses the same LSI chip as the DX-7IIFD. Perhaps you're thinking of the TX816? That definitely used the same chip as the original DX-7.

Ooops!
Yes, you're right, the one I worked with was the TX816, which sounded like the original DX7.

I edited my earlier post to correct the wrong info.

Thanks!
