Free DX7 Samples by Yamaha (plus CS80, DX1, DX5 and CS40M)

And agreed with Eumel, equivalent samples provided freely by Nord are very qualitative !

Wow, that's quite a list! Interesting that the samples were spread out 1 for every 4 notes in the original WAV files and some sounded like they were looped just to get to a certain length. Overall they're very useful even with the interpolation. For the DX7 Congos, I accidentally shifted all of the notes up a half step and didn't realize it until I imported it. Surprisingly, it actually sounded pretty good paired with another percussive sound, similar to how certain drums start out a little sharp when initially hit. I might keep a version of it in case it comes in handy. Take care.

Hi Cookie, What a nice work!
I would be very pleased to have the Brass (&horn) and the Bass samples.
How can i receive them?
Thanks!

It's really easy to make your own samples if you want to try it. After unzipping the sound you are interested in, you can drag all of the WAV files of the individual notes together into the Nord Sample Editor 4 and it will automatically assign the WAVs to the right keys. Depending on whether you want the samples to just decay or be looped (takes a little more time to get right), you could have your own sample within minutes. Good luck!

Thanks WannitBBBad,
The Brass files weren't in the dx7 zipfiles.
maybe in the dx5? I did not downloaded it.
I will look after it!

Based on the list, it looks like there are some with the DX5. With the wave files you have the benefit of listening to the sampled notes first to see if you'd like to make a sample or not. Take care.
