Audio examples
8Z Pro is a truly high end sound library made using PX7 — the first Reason emulator of the DX7.
With 8Z Pro, you are getting the world’s largest sorted DX7 library, no copies, no corridors of midi sysex confusion, and you’re also getting all of the DX11 / TX81Z sounds professionally converted to the 6 OP DX7 synthesis with the use of Python programming. You are also getting all of the Bitley TX81Z banks “SequenceMe” and “RaveDeTekno” and we added a large sample library for layering sounds in a flamboyant SY99 style.
In addition, and here’s the way beyond coolest thing; it also includes a large set of Yamaha TX816 emulations and this is possible due to the fact that Reason uses so little CPU power; the TX816 patches are therefore fully polyphonic and playable.
TX816 factory patches were recreated from Yamaha’s hand written notes about those ultra large Scritti Politti / Oh Patti type electric pianos and almost real life brass sounds etc. To our knowledge this is the only decent TX816 emulation ever done.
If you are a proud truly curious PX7 owner, this is a must have.
The amazing TX-816 redesign digitally using Combinator and PX7, only for those who appreciate classic FM history, things like Scritti Politti and deep FM synthesis.
8 layer deep DX7 patches was the new scaringly Synclavier like possibility in 1986 with the introduction of the TF modules and the TF module container, which came as the TX-216 and the TX-816 maxed out with 8 16-voice modules all controllable from a DX1, DX5 or DX7. How did it sound? That is the keeper. Synthesizers have seldom been as expensive and magical sounding. Ever.
