Thank you for this demo. You helped some of us making the decision. Should we buy or not. Not for me. Thank you. $400 for spectrasonic keyscape and maybe $800 for a decent new or used laptop will be a much better choice for some of us. Can't say exactly what it is, but something doesn't sound right in VIVO SX7. Yamaha CP88 and spectrasonic keyscape are the closest to the real thing in my opinion. Good luck anyway.

Ho letto che sei un estimatore di dexibell, e da varie demo online mi sono lasciato affascinare anche io. Una domanda: sl88 come si comporta con questo expander? Le dita “scorrono” piacevolmente?

Dear Marco. I find LOTS of cool content on this channel. Could you tell if there is possibility of controlling effects' parameters like drive amount, delay time or other FX parameters with some CC messages on external midi controller? Or the only way is menu-diving in SX7 sound module itself? P. S. i also like Kansas! :) 1974-1977 best years for me

thanks for your comment! I do not have the Expander at the moment, but I guess you can do almost everything with an external midi controller... (I'm not a "midi man", as you can understand from my main vintage setup :-)))) ). maybe you can find an answer from the midi chart? www.dexibell.com/dexibell/documents/MIDI_IMPLEMENTATION/S7_S3_Midi_Implementation_Ver_1.02.pdf and: www.dexibell.com/dexibell/documents/MIDI_IMPLEMENTATION/S7pro_S3pro_Midi_Implementation_Chart_Ver_1.02.pdf

@@marcoballa I don't know what you mean as Expander. Anyway, I had read these files. There are some controls listed there, but there are only these few universal ones, for virtually every digital keyboard.

Marcoballa. I am interested in this product. But after going through your online manual, I’m still none the wiser so I hope you can answer a few questions I have. The idea is to operate the SX7 from a midi keyboard controller only. Program changes mainly. The YT videos posted only shows operation from the unit itself. Can program change, volume change etc... be made from the midi controller? Can the midi controller control program changes that are saved internally in numerical order from SX7? Does the sustain pedal have to be from the SX7 or from the controller? When layering, Does midi channel 2 have to be routed to midi channel 1? And does the effect the fx routing? This is not detailed in the manual. Appreciate hearing back from you. Thanks.
@marcoballa5 жыл бұрын
ciao! thanks for comment. I'm just a "home-musician" (not the product manufacturer) and I just can try to answer to some of your questions. Yes, you can change program from the midi controller (I used a SL73). Yes, the sustain pedal can be from the midi controller. In layer you control (for example) both piano and strings from channel 1 (or 2, or whatever). Each sound has his own effect. :-)
@essjay29105 жыл бұрын
marcoballa. Thanks. It is mainly for playing live but without having to have the module on top. The other module I use is no longer in production, and have long been looking for a suitable upgrade. Hence the questions. Even though I think the price is high for only a module, it is the best I’ve heard til now. Last question. For the sound editing. For example, tuning, velocity curve, string resonance, tone character etc... is that only for the whole sound or can each note be modified individually? A bit like the Roland ‘piano designer’ via its Bluetooth app.

Sorry before I forget. Can the sustain pedal be reversed in polarity f used from a midi controller?
@marcoballa5 жыл бұрын
concerning the sustain pedal, I don't remember (I do not have the unit at home now), but for sure you can find something on the manual (in any case, on most controllers there is the option for that). please note that the unit has the "half-pedal" capability, so it's always better to use a continuous pedal, not a "on-off" switch, in order to take advantage of the great sound dynamics. sound editing is (as I can remember) for each piano sound, for the whole sound.

Hi Marco, got a question on the size for loading samples. Is the 1.5 GB memory available in extra to the preset 80 sounds or it's just 1.5GB in total? Also how much size for an approximate platinum sample? Thanks!
@marcoballa5 жыл бұрын
According to what I remember (I do not own the module any more) if you want to load a big Platinum one, you have to make free space on the unit (it is simple: just unload all the useless sounds - guitar, bells, whatever... -. You can always re-load all sounds any moment you want). My configuration on that unit was: - japan platinum - factory upright - factory CP80 - factory rhodes - factory wurly - some factory strings - a couple of additional synth samples (from their website) Nothing else
