Hi
I have a PSS680 cost me £12 off ebay about 3 years back was a right
mess but works,the drum pads weren't though even after cleaning so I
removed them and cobbled together a tin foil ended mini match box to
trigger them in the meantime,I have never got round to fixing it
properly although with the pen that charlie suggested I could fix them
properly now.
Anyway I'm sure there are samples of the drum sounds out there on web
and as the 680 has decent midi easy to sync/trigger from your DAW

Post by charlie midi gfaheres my advice at this moment ,
make a mixed kit out of a tr606
and yamaha rx11
the cymbals and snare from the yamaha
mixed with the kick of the 606
mess about the a.d.s.r to match the pss
its about the closest thing i can think of ,

Hi Lee,
Yes, apologies for double posting. I'm still new to this game. :)
Anyway, I was hoping someone had sampled the drums and percussion off a 680
and would be willing to share them with me but no one has responded to my
request. I was planning on just uploading the samples into Ultrabeat in
Logic and creating a drum kit using them.
Don't worry about sampling your 780. I don't mind purchasing a 680 for its
presets as well. Thanks for the offer though!
Best,
Benjamin

Not sure what you are up to -as it is quite possible to sample
the 680

He is correct - the drums are ROM based PCM - pulse code modulated
- that

sampling

have the

Unless anyone has uploaded them they won't exist -if get time I

Hi Lee,
Thank you for the links and further explanation on SysEx
compatibility
Post by Lee Borrellbetween the PSS680 and DX100.
I guess what I'm really after is samples of the PSS680 drums and
percussion. Any chance you know where to locate those?
Thank you!
Best,
Benjamin
From my own research into the PSS models - the 480 and 580 are
the same

There are some sysx files on the 2nd link - I am working on an

Post by Lee Borrell(1st link).
The ROM sounds can be transferred to the RAM banks of the PSS -
merely
Post by Lee Borrellby selecting the sound and then storing to one of the 5 banks -
this
Post by Lee Borrellwill then transfer to any backup system via SYSx dump.
The drum sounds are of course ROM and have no SYSx file
(although the
Post by Lee Borrelldrum pattern does). As Martin says - the DX100 is 4 op and the
PSS 2
Post by Lee Borrellop - so without any sort of conversion you cannot take sounds
from the
Post by Lee Borrell680 and put them in the DX100.
http://templarseries.atspace.com/dx100.html
There are some SYSx dumps of DX100 above. I can't speak for the
differences between 680/780 and 480/580 - although I suspect the
voice

Post by benjaminanonHi,
I currently own a DX100 but love the presets, particularly,
the drums
Post by Lee BorrellPost by benjaminanonand
percussion from the Yamaha PSS-680 and was wondering if anyone
had
Post by Lee BorrellPost by benjaminanonSysEx
files of the PSS-680 factory presets?
Are these the PSS480 factory presets, or is this another set ?
And are the PSS680 presets different from the PSS480 and PSS580 ?
http://members.multimania.co.uk/templarseries/files/PSS480.zip
These are totally different synth engines. 2-operator FN (PSS) vs
4-operator FM (DX100). But TXconvert has experimental PSS->DX100
conversion support. Never had the chance to do proper empiric
research
Post by Lee Borrellfor
that. Just mapped some parameters from one dataformat to
another, based

information from the SysEx specs in the manuals.
I just tried it and discovered PSS support is currently broken.
Will be
