Hey Domu,

I guess the main incompatibility may be the SSG-Envelopes and Amplitude Modulation (AM). So if you load Sega Genesis / Mega Drive patches to your DX100, there may be differences with some instruments. SSG is a rather exotic feature though which is more useful for pads and fx, not widely used with most of the bread & butter sounds.

Anyway, here's how you get those sounds on your DX100:

- use VGM2PRE to rip sounds in vgm-format
- convert the vgm-files to opm-files with VGM2OPM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M17lsycp7Ds)
- convert the opm-files to sysex using DXconvert
- now you can load the syx-files to your DX100 with any midi-dumping software

I only tested this with my DX7, but it should work with a DX100 as well.

Unless you decide to use those non-sine waveform operators which dont exist on the dx7.

On a side note, it shouldn't  be a problem to use 4 op voices on a 6op synth, you just disable 2 of them.

On the how tho.. I can't help you wink

The synth is more compatible with the Yamaha TX81Z(4op vs 6op). You are probably better off trying to load one of the 200k+ Dx7 patches for it:

Hey thanks, but I wanted to import instruments I created with VGM Music Maker and Deflemask over the years. I don't really need any more DX7 patches smile

Like the title said, I'm looking for a way to import a bunch of YM2612 instruments to my Yamaha DX7. Is there any way to accomplish this?
