    the Yamaha cartridges(ie. woodwind,brass,piano), please reply here.

    Are you looking for Yamaha *brand* carts?  There are dozens of
    mail-order houses who sell third-party carts with patches for the
    DX-11, just check out the current issues of KEYBOARD or ELECTRONIC
    MUSICIAN (assuming you're in the US).

2308.2Carts or sounds?CSG002::ROACHFri Apr 06 1990 20:285
Are you looking for sounds or cartridges to hold them in. There are a few 
hundred public domain DX100/TX81z/DX11 sounds floating around that you can get 
for free (or close.

 
2308.3How about info on public domainFIXSR1::WHITTINGTONDisassembly requiredTue Apr 17 1990 19:553
    In ref to 2308.2 How does one get or find these public domain cartr.? I
    am looking for sounds on cartr.
    Thanks 
2308.4sounds and carts are separate issuesCSG001::ROACHTeenage Mutant Ninja MarketeersFri Apr 20 1990 03:329
If you can find empty cartridges, I have a few hundred sounds on a disk you 
could load onto the cartridges and save. While that sounds easy, we would have 
to hook up your synth to my pc to do that. Or any PC with a system exclusive 
utility and a midi interface. If the DX11 has cassette interface, I could dump 
them to a cassette from my TX81z. 

Just an idea.

    I do have a cassette interface with the DX11. I have'nt used it yet,
    but I would be willing to give it a shot. Lets talk on this. Do you
    want me to send you a cassette first or last?  I am at DTN 385-2948, or
    outside 404-772-2948. Thanks I feel I am getting closer.

    re: .-all
    
    I am interested in getting sounds. I have tried the DX-11 cassette
    interface, and it was so painful, I called Computerware and bought
    the editor librarian (Opcode). Glad I did.
    
    I think .4 said they had a disk.... can it be copied (since this is
    Public Domain stuff) and mailed, or (perhaps better) uploaded to DEC
    central, and then I can fetch it, or even e-mail the file to me
    (perhaps methinks we need a commanal upload/download here -- I have a
    MAC which uses Stuffit)... I'm flexible. 
    
    If it requires sending me a cassette which I then turn into Opcode
    disk files, which are then uploaded for others to enjoy.... well,
    I can do that. Of course I'll obey the DEC rules, too.
    
    Moderator -- if this suggestion is too out-of-policy, delete this
    note, and I'll send e-mail to the party directly, and work through
    the US Post. Thanks.

    OK, I'm guilty of false info....I checked a January 1989 KEYBOARD
    directory of patches for the DX-11 in particular and 4-op FM machines
    in general and found NO listings for stuff on carts.  I also looked
    through ads for blank carts and found NO carts for Yamaha machines!!
    Not even from Yamaha....
    
    Sounds like tape is the only solution if you have no PC.

2308.8The patches are already uploaded.CSG002::ROACHTeenage Mutant Ninja MarketeersThu Apr 26 1990 22:249
Out on DYO780::... Midilib someplace - referred to in other notes - are some
ARC'ed TX81Z patches - I think it was something like 27 banks of 32 each.
Dounload them to your favorite PC and use an UN-ARCing program to separate
them. You would then need some way to shove the SYS-ex dump to the DX11. 

I think I used enough acronyms in the previous paragraph
