Yamaha W5 & W7 Voices

Unread post by Saul »

Came across this on an old hard drive and it appears to be a set of sound banks for the Yamaha W7/W5

The contents of the file are as follows:

BEST_OF.A1V
BEST&ALL.A1A
INTVOICE.A1V
KEYS-B&W.A1V
SFX&PURC.A1V
STRINGED.A1V

If someone with a W5 or W7 can confirm these work it would be much appreciated.

I did a quick test with STRINGED.A1V and it seems to work. Didn't check exactly which voices were loaded, but there was no error while reading the disk.

My parents are staying with us and I don't have time or space to do a better test now. Will do it in a week or so, then I'll report back.

Thanks for sharing the files!

Can someone do a SYSEX dump? My floppy drive doesn't work. And there is no computer with support for a floppy drive, especially in the old 720 formats.

and... maybe someone has a dump of additional banks presets from the second version of the firmware?
