TRANSCRIPTIONS

“Step Into the Light” (Opolopo) low synth line transcription

Here is a fast, angular synth line I transcribed and put into multiple keys and instruments. It’s obviously not idiomatic for most instruments, but it could be a challenging technical etude for an advanced player.

• Concert pitch - original pitch (bass clef) - suitable for contrabass tuba

• Concert pitch - up a major 2nd (bass clef) - suitable for contrabass tuba

• Concert pitch - up a perfect 5th (bass clef) - suitable for bass trombone and F tuba

• Concert pitch - 8va (bass and tenor clef) - suitable for bassoon, euphonium, cello, and double bass

• Concert pitch - up a major 9th (bass and tenor clef) - suitable for bassoon, trombone with F attachment, euphonium, cello, and double bass

• Horn in F

• Violin

• Viola

• Treble clef to low F - suitable for all clarinets and lupophone

• Treble clef to low C# - suitable for bass and contrabass clarinets

“Light Velocity Ver.II” (Gran Turismo 4) flute solo transcription

Here is a transcription of the flute solo from “Light Velocity Ver.II”, a track by Isamu Ohira that plays in the Gran Turismo 4 Arcade Mode menus. As I’ve spent so many hours playing GT4 (possibly my favorite game of all time), this solo and the track around it is burned into my memory.

• Original pitch (treble clef) - suitable for flute and violin

• High treble clef (down to written A3) - suitable for all clarinets, all saxophones with low A, heckelphone, and lead trumpet or mellophone

• Middle treble clef (down to written F#3) - suitable for all clarinets, lupophone, B-flat trumpet, mellophone, baritone/euphonium T.C.

• Low treble clef (down to written E3) - suitable for all clarinets, horn in F, euphonium T.C.

• High bass clef (2 octaves below original) - suitable for bassoon, trombone with F attachment, euphonium, cello, double bass

• Middle bass clef (2 octaves+P4 below original) - suitable for bass trombone and F tuba

• Low bass clef (3 octaves below original) - suitable for tuba and cimbasso

• Viola

PATCH BANKS

If you’re familiar with the Yamaha DX7 and its free VST emulation called Dexed, you probably know that there is a massive library of DX7 sysex patches called the Dexed Cart available for free online. It is a monumental patch library, with literally thousands of patches collected from across the Web. And while that is a wonderful resource, about 99% of those patches are…not great, to put it nicely. There are also lots of duplicate patches, and in general it is a huge undertaking to try to wade into the Dexed Cart and find the good stuff.

Well, I’ve done the work for you! I went through the ENTIRE Dexed Cart and tried every single patch. I collected my favorites and organized them into 3 curated sysex banks, which can be loaded by any VST or hardware synthesizer that reads DX7 sysex. The banks are a mix of factory DX7 patches and third-party patches plundered from the Dexed Cart. They are sorted by patch type, and some patch names have been adjusted to match the others in the banks.

It is a complete, plug-and-play patch collection, and in my opinion it contains easily the best DX7 patches on the Internet. I have exclusively used these banks in Dexed ever since I made them, including on quite a few recording projects. They sound great, and demonstrate that the DX7 can still sound fresh and musical in the 21st century.

I call these banks the Finetales DX Collection, and they are yours to download for free here.
