Bob, can you send me your syx dx7 patches? I am unable to PM you. I am a new member. If you are unable to obtain my email address, is it possible to send it to you another way? Thanks in advance. :-)

I am happy to send you the whole lot of them (close to 20,000, I think), BUT it is a big unwise thing to do to post one's phone or email on any public forum, such as this.
 
The key to your being able to send and receive Private Messages (and to post links in thread posts), is to get your posting count up above certain levels.
 
Just go through maybe the Coffee House and find some threads with banter you might want to join in on, and put out about 25 posts or so in various threads, and somewhere along in there is the threshold for when the forum software will start to allow you to send and receive private messages.  Out of respect for the folks and for their threads, please do post meaningful content to threads you find - there are some pretty long running and often funny threads there, as well as serious discussion and such - check it out.
 
So, once you DO get to where you CAN, please then shoot me a private message with your contact information, and I will send you a series of emails with attached zipped folders to get the whole set of them to you.  Instructions for what to do with them and where to put them will be included in the emails, as I regularly send folks these libraries.
 
SO - happy to help you, sorry I don't recall what that threshold IS, but I believe it is certainly less than 50 - so I would try after maybe 25 posts, or even 15-20, and if that doesn't work, get yourself up to 50, which I would believe would certainly be a high enough post count.

I still have my DX7IIFD. Jeff Evans is 100% correct. The Native Instructions FM8 sounds exactly the same.

You can use Dropbox for this: https://www.dropbox.com/
 
Put subfolder in your public folder, put the DX files there, copy the address then put that address here.  After he DLs it delete the subfolder.  I use this technique when exchanging large files with other musicians. 

The one thing I noticed about FM8 is I can't get the patches from DX7 to sound as lush in it.

This is a nice "newish" DX7 clone some might not have heard about:

Thanks for this.  I didn't expect much for a free synth, but I really like it.  Haven't done much more than play with the presets, but can see myself putting it to good use.
 

Bob, I received the collection of files you have sent. Thanks for your patience with me in ironing out the email situation of which I was at fault . I am looking forward to unzipping all these treasures. Ttyl :-)

Bob is da man!

Thanks, Bob! I got it as well. Went to my spam box for some reason :D

I must say, this is an excellent collection. It should keep me busy for decades to come! Thanks Bob!
