The Yamaha DX7 Setup Guide

The DX7 is notoriously frustrating for beginners because of its multi-step SysEx activation. The default state is "Memory Protect: ON" and MIDI Channel 1 is not always active. If you want to backup presets, fix memory protect write errors, and use Web MIDI, follow these physical hardware steps.

Hardware Setup Steps

Step 1: Press FUNCTION, then press button 8.
Step 2: Press button 8 repeatedly until the screen reads MIDI CH = 1.
Step 3: Press FUNCTION, then press button 11.
Step 4: Press 11 repeatedly until the screen reads SYS INFO IR. Change this to SYS INFO AV (Available) using the YES key.
Step 5: Press INTERNAL, then press MEMORY PROTECT (button 14).
Step 6: Press 14 again to switch the screen from ON to OFF using the NO key.

Now that your hardware is configured, connect your MIDI cables and backup your DX7 patches directly to the cloud.
