My recent project of converting Yamaha AfterTouch magazine goes well and 31 finished issues were uploaded here for everybody to download: http://www.yamahaforums.co.uk/index.php/userdownloads/category/22-aftertouch-magazine The biggest credit goes to Rawl, who besides the scanning does the main job of converting his and my scans to PDF (with OCR), and has arranged official agreement from Yamaha, and place on the server. I could do my scans thanks to the contribution from Mike (who also sent me most of DX7 II Supplemental Booklets - I plan the scanning them in the near future). Thanks also to Edgar for sending one missing issue. I'm still waiting the second shipment of magazines kindly contributed by another Daniel. After receiving it I can continue scanning if Doug who also promised to help us wouldn't find enough time for it. Only 13 issues were still not converted. I still haven't October 1988 issue. If anybody wants to sell or contribute, please contact me. We are also hoping we may perhaps get our hands on the follow-on issues of AfterTouch published by Tesladar Communications headed by AfterTouch founding editor Tom Darter. In the last issues of AfterTouch was announced the publishing will continue but annual payment for 12 issues was asked. If anybody of you knows anything about this or have some issues please contact me or Rawl (member of DX I'd also like to get the rest of DX7 II Supplemental Booklets which I still haven't: Quick Reference Guide Modifying Preset Voices Understanding Fractional Scalings Programming Fractional Scalings Memory Management Advanced Midi Applications As was announced in AfterTouch magazine, Yamaha published in the end of 80ies also QX3 Operations & Applications Supplemental Booklet. If somebody here would sell anything from these, contribute or just lend for scanning (I will pay for shipment in all cases), everybody can later get it as PDF. Thanks in advance for any help or info where to get it. Similar projects as these couldn't be successful without a great help from Yamaha fans & users community. Daniel Forro

I'm very happy to announce here that my project of digitizing of old Yamaha USA AfterTouch magazine was successfully finished and anybody who is interested in can download all 44 issues in PDF format from here:
Big thanks to all who were willing to participate for the good of our community:
- Raul Gelinas who did the crucial work of improving my scans, converting them to OCR PDF format and arranging everything necessary with Yamaha Forum UK
- Daniel Rheault (who sent also X-press magazines), Mike Schacht (who sent also Supplemental booklets) and Edgar Rodriguez - they all kindly donated their issues so I could almost complete the set and do scanning (in my collection is still one issue missing but fortunately Rawl has it so we could do conversion and PDF set is complete - it's October 1988 issue. If somebody has it and wants to donate or sell, or exchange for the other issue missing in his/her collection please let me know.)
- Clyde from Yamaha Forum UK who loaned his collection (in better shape than some of my issues so we could get the best results)
- Saul from Yamaha Forum UK who arranged official agreement with Yamaha to publish this material, and allowed to upload it to Yamaha Forum UK download page
Thanks also to Doug who was willing to help us with scanning but later couldn't do it due busy schedule.
Enjoy this material!
The next project is to publish Yamaha Canada X-press magazine (8 issues) and Yamaha DX Supplemental Booklets. I still haven't these:
Quick Reference Guide
Modifying Preset Voices
Understanding Fractional Scalings
Programming Fractional Scalings
Memory Management
Advanced Midi Applications
If somebody has them and will donate them, sell or just lend for scanning, let me please know.
Daniel Forro
P.S.: As for DX7 patch sheets in AfterTouch magazines I think I have found in my huge collection of DX sounds some SysEx (and some strange other format) files which include some if not all of them, probably somebody programmed them years ago. If there's an interest I can send these files as they are, maybe Martin can convert those strange formats to SysEx or MID. I didn't check them so I don't know if they are OK, and if they correspond fully to the patch sheets but it seems from the voice names it could be so.

I have just uploaded the final issue of AfterTouch that needed to be scanned and converted to PDF to the Yamaha UK Forum. These last 11 issues were provided courtesy of "Clyde" who is well known on the UK forum. Clyde kindly loaned me his collection allowing me to complete the scanning and PDF conversion for these missing last 11 issues.
There were 44 issues in total and all 44 are now available for download from the "AfterTouch Magazine" section of the "Yamaha Downloads" area here:
http://www.yamahaforums.co.uk/index.php/userdownloads/category/22-aftertouch-magazine
I will be working to attempt to record to FLAC the 4 Evatone (thin vinyl) audio discs that were included in four of the issues and donated to the effort also by Clyde! This will be "fun" as these were never very durable and are now quite old. If successful, I will be uploading the resultant audio and audio based patch files to the Yamaha UK Forum site as well.
My collaborator and the originator of this AfterTouch archive project Daniel Forró, has found 8 issues of a Yamaha Canada publication "X-Press" that we are converting to PDF and Daniel has many but not all of the DX7II "supplementals" published by Yamaha that we intend to convert to PDF as well. We need the rest to make a complete archive of those so please look at Daniel's previous posts regarding the "supplementals" to see which ones we need. I can provide an FTP area if you can scan images to TIFF for me to convert to PDF.So, enjoy this new (and yet rather antique) complete Archive of AfterTouch Magazine and I hope you find many voice patches and other interesting and helpful information buried in the archive of this unique publication originally available only to US purchasers of Yamaha equipment.
Thanks to Daniel Forró and Clyde A. (of Richmond, VA) for their assistance in making the completion of this project possible.
Rawl
