Koshdukai's Slim 'PX7 200K Collection' V1b8

Beta 8 squashes all the various bank folder levels into just 1 level per folder mainly on " 7 from the Web " and on most on the "8 Instruments", which I'll be working on a bit more before the final release  of V1.0 of this ReFill. PX7 200K Collection (30102 Uniques) Koshdukai's Slim Version 1b8 ReFill I'm a bit worried with " Tim Garrett's TX7 " folder though, which is now all flattened as a  7789 patches  big folder. It's quite noticeable how Reason's browser takes its time to digest that folder before opening it, even packed inside a ReFill, which is kinda weird and not what I expected out of Reason 8.1's new browser... oh well :/ Still not sure if it's better now, without all of those bank folders with just a couple of patch files in there... guess I'll need feedback on this or else I'll keep doing how I think it's best :) Beta 7 zip download access will be removed soon, btw. 2022/06/19...

'PX7 200K Collection' shrinked to 30K uniques

When I first heard of the original  Korg Kronos oriented 'dx7_200k_collection' project  I thought that it would be interesting to try and purge it from all the inevitable duplicate Banks and Patches included. This happened a few weeks before the release of Propellerhead's own version, the  PX7-200k-Collection ReFill  for their  PX7 FM Synthesizer . After reaching a point where I already had all duplicate SysEx Bank files removed and was going through each bank sets, performing the conversion to .repatch format using the indispensable Propellerhead's  DX7-PX7 Patch Converter , I realized that the hardest part of this dups removal project was going to be the surprisingly high amount of cases that I had to decide which bank should be considered the "original" so I could remove all the corresponding duplicates from all the others. Well, once PH released their 200K ReFill version, I thought that it really wasn't worth my time...
