    We'll....not billions...200,000 to be precise. ;)
    Thanks for this link.

    I'll add my usual advice for "boosting" old DX7 patches to make them sound better in FM8:

    1) Go to the <Easy> page and lift the Stereo Width - works magic!
    2) If possible, increase the output volume. Most old patches are too soft.
    3) Tweak velocity sensitivity on some operators - makes the patches more "live"
    4) Add reverb or delay etc - season to taste.

    I also often reduce the detune parameter as many patches sound far
    "tighter" when this is decreased. A slow chorus works a lot better on
    a pad patch than a hideous detune which renders the sound irritating
    and incompatible with other instruments.

    One more thing to note:
    When importing banks to FM8, look out for any patches which have
    "restricted" characters
    * (star)
    . (period)
    / (slash)

    If the patches contain any of these, they will be left out when importing.

    Any older users who have FM7 will be able to re-name these patches
    and re-save before importing into FM8.

    New FM8 users don't have any options that I'm aware of.

    Hope this is helpful....
