32 patches by MGF Audio. Due to Dexed's DX-7 compatibility, you can also load these into your Yamaha or NI's FM8. Sounds range from bass, pads, leads and effects and aim for a modern touch.

I pulled this from my yamaha tx7 module via midi editor, it works perfectly in Dexed then it does in other software, dexed pretty much nails the sound. Here's on syx file of 32 presets in one file. Actually the factory sounds that came with my TX7 in 1984, I know because the guy I bought it from told me he didn't use this to modify sounds.

This is actually a very interesting emulation. I haven't really been impressed by FM8 as _an emulation_ of DX7s etc, but I can respect it as a good synth in it's own right. From this I actually hear a very DX7 sounding synth. I think brass patches sound very cool for example, in a way that can't really be made with other synth types. Well done.

And man is the interface pretty.

Jk, it looks ass, but charming in its own way :)

Outstanding DX7 emulation ! A masterwork !
Features to add :
- A "panic" button that kills all sound output as some sounds seem to be buggy and loop forever.
- An "init" button to start sounds from scratch, like there was one on the original DX7.

The "init" button has been added in the 0.7.0 version.

The sound loop bug is fixed; so, no need for "panic" button.

tnkdesbois: I hear ya. I think the "loop" you might talk about is when you play a patch and change patch while holding a key, then the old patch never receives a note off and keeps going, if I'm not mistaken. But your problem might be different.

And you can actually flip back to the old patch and hit the hang up key to make it stop. But yea, a bit confusing :)

I think for all the novices it should be helpful to make them aware that the original DX7 had only a velocity range up to 100. Todays MIDI standard is 127. This actually srews up the majority of all classic DX7 presets. Its like playing Piano with a slegde hammer. So please, before trying to explore those old DX7 presets make sure you adjust your masterkeyboard or software so your velocity will not exceed 100.

That's the difference between emulating a synth based on unpattentable, uncopyrightable mathematical formulas and emulating a synth based on proprietary, copyrighted waveforms.

However you made a point here : Only Korg turned it's old flagships into VSTs (see the legacy series). Yamaha could have done it with their brilliant DX but... Digital Suburban did (and they had 15 years or so between the invention of the VST norm and the release of Dexed to do so !), and having set it as an free open source project is even greater.

It's a shame that while Roland used to own cakewalk software that they didn't do - atleast for their in-house daw Sonar - a D50 VST emulation.

Anyway, I never tought I'm gonna get a plugin - and especially a free / open source one ! - coming so close (read = being the exact equivalent) to the almighty FM emperor the DX7 was !

Congrats, Pascal ! (Digital Suburban).

So I was working with dexed v8 a couple of hours and here is what I came up with:

much better, but still....
the six operator windows are still to cluttered. Increase the space between them and make more contrast to the background. Have background black for example.
Separate OP1-3 and OP4-6 with the lower parameters in the middle.That makes it more friendly.

when i work with FM I want to see all 16 algorythms to choose wichever I find appropriate. Dialing is distracting.
The way its on the DX7II is exactly how I like it. Yes it takes some space. But a great synth has a right for his space. Don't worry.

For me it was also always important to mute some operators, while working on the others. Best way for this would be to click and toggle on the operator in the algorythm grafic, which should change its color for on or off.
I also need to point out, that the DX7s had only a velcity range to 100. All this old original sounds have been designed under this.
Today all keyboards run up to the 127 real easy, which destroys the sounds many times. i used to use "velocitycurve" from Trombettworks to tame my keyboards. I suspect it would be a good idea to implement a "velocity tamer" in the app.
Another one: What happened to the Aftertouch ? No Aftertouch?...
Now sadly I myself never learned how to program, so I have no idea how much work my suggestion require. But I dare to mention all this because I have been working with the DX7s since it came out, you know when.

Fantastic plugin. Huge thanks to the developer, especially for version 0.8.0, amazing stuff. Hope he can find a way to commercialize it some day, I'd gladly pay average synth VST prices for this. Can't speak to how close it actually is to a real DX7, but it doesn't matter -- on its own it's a great, great synth.

Hi.

This plug-in is fantastic! Excellent sounding alternative to my dx7ii-fd when out of the studio, and for auditioning sounds.

I have a small request for the cart manager. Is it possible to display the name and location of the currently loaded SysEx file? I sometimes need to find out where I found a specific patch after I have closed and reopened the project, but the file-tree resets to the default location. If the "currently loaded cart" section displayed name and location it would be much easier to find the sound.

I apologize if this request has already been met, but I've had one hell of a time trying to find proper conversions of the famous "Lately Bass" & "Solid Bass" patches for Dexed. FM8 seems to convert them better, WAY BETTER. But I was under the impression Dexed performs maths more in line with what the original Yamaha units did. I've probably downloaded over a dozen factory SYX banks directly dumped off of DX100 & TX81Zs. I've converted all of them with DXconverter - which is a python script. Ive also converted them directly in FM8 - they sound tighter & more crisp for lack of a better term. When loaded in Dexed they sound flabby & Solid Bass sounds completely different... If someone can please point me to a 1:1 accurate Dexed compatible Lately Bass & Solid Bass patches I would be VERY grateful!!!.

feilertsen
feilertsen
23 September 2016 at 6:29am

If I'm not mistaken, the Solid Bass and Lately Bass are patches for the TX81z/Dx11. This synth uses 4 operators with multiple waveforms available for each operator. The dx7 however, which dexed is based on, uses 6 operators, all strictly sine waves.

FM8 has multiple waveforms so it is able to convert the patches. Dexed can not.

But there are a ton of bass patches for the dx7 out there which can be imported into Dexed, so you may be able to find an alternative..

Hello, .

When it is to talk about issues of a plugin, the best is not at all among the discussions in the product page like the present one, but to relate the issue in the forums. Many instruments even have dedicated threads and sometimes even dedicated forums. And for Dexed there is a dedicated thread (running since 2014, the last post published two days ago) where you are ABSOLUTELY sure to meet almost all the users involved in the tests, among them of course the developer of the plugin. For Dexed it is here.

Free FM Synthesizer Dexed (VST Windows and Mac)

Discussions in the product pages of the KVR database are to talk about very minor problems (where to find it when it is hard to find, etc.) or to give quick feedbacks on the personal use (deeper feedbacks with gift of a note from 1 to 10 are to write in the tab "Review" at the top of the product pages, like this one for Dexed). Discussions about technical issues, suggestions of improvements, etc. should always be written in the forums to be sure to be read by all the very engaged users of the product. So, to be sure to have real answers (advanced or deep answers, and even discussions with other users having met the same problem for example and having solved it), use the link to the thread to write your issue.

It's a really well done emulation of the DX-7 in every respect, amazing really, even the quantization noise is exactly like the original.

I'm getting a lot of stuck noted when using the AU in Logic Pro X, and am unable to clear them, even loading a new patch keeps the old patch playing. The only workaround I've found is to unload and reload the plugin.

I have really only had these issues when in the "CART" mode, auditioning sysex patches and banks.

Hello I report a problem with Dexed v 0.9.6 in Ableton Live 10.
If you select a preset in Dexed after recording a track at each opening of the project Ableton Live signals that there have been changes in the.

project even if nothing has been changed, I think that Dexed sends a program change message every time the project is opened, if you select.

the default preset and save the project, no changes are reported when the project is reopened.
The program change message should only be sent if it is automated by Ableton and not always.
