Summary
Dexed is a multi-platform, multi-format FM synthesizer plugin modeled closely on the Yamaha DX7, serving also as a MIDI cartridge librarian and manager for the DX7.
Features
- Available for OS X, Windows, and Linux with VST, AU, and LV2 plugin formats
- Music-synthesizer-for-android based sound engine emulating the original DX7 characteristics
- 144 DAW automatable DX7 parameters accessible from one panel
- Full support for DX7 input and output Sysex messages, including controller changes, allowing use as a patch editor and SysEx manager for native DX7/TX7 hardware
- Real-time VU meters for each operator to show activity
- Ability to load and save any DX7/TX7 SysEx programs and save single programs as individual SysEx files
- Cartridge manager feature for handling .syx files in a dedicated directory with drag-and-drop and context menu support
- Three configurable engine types: Modern, Mark I (closer to real DX7), and OPL Series (experimental 8-bit implementation)
