Dexed is very faithful Yamaha DX7 emulation. It also functions as a midi cartridge librarian/manager for the DX7. It’s also FREE. Which is always a bonus.

The Dexed Best Thing

Dexed has seen a number of improvements over the years from its developers, Digital Suburban. Most notably, the UI, which has gone from bargain basement to high-end plugin. One of the things that Dexed has in its favor, even over some paid DX7 clones, is that it’s so easy to use. There are 32 sound banks that each contain 32 preset patches. Crystal Patches 2: read more / download: 128Presets Format - Fxb: This is part two of our Crystal VST custom preset collection. Anotherbank of 128 presets for Crytal, again designed by GeoSuPhat.

One of the reasons I’m such a plugin-head is that I love to have the option to play with tonnes of different synths and effects without having to rent a warehouse to store them all! I’ll avoid the divisive conversation about software vs. hardware. Let’s just say that software is awesome, regardless of whether it’s ‘as good’ as hardware… or whatever. 😉

Dexed allows us to have a classic Yamaha DX7 in our laptops. It can sound pretty sterile at first, but add some saturation, reverb, delay etc… and it really begins to come alive.

You don’t even need to know how to program a DX7 if you don’t want to. There’s literally THOUSANDS of ready made presets you can load up and get playing right away. There’s links to two collections at the end of this article. Feel free to share more in the comments!

Check out the Audio Plugin Guy vid above, where we create something special with just three instances of Dexed and a kick, plus some fancy processing.

  • The sound engine music-synthesizer-for-android is closely modeled on the original DX7 characteristics
  • 144 DAW automatable DX7 parameters available from one single panel
  • Fully supports DX7 input and output Sysex messages; including controller change. This means that you can use this with a native DX7/TX7 as a patch editor and sysex manager

Cartridge Manager

Any .syx file in the Cartridges directory will be available from the 'CART' window. Find this directory by using the 'CART' button and then the 'SHOW DIR' button.

You can drag and drop any DX7 program from what is loaded in dexed and/or what you have loaded in the cartridge browser.

Double-clicking on a program will load the currently selected program in the plugin.

Use the context (right-click) menu to send the program/cartridge the DX7 or open your OS file browser from the directory context.

Hint: BlackWinny from kvraudio did a great DX7 compilation named Dexed_cart_1.0.zip. Simply unzip the content of this zipfile to your Cartridges directory.

Engine Type

Vst

Dexed Vst Free Patch Banks 2020

Dexed can be configured to use some of the original math limitation of a DX synthesizer. This does notonly apply to the DAC, it also involves the bit resolution of the sine waves and the way that the amplitude is applied to each operator. Since all of this is experimental, multiple engines will be available to be able to compare them easily.

Dexed Vst Patches

Dexed comes with 3 engine types :

  • Modern : this is the original 24-bit music-synthesizer-for-android implementation.
  • Mark I : Based on the OPL Series but at a higher resolution (LUT are 10-bits). The target of this engine is to be closest to the real DX7.
  • OPL Series : this is an experimental implementation of the reversed engineered OPL family chips. 8-bit. Keep in mind that the envelopes stills needs tuning.
