Digital Suburban is the name under which developer Pascal Gauthier releases Dexed, a free, open-source FM synthesizer plugin closely modeled on the Yamaha DX7. Built with the JUCE framework and using Google's music-synthesizer-for-android code for its synthesis engine, Dexed is distributed as a VST, VST3, Audio Unit, CLAP plugin, and standalone application for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Dexed is designed as a tool and companion for the original DX7 hardware rather than a reimagined FM synth — it loads DX7/TX7 SysEx cartridges, exposes the six-operator FM architecture in an editable interface, and communicates with vintage hardware over MIDI for patch editing. The project is licensed under GPL v3, with the underlying synth engine carrying an Apache 2.0 license, and has spawned community forks such as MiniDexed for Raspberry Pi.

Released in 2014 and maintained on GitHub, Dexed has become a staple freeware FM instrument in bedroom and professional studio setups, frequently recommended alongside paid DX-style plugins for producers looking to recreate classic 1980s FM tones.

Digital Suburban has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Synth Plugins. Their gear is featured by 4 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Hip Hop, and Rock. Notable users include Four Tet, Flying Lotus, and Barely alive.
