Digital Suburban DEXED

If you do something like Synthwave or another vintage genre you HAVE to use this synth! It's free, sounds wonderuful vintage and you can load original Yamaha DX7 Patches.

Dexed can read DX7 patches, sounds quite like a DX7, is way easier to program than a DX7 and is completely free of charge. I'd happily pay 10€, if only they could make the GUI a bit better...

What more can you say about the matter? It's killer.

DEXED simulates the mighty Yamaha DX7 FM synthesizers of my youth. I still have one. Basically this thing is 98% a real DX7 sound but what you lose in sound quality DEXED makes up for with ease of programmability. While maintining the vintage Yamaha look in their GUI, Digital Suburban have incorporated the best virtual-knob and graphical controls from various popular DX7 midi-patch-creation freeware. This is much easier to program than your DX7, can load up actual DX7 saved patches and is just a joy to screw around with. I still use my DX7 when I want to grunge up an FM sound through a guitar amp or something, but if I want crisp, DI Yamaha sounds I go for DEXED.

FM experience is nice! The plug-in has a clean and neat interface

this vst is amazing. A little tricky at first to those new to FM synthesis, but sounds so close to the original dx7 its insane. All of this for free. There's no reason you shouldn't have this vst.

I use Dexed and the Roland UM-ONE USB MIDI Interface as a librarian for my Yamaha DX7. Loading patches to the DX7 is quick and easy, and programming the DX7 is much easier from Dexed. The one downside of Dexed is that notes will stick when using the DX7 as a MIDI controller.

i dont want to waste monney on a real dx7 when you can have one for free!

I JUST got this VST, so I don't really know what I should rate it...

Well sounds like a Dx7, minus the 'DAC juice'.. To me, is a downside. At least is better than FM8.
