At the bottom left of the interface, you’ll see the name of the currently loaded patch, which is ‘1. Load Dexed up in your DAW, and you’ll be presented with the synth’s interface. Dexed, which is available for free in AU and VST formats for Windows, macOS and Linux.In this Weekend Workshop we’ll cover the basics of FM synthesis and take a look at how to get your hands on those classic DX7 presets. What’s more, it’s capable of loading DX7 patches, making it a fantastic free source of classic tones.

The only thing that may take its place is a Yamaha Montage - but that's an expensive proposition and I don't see me doing it in the near future. Īs a result, the DX-7 is still alive and well in my studio. Each one of the instruments has its own palette of colors and they blend so well. It is a blast! Here's a later piece I put together, primarily P-12 (both melodies), Pro-2, DX-7 and P-08. However, don't take this as saying the P-12 is an inferior instrument. I shouldn't be having to do work arounds for such a basic FM operation.
However, the two sines should be able to put out those high frequency sidebands. So, it may be possible to get the sidebands going that direction. I haven't tried it with the more complex waves. Granted, I was only using sines on the P-12 for modulation. The P-12 was simply not capable of producing those sidebands. What gives the DX the real sparkle is the sidebands it creates in the 6k hz + range. What was especially disappointing was lack of high frequency sidebands when modulating the P-12 oscillators together. Thus, three or four complex oscillators could theoretically mimic a six operator FM system. So, potentially an oscillator on the P-12 can do double duty since it can create a complex wave on its own near the modulated sound of the two sines on the DX. Two sines modulated together would create a complex wave and often the wave for a "musical" sound was near a saw or square wave. In the DX, each operator was a sine wave. So, it cannot set up a six operator patch. On the P-12, there are four operators (oscillators + Envelope) at most. One set made the basic main sound, the second was the higher harmonics of the main sound (and would provide the "growl" when played harder), and the third was the percussive hammer part of the sound. On the DX, for the tines sound, the six operators would be set up into three sets of two. You can to some degree, but the true DX7-FM setup cannot be replicated.
