I believe that these days Dexed is the preferred environment for people who make presets that they're subsequently going to play on an actual DX7, it's that good.



> it's that good.

For what it's worth, being "that good" is relatively easy for a DX7 compared to other synthesizers since it's a purely digital design and the algorithms (in the software, not FM sense) are pretty straightforward. It's not like emulating, say, an Ensoniq SQ-80, where you have to emulate analog filters which always involves a level of compromise and approximation.


very smart and simple little machine. I recall thing on HN a while back - impressive stuff https://www.righto.com/2021/11/reverse-engineering-yamaha-dx...


I do this. I use Dexed as a patch editor for my DX7. It's fantastic. I wish I had editors this good for the rest of my synths!
