Dexed DX7 Software Emulator
===========================
Dexed is a multi platform, multiformat plugin synth that is closely modeled on the Yamaha DX7.
11 years ago
Under the hood, it uses [music-synthesizer-for-android](https://code.google.com/p/music-synthesizer-for-android)
for the synth engine and [JUCE](http://wwww.juce.com) as a plugin wrapper.
Dexed is licensed on the GPL v2. The msfa component (music synthesizer for android, see msfa in the source
folder) stays on the Apache 2.0 license to able to collaborate between projects.
Binary downloads
----------------
It is far from finish but for those who want to try the "music-synthesizer-for-android" project
11 years ago
on a PC/Mac, you can download it [here](http://le-son666.com/software/dexed).
Using has a DX7 editor
----------------------
This plugin can process original DX7 messages. If you change a parameter, it will send the
corresponding DX7 sysex to midi out. Not all DAW supports sysex; for example
Ableton Live simply discard any sysex data. Reaper does process midi out, but doesn't pass any
midi in sysex data to the plugin.
