Dexed DX7 Software Emulator

Dexed is a multi platform, multiformat plugin synth that is closely modeled on the Yamaha DX7. Under the hood, it uses music-synthesizer-for-android for the synth engine and JUCE 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 on a PC/Mac, you can download it here.

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.
