Dexed is a multi-platform, multi-format software synthesizer plugin closely modeled on the Yamaha DX7 FM synthesizer, built on the music-synthesizer-for-android engine and JUCE. It supports VST3, CLAP, and standalone formats and aims to be a companion tool for the original DX7 hardware.
Use cases
- emulate a Yamaha DX7 in a DAW
- play FM synthesis patches with a MIDI keyboard
- load and edit DX7 SysEx patches
- produce retro 80s FM synth sounds like electric pianos and basses
- run a free DX7 plugin as VST3 or CLAP
- use a DX7 emulator standalone without hardware
When to choose
- you want an accurate, free DX7 emulation in your DAW
- you need a multi-format plugin (VST3, CLAP, standalone) across Windows, macOS, and Linux
- you want to work with existing DX7 SysEx patch libraries
- you need microtuning (MTS-ESP) and accessible keyboard-driven operation
When to avoid
- you need synthesis beyond the DX7's capabilities, such as TX81Z-style waveforms (explicitly out of scope, requires a fork)
- you want analog/subtractive synthesis rather than FM
- you need a lightweight effect plugin rather than an instrument
