MiniDexed is a frequency-modulation (FM) synthesizer emulating the Yamaha DX7, running up to eight tone generators like a TX816/TX802, on a bare-metal Raspberry Pi without an operating system. It supports MIDI, SysEx voice loading, effects like reverb and compression, and control via an optional display and rotary encoder.
Use cases
- turn a Raspberry Pi into a DX7 FM synthesizer
- run 8 DX7 tone generators like a TX816
- play DX7 SysEx voice banks on hardware
- build a bare-metal synth without an OS
- emulate classic FM synths with MIDI
- add reverb and compressor to a DIY synth
When to choose
- you want a hardware DX7-style FM synth from a Raspberry Pi
- you need multiple simultaneous FM tone generators with mixing
- you have DX7/TX816 SysEx patches you want to play on real hardware
When to avoid
- you need a software synth plugin inside a DAW
- you don't have a Raspberry Pi or MIDI hardware
- you want sample-based or wavetable synthesis rather than FM
