Dexed Free FM Synth Plugin
Dexed, a highly versatile multi-platform, multi-format plugin synth that is closely modeled on the Yamaha DX7. It uses music-synthesizer-for-android for the synth engine. It is also a midi cartridge librarian/manager for the DX7. Dexed is available for free in AU and VST formats for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Sound engine with ‘float’ value parameters, different waveform à la TX81z would be great but anything that goes beyond the DX7 should and will be a fork of this project.
