Hello Mr Sounddigger,
Ha, I might have been blind or I didn´t recognised it, as I´ve been poking around
the "DEXED"-thread - I´ve tried the MKI-mode on DEXED now.
Yes, some patches come closer now, but it doesn´t sounds the same.
For example, this "Indian-yelling (so called by me)" effect on this "Atmo5" patch
is there, but very quiet.
You´re right, it needs some fiddling with the velocity.
But some sounds - for best example - "SynthX" are really different.
On this patch it lacks this special "digital shine" on C3 downwards.
You can´t hear anything on the DEXED, but when playing this patch
on FM7 or FM8, you can hear that effect strong.
But ok, as you´ve said, DEXED might be a emulation more on the TX802,
than DX7, but I don´t know of the differences between the DX synthesizers
themselves in their special engines.
I´ve read in the KVR-DEXED-thread, there are some big differences in the
"Breakpoint-section" - this may the cause of some varieties in sound too.
Tim Conrady was a good designer, but IMO also the "Aminet", "SteveSims",
"Narfman" or "BoTomlyn" banks are worth trying out....
Yah, more instances with detuning and the sound is getting huge and
surely comes closer to that legendary instruments.
I have compared some other banks of my collection with DEXED
(in the MKI-mode) now.
Ahh - on some patches it lacks furthermore some slightly effects too -
but those makes the character of these sounds sometimes.....
but not even all - only some patches
The most patches sounds much closer than before - so the MKI-mode makes it....
I think, DEXED is a good replacement for the DX7 (for those who doesn´t own the NI-synths), otherwise the FM7 or FM8 (my statement - i stick to it)
might be the successor.
The DX7 sounds have this special character - nowadays too....
So I´ve played a "Grand Piano" sound of mine, for example (with some Reverb)
and yeah, it sounds awesome - as I´ve said - that could be a (but not too expensive)
multisample....
Think, it would be worth for everyone to look into DEXED for programming.
DEXED has a "open" interface and that makes it easier for patching....
