Hello Sounddigger,
yah you´re right in some things....
But do you know, if the "DX-engine" is the same as in FM7?
I don´t own FM8 - I´m using FM7 for years, cos I´ve never updated.
The FM7 always fits my needs - for my own DX-sounds and the
good factorypatches of the FM7 itself....
So, if there are differences between a TX802/816 and a DX7, there
must be differences in the software too.
I don´t know....
For me, the "Atmo5" sounds very similar in FM7 as in the Dexed....
in Dexed to 80% - this "Yelling" is too quiet....
I have a very old song, I´ve used that sound and can compare to this.
But ok, we wont be too fussy...
For the "SynthX" - you may be right....
This patch sounds different in the DX7 as in the FM7 and far away
from that in Dexed....
Here´s a little example:
SynthX - Dexed:

SynthX - FM7:

I´ve tried to fiddle in Dexed, to get the same result, but had to surrender....
Equal if "velocity", "Feedback" and some other parameters, i can´t get the
result like in FM7 or just the DX7....
"SynthX" in the DX7 sounds more silky, more like....mmmh Do you remember
that soundtrack from the movie "Das Boot", by Klaus Doldinger?
At the end of the "melody" there is that huge, majestic synthsound....
"SynthX" sounds similar, but a little more brighter - in the DX7...
and without this "Feedback" sizzle noise....but with more digital clearness.
But ok, we wont be holier than the pope....
The "OPL"-mode in Dexed - there was some Yamaha soundcards
with FM - this seems to be the emulation....
Cos of this thread and re-working with my collection, I´m thinking
to buy a DX7 again....
The DX seems to be cheap on Ebay these times and why not....
BTW it has a very good keyboard with nice aftertouch/dynamic and
it seems, i can patch these kind of sounds, more on the original
as in my FM7 or Dexed - thats funny, crazy....
It´s 25 years ago and so much happened....
i´m curious which kind of sounds, I will explore out of the DX7 nowadays....
