diyelectromusic<p>I've updated my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/picoDexed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>picoDexed</span></a> to include a basic encoder/display UI and updated to the latest Pico SDK.</p><p>This is a port of Synth_Dexed to the Raspberry Pi PIco.</p><p>I also thought it was probably about time I actually documented the basic architecture :)</p><p><a href="https://diyelectromusic.com/2025/04/12/raspberry-pi-pico-synth_dexed-revisited/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">diyelectromusic.com/2025/04/12</span><span class="invisible">/raspberry-pi-pico-synth_dexed-revisited/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MIDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MIDI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SynthDIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SynthDIY</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DX7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DX7</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Synth_Dexed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Synth_Dexed</span></a></p>
Nielso<p>Like <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Dexed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dexed</span></a> for the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Yahama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yahama</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DX7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DX7</span></a>, <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/SQ8L" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SQ8L</span></a> claims to be <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/SysEx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysEx</span></a> compatible with the corresponding hardware <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/synthesizer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>synthesizer</span></a>, the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Ensoniq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ensoniq</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ESQ80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ESQ80</span></a> or <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ESQ1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ESQ1</span></a>. So this means you can load patches from your 80ties hardware synthesizer into the plugin and vice versa.</p><p>Sad story is that <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/UbuntuStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UbuntuStudio</span></a> 24.04 has lost Dexed for some reason, it comes with <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Hexter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexter</span></a> instead which – on my system – completely fails to show the GUI, so it's even worse than SQ-8L. (I'd love to get Dexed back, even though it looked very confusing, I loved the sound.)</p><p>These two are related, because the famous DX7 and the ESQ1/80 were new around the same time, both being very digital (the ESQ1 having analog filters, though). The ESQ1 never made it to the same fame as the DX7 did but both sound like the 80ties.</p>
psf / SoundBlasted<p>Current <a href="https://sonomu.club/tags/jamuary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jamuary</span></a> project: creating 31 <a href="https://sonomu.club/tags/DX7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DX7</span></a> patches (one per day). Cool twist: day 1 uses algorithm 1, day 2 uses algorithm 2, etc. These are on a Volca FM, so I haven't been posting live (I need to clean up each patch on my TX802 to ensure things like velocity sensitivity are dialed in correctly) but they'll all be up sooner or later.</p>
TOV<p>hexter is a Yamaha DX7 modeling software synthesizer for the DSSI Soft Synth Interface.</p><p>hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank files, edit those patches via a built-in editor or MIDI sys-ex messages (ALSA systems only), and recreate the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any previous open-source emulation.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/hexter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hexter</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/synthesizer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>synthesizer</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/dssi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dssi</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/dx7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dx7</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/yamahadx7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yamahadx7</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://github.com/smbolton/hexter" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/smbolton/hexter</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Stefan Bohacek<p>The Yamaha DX7 synth celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. It's quite an influential musical instrument.</p><p>In 1986, the DX7 synth preset "E. Piano 1" was "present on 39% of the Billboard Hot 100 number one hit singles, 40% of the country number one hit singles and a staggering 61% of R&amp;B hit singles".</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ApmgnKkqaI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=1ApmgnKkqa</span><span class="invisible">I</span></a></p><p>via <a href="https://www.musicradar.com/news/the-yamaha-dx7-was-the-most-important-release-in-synth-history" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">musicradar.com/news/the-yamaha</span><span class="invisible">-dx7-was-the-most-important-release-in-synth-history</span></a></p><p><a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/synth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>synth</span></a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/yamaha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yamaha</span></a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/dx7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dx7</span></a></p>
