Hola,difinitivamente, a mi humilde forma de ver,el dexed es prácticamente, el vst que mas se parece a el teclado fisico yamaha DX7 . Ademas de estar diseñado para interactuar entre vst y teclado DX7 fisico... Con lo que respecta a arturia, es muy similar,solo que se le agregan mas efectos y otros tipos de ondas... Lo que le agrega cosas nuevas... En cuanto a emulacion ,creo que si la idea es repeoducir un sonido de un yamaha DX7 de los 80s con un vst, lo mas cercano a esto, para mi es el Dexed...saludos
I never thought I'd say my REAL DX7 is so much more realistic than something, but you just can't beat real. I suppose it might help greatly if you mic an amp of the virtual playing through it. direct VST's sound like dog shit.
Hey Congratulations! i followed all your steps and now i have a great preset, i would like to ask you if you know how could i add it a little more "punch" to the note execution. im not talking about this "click" you generate with the config of the "filter" section of the Prophet. if you hear the studio version, you can really hear the note execution with a really nice attack. im not close to that, i hear the tone very similar, but the notes are melting with each others. i hope my question is clear. To be honest, i dont think i would get this sound without your help with this video. Thanks!
The other difference between the two plugins is CPU impact. You can run 8 instances of DEXED for less impact than the Arturia DX7. I'll have to compare to OPS7 as well. Another small difference is that DEXED is available for Mac Windows, Linux and Raspberry PI. The filter on the Arturia is mono btw too.
Great job! Exactly the patch I was looking for :) Question though: were you using a physical keyboard with this? Asking because: I'm using Arturia KeyLab mkii 61 to drive ALab presets. Found that with the bass preset you used (from DX7): I have to hit physical keys pretty hard to get that zing on top. If not - zing is not there => does not sound like the original. Is this 1)my mkii overall velocity sensitivity? or 2)this specific preset's parameter? If #2: do you by chance know how to tweak it?
What interfaces do you recommend that are compatible with multiple outputs for Ableton? If you have an interface with 2 headphone outputs, is there a way to send the cue/metronome to both?
i have an Audient evo 8, i have 2 tracks and i want to separate them. I have the A track in out 1/2, and the B track in 3/4, but i still hear them both in both outpus, why is not separating them?
Problem solved 😇 I was confused with the faders, So Evo Mixer has output 1+2 (Master mix) down the fader of Mac 3+4 and Output 3+4(Artist mix) down the fader of Mac 1+2 then we'll have separate instrument out using EVO. Thank God 🙏🎶
Just Amazing ! I recreated it on my Arturia 5 and it sounded amazing (mine was a later version, but I adjusted for it and it sounded awesome). Thanks a lot ! Maybe you could share the preset directly ?
Best DX7 VST is without question OPS7 by Plogue. I compared several VSTs: FM8/Arturia DX7V/Dexed and OPS7 is the winner. Its sound generation and the way it reads original DX7 patches is the most accurate. With OPS7 you can also layer sounds, just like a DX7 mk2.
So I love this track way back in the year, well I was just entering high school and it was a while back. Anyway, back to the subject, this track. I am working on the singing the vocal stem track part as I think I want to throw some really skrillex style dustep. This one and "The Promise", by When In Rome or any Depeche Mode track. Really I believe with a modern touch, re-track the vocals or add another verse/hook/break something that really brings back the feel and words, melody but then drops it hard and flared out with today's atmosphere and sound manipulation which was seen as synthetic noise or lacking of substance, I believe this could be a really dope as F**k remixed track
Korg Opsix User here. As I just read in the Arturia manual, it has non-sine waveforms as well. This makes a difference, as it expands the possibilities significantly. Dexed, volca fm , megafm, reface dx, and digitone have sine only. Tx81z, Opsix and arturia dx7 have different numbers of waveforms.
Reface DX can do feedback apparently so it should be able to do saw waveform. I checked it on my Opsix and apparently the non-HD version of SAW is exactly the same as sine with 60 or 61% of feedback. Waveforms on analyzer look identical. Opsix can of course do more than that. You can also get saw on DX7... and without filters it doesn't matter that much. Opsix is definitely the best FM synth as it can do a lot more than other FM synths eg. proper substractive synthesis. Heck it does substractive synthesis better than most substractive synths :)
I downloaded the arturis demo. Unless you put the envelope type in ADSR mode not DX7 mode, there are no attack settings on the bass envelopes. So what are you talking about ? The RomA1 15-1 Bass1 patch sounds nothing like yours out of the box EDIT: i worked it out. Are you a mouse drag and drop keyboard player? The metalic slap bass timbre only cuts through if turn off velocity sensitivity to 0. Or midi keyboard set velocity curve to fixed volume with a bit of lift in the mod. Otherwise when playing it sounds nothing like it unless you smash the keys down really hard.
To my ear, the DEXED consistently sounded better. The Arturia was muffled by comparison. That may be partly because the volume was not matched and louder usually tickles our ear a bit better and the DEXED just sounded louder, tho that might have something to do with the more open high end of the DEXED. But to me the DEXED had a crisper, fuller sound while the Arturia honestly sounded a bit lame by comparison. If you are a sound designer and that is your main reason for getting one, there may be a slight argument for the Arturia, but if you just want to play the thousands of patches available for the instrument, to me DEXED wins hands down. And it's hard to beat free when it is this good. I have an original DX7 by the way, but use DEXED now because it's so easy to use and loading sounds is a no brainer. Did I say it just sounds great? I am not much of a sound designer, so I will leave that part of the argument to someone else.
If I understand it correctly there's also this thing that the Arturia DX7 is more sensitive to velocity so everything will sound more muffled unless you play it with higher velocities, in that regard the comparison was a bit unfair and as you're saying everything sounded muffled
man you have a really unique editing style I really hope to see you keep making content! I'd love to see more videos recreating synth patches too, I was sad to see there wasn't a huge back catalog on the channel for me to binge. keep up the awesome stuff :)
