Is the FREE Dexed better than Arturia DX7? FM Synth Comparison - Dexed vs DX7 (V Collection 9) 

Really should have gain matched. Big oversight.

Dexed + TAL chorus is the best free thing you can get.

thanks for sharing this information

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.

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.

Awesome video. Under cart there is no ROM1A, ROM1B, ROM2A and ROM2B. Where can I find them? Thanks in advance!

Could you please do tal vs arturia video as well? Thank you

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.

The Arturia DX7 sounds so quiet and smooth like a filter was applied, not thus with Dexed, I think some different arrangement is causing this.

Where do you even download Dexed from?

Dire dire

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.

Dexed ★★★★ Arturia ★★★

There are the same thing.. But dexed interface is very confusing. Dexed win..

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.

😂😂😂 Your outta your mind bud.
