DexedInst

DexedInst is based on the popular Dexed VST3 Plugin that accurately simulates the legendary Yamaha DX7 synthesizer.

Parameters

Dexed (and the DX7) comprises over 100 parameters. Currently we don't expose them here and rather rely on presets to configure the instrument.

Controller a connection point for controllers like Player, Euclid, etc.

Cartridge the filename of a DX7 cartridge file (.syx files). When empty we use the built-in cartridge from the Dexed VST3 plugin. You can find DX7 cartridge on the internet, for example, here. You can even develop your own custom cartridges using the Dexed VST3 Plugin in standalone mode. Each .syx file contains 32 presets and so you can quickly expand this instrument's range by downloading more cartridges.

Preset selects from one of 32 presets within the current cartridge.

Verbose when checked outputs the name of the selected preset to the log.

Gain a multiplier for the instruments volume.

Instances signals to Fiddle you'd like multiple instances to be automatically connected to the upstream controller. Since DexedInst is a polyphonic instrument this should usually remain set to 1.

The Example

Here we automate changes to the 32 built-in instrument presets.
