Description

1.2.3


A port of Dexed, a FM Synthesizer. Features over 20,000 Cartridges with 32 patches each. Comes with AudioUnit AUv3 plugin for use inside AUM and other DAW apps like GarageBand. Get a camera kit and plug in a midi controller through USB, or get a 5-PIN DIN 1/in 1/out, to: USB and use the camera kit through USB MIDI Spec, NOTE: some devices handle SysEx differently and therefore we cannot promise support for SysEx, so invest in connectors and cables wisely. If you have questions involving making MIDI-USB work the best for your situation, email support. This iOS app was designed especially with small interfaces in mind. Example: an iPhone 5S or a resizable window inside AUM. If one clicks the menu eye, a feature LOCK SCROLL can be –very– important to set knobs, sliders, et cetera: if screen size is limited. LOCK PARAMs in the eye menu locks the parameters for scrolling without knocking loose the preset. In the CARTs menu double tap a cartridge to load a series of patches, the files will have a .syx extension. To use MIDI CC, in the menu eye you must first turn on MIDI CC. When MIDI CC is on it makes the tap events react like a right mouse button click. NOTE: MIDI CC, in eye menu, doesn't have to be on after CC controls are mapped. MIDI CC touch modifier will also turn off after you have successfully mapped a CC control, or when you delete the current mappings. You can turn it on again later to turn off mappings or create new CC mappings. I would suggest setting CC knobs in the bottom section of the screen – above keyboard (if visible). Currently you must save patch in DAW – for instance: GarageBand or AUM. Once we can determine unity and saving/loading between the AUv3 plugin and the StandAlone app, external save will be eventually developed. There is a pathway set to transfer .syx files through iTunes to the StandAlone app, only. Other plans include fixing pixelated images, a quick zoom to set CC mode and updating GUI to a higher degree, make sure midi CC knobs update.

Very interesting but needs work

Very interesting synth with lots of presets but the interface needs a lot of work on the basics. Initially, interface worked but now not well enough to make it worth playing. In particular, getting keyboard to show became impossible. At first was impossible to remove keyboard them somehow it disappeared and couldn’t be re-displayed. Resizing to Pro screen impossible. Couldn’t switch between landscape and portrait. Right hand listing of presets in each cart doesn’t work well. You can move a preset around so that you lose presets and replace them with duplicates. Can’t now see all of presets. Using a 12.9 inch pro purchased 18 months ago. Also tried with an Air 2 which exhibited some of the same problems with keyboard display. I suspect but can’t be sure that the main problems arise out of bugs in the keyboard display.

Buggy - Crashes

I have used the desktop version, so it made sense to try the iPad version. Currently on iOS it is buggy and not stable. I am certain it will improve through, hopefully.

Where are 5he 20,000 cartridges?

I’m a big fan of DX7 emulators and use Dexed the VST instrument, along with FM8 and DX7 V collection. This port is very poor and glitchy and worst still doesn’t come with the 20,000 cartridges as stated in the app description. The GUI is a little crude and overall this looks amateurish in comparison to the VST version.


Others can make an iOS synth feel like the software equivalent of a DAW instrument, take TAL UNO LX which is the same on the IPad as the VST and is great to play. This isn’t and I should have know better looking at the screenshots of the interface.


I took a punt purely on the library of 20,000 banks of 32 presets, sadly they don’t seem to be there and I let them unpack on the first load.


Needs a lot more work, barring the ugliness this freezes all the time and is very unstable.
