This means that you can use this with a native DX7/TX7 as a patch editor and sysex manager.
(Edit: It’s obvious to me that you shouldn’t buy a Yamaha DX-something to do sound design, but just to make it clear, don’t do that. Dexed is also a midi cartridge librarian/manager for the DX7. Dexed, NI FM8, Arturia DX7 V, or maybe even Reaktor. He identified strongly with the DX7, and it became his main synth for over a decade, allowing him to explore programming possibilities in a way he couldn’t with other synths. First step is finding a capable FM synth you like with a decent user interface. Much of Eno’s sound comes from his processing of recordings, with Eno saying that recording Apollo involved “ so many processings and reprocessings – it’s a bit like making soup from the leftovers of the day before, which in turn was made from leftovers…“, so obviously the dry sounds from DX7’s output aren’t as you’ll hear in the album. Eno’s methods involve tape manipulation, reversing and slowing down recordings to generate new ones. Double click on the Cartridges folder in your File E. The DX7 can be heard on his ambient album, Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, which actually came out the same year as the DX7. My dexed presets are free to download and use To install, click Cart on the Dexed vst, then Show Dir. The DX7 quickly became Eno’s main synth, and at one point he owned seven of them.
Instead of using the DX7 as a preset machine, he actually used it how Yamaha intended people to use it: to develop never before heard sounds. Brian Eno is one of the rare masters of the DX7.
