  • Pretty good, but....

    Too small. Controls and sequencer need to get bigger for it to be enjoyable on my mini. Hope this happens soon.
  • Love it! How about Audiobus Effects support?

    DX7 owner & guitar player here; I love this app! First: I appreciate not having to get out of my chair to play the DX7. Second: I think I could learn more about FM synthesis from this app than I ever could from standing at the DX7. Lastly, I wonder if you'd consider adding Audiobus Effects support? I'd love to play my guitar through my DXi … thanks again.

  • Very nice fm synth

    There's an oscilloscope which is always cool in a synth and a nice delay and low pass filter. AB and also IAA instrument with transport bar. Good stuff!
  • Great start, but needs more keyboard features

    This does work with a midi controller, but does not work with a sustain pedal.

    I had a DX100 years ago with four operators, and had a lot of fun programming it.

    This is a great start, but the keyboard could use some improvement, like the ability to make the keys bigger, and also a mono mode for the lead presets. Add that, and a midi event editor, and I will give it five stars.

    As a final note, there should be an option to toggle the slide function on the keyboard as it makes it next to impossible to do ascending glissando rolls.

    I would also like to point out that this is a limited version that does not include poly/ mono switch, no pitch bend range, no portamento, no speed control for the LFO filter wave forms, which are also incomplete, as there is no sample & hold or sample & hold x8. Although there is a white noise filter. This is not a true DX7 emulation, or it would have 6 operators instead of 4.

    There should also be 12 algorithms, but there appears to be only about 6. The ADSR on each operator should also have five points instead of four, although they do work well.

    One star off my earlier rating until an update comes out that includes the missing features. That being said, it's still not a bad app for free.

  • Please add more features, very basic, I'd like my money back.

    This is far to simplistic to even be free, you can not even have different wave forms on different operators, this is more like a very cheesy romper then a synth, for the same price you can get so much better. PLEASE can I have my money back, I feel totally robbed by this poor excuse for an app.
  • How to Load extra sound

    Is there a way to load extra sounds voice, like soft leaf brass, touch trumpet and organ???
  • Nice Sounding App

    Works Great ..opens in other apps well and sounds great in garageband and other daw apps ..Cool little step sequencer , and tape recorder to capture ideas on the fly . Decent presets to jump off of and create your own Dx type sounds
  • Best way to learn to use fm

    This is the synth Yamaha should have released first! An awesome fm synth interface! Wow ! I love how it shows you what the operators are doing and how fast or slow they are moving and how the envelopes affect the modulation! Awesome interface ! Bravo! Peace christo
  • Authentic DX sound

    Sounds much more like a real Yamaha DX than its rival FM4. And far easier to program than a real one too!
  • Amazingly simple yet deep

    Finally came to understand how FM synthesis works by playing with this app's ASDR envelopes. That simple an app. But all the presets sound awesome too. And the MIDI implementation is perfect for me and my iconnect midi+4
