  • VERY YES!!!

    This is an outstanding app! I am a hard-core sound designer and this thing has a ton of possibilities!
  • nice.

    but please expand the sequencer!! it's a shame to not be able to program this thing properly in iOS.
  • Good synth

    I would like Dx7 6 operators. But I think you would of done that. If you love Dx you love this .i think it sounds better than the original as that we're know for there back ground noise. Glad I bought.:)
  • Great FM synth app!

    I just sold my dx7 and have been missing it. :( and while this app couldn't replace it, it has been really handy in its abscence. The only thing more I could ask for would be for more control over the LFO. I love the sound when the mod wheel is just a little up but I could sure use some control over wave shape, speed, and depth to get some really dynamic FM patches.

  • Messes with my iPhone

    The last two times I used this app, the display zoomed in by itself, and even when I closed the app, the display would not go back to normal without a hard reset. I'm afraid there might be a virus (don't take my word for it, I don't know for sure!)
  • Cool

    I did not like this synth at first. However, I tried it again after a while last night after setting up rtpmidi and using core midi and a keyboard midi controller to control this synth. WOW, I was able to make some sweet bass!

    I tried to get the same sounds in-app but I just couldn't. My midi keyboard will allow me to go four octaves lower than the in app keyboard does and that has made all the difference for me.

    I would suggest a future update to increase the range of the in-app keyboard.

    I see this synth supports midi CC for cutoff and resonance, but it would be cool if maybe it were possible to midi-learn other parameters. (it might be interesting to say, use a sequencer to change waveforms or to LFO the ratio, etc., this is my first real experience with FM so I don't know).

  • Very nice!

    Well thought out, good sounds. Highly recommended.
  • My bad

    While playing the DXi, the pages on my iPad flip, making it impossible or at least difficult to play live. Please look into this. Otherwise, it's a decent synth for the price.

    OK, I was wrong. I had my multitasking switch on. Problem solved.
  • Great FM Synth!

    This is a crystal clear sounding 4 operator FM synth, a baby brother to the classic 6 operator Yamaha DX-7 synth. These FM synths have a distinct sound, which is very different than the typical subtractive or sample-based synth. The DXi implementation sounds great and the UI is great, especially on the iPad. The algorithm/operator editor is cool, swiping through the algorithms and then touching an operator to configure it. But to me the most fantastic part is the ADSR envelope editor, which, on iPad, highlights each stage over time as a note is played...on the one hand, it's completely obvious, but I've seen a lot of synths and never encountered it before. If Mr. Mizuhiki came up with this, he deserves some kind of prize, and hopefully he didn't patent it!
