And it's multitimbral!!!

This might be the best fm synth on iOS. I can use Sunvox or Picotracker to drive this synth via MIDI

Perfect App Perfect support!

I'm old enough to have had the original. Dixie took all my old sounds sent via sysex from my DX7II and sounds 1 to 1 the same. When I had a small issue the Dev responded, solved the problem and reposted an update within hours! Why anyone would want an original DX7 when this exists I've no idea. Who wants to buy mine?
