Hey - Does anyone have the DX card for the SW1billion? I already own an An1x and whilst I tempted by the AN card I'll probably leave that for another day. I've not played much with FM synthesis - I've heard that for most people its more luck than design when a good sound comes out but I can live with that (yes - I feel lucky today

So, how does it sound with the SW effects?

Also, does anyone know when the rumoured Kenton (or pick another manuafacturer)box for hosting multiple PLG cards is available?

Hi,
I was going to get a DX7 PLG card but as soon as I found out there wasn't a editer, to getat the features I changed my mind.

really, FM in dance has established all the classic sounds from the presets, very few custom FM sounds appear i think as you say, cos editing from scratch is so hard, or if they do perhaps just with some tweaking to the envelope decay etc, minor edits to presets. You might be better off getting a real outboard old DX synth as they are so cheap, and will have all the sounds you know inside.

I think you will find if you look at the above page that it details a comprehensive editor for the FM synth. FM can make some pretty strange noises not fashionable at the time DX7 ROMs were being put out way back in the 80s. Just take a look at Reality/Sync Modular's DX-G for examples.

There is actually an editor for the DX plug-in. The interface looks exactly like the DX-7. You even have to use buttons to edit patches!

I have the PLG100DX and I love it! It absolutely IS a true DX7s on a card.

Unfortunately, you have to use XG Works to program it and have to save your custom sounds as MIDI sysex and load them into the sequence (a pain).

However, unlike the original DX7 which only had 64 patches, this one has nearly 1000! So, it is likely that you will find the sound you need without having to program.

Oh, by the way, the SW effects work beautifully on this card. And you can record it totally in the digital domain using the loopback.

Highly recommended.

Hey thanks for that - I was beginning to wonder where the PLG-DX owners were.

I popped over to your website - good stuff. Would you consider writing a review of the DX card?
