  • In this video I cover how to get a rich, lush piano sound on the Yamaha DX7 that sounds straight out of the 80's using VST's like Dexed, TAL-UNO-LX, Gem Mod, Syntorus 2, Valhalla Vintage Verb, Verb Suite Classics, Tal Reverb 4, Softube Tape, Echoboy, la2a and 1176 compression.

    Your videos are cool and well explained but you may be the only one musical producer on CZcams that teaches using free plugins. I can't thank you enough for that. 👍👍

      I also highly recommend SQ8L which, like Dexed, is a freeware, complete reverse-engineered synth with a beautiful 80s sound. In SQ8L's case it is the Ensoniq SQ80. It is a wavetable synth, quite tricky learn though :) (but not as difficult as Dexed or FM synthesis in general)

    @thechainsawtheory2360 Před rokem +2

    Great video! I would also add, most VST synths have a lot of DX7 piano presets, so people may already have these they can fool around with. Also, for a slightly bigger sound that is 80's-inspired, you can layer DX7 pianos with pads or similar sounds to make it extra dreamy.

    If you have the money to spend, the Arturia DX7 soft synth is very very good and quite easy to maneuver around. I would recommend buying the V collection when its on a big discount as opposed to buying the DX7 soft synth from them with no sales ongoing, though.

    • @diond1333
      @diond1333 Před rokem +1

      I have the Arturia suite and had used the DX7 for some time, and only recently did I realise that you can load the .SYX patches I had previously downloaded for Dexed.

      @alyoshasdream8843 Před rokem

      @@ElianaDAngelo yeah, I understand. I only recommend it because its very good and if you can get the V collection on sale you can get a ton of old synths for like 200 dollars and I think its one of the better deals out there when its on sale, many of which are also great for old 80s music (Prophet 5 and Juno 6 are perfect for 80s music). Just something to keep in mind for the future! Thanks for the video!

    Dexxed has been around a while and does a good job of emulating the DX sound. If you actually have some DX7 or other DX synth patches I beleive you can import those as well
    I did it at some point a few times. Yes there are some sites to download the factory patches I am sure
    These days I just fart around with Vital and in my humble opinion betters the DX sound
    As an old dude I liked the 4 operator FM synths the TX81 module was cool
