Description
A port of Dexed, a FM Synthesizer. Features over 20,000 Cartridges with 32 patches each. Comes with AudioUnit AUv3 plugin for use inside AUM and other DAW apps like GarageBand. Get a camera kit and plug in a midi controller through USB, or get a 5-PIN DIN 1/in 1/out, to: USB and use the camera kit through USB MIDI Spec, NOTE: some devices handle SysEx differently and therefore we cannot promise support for SysEx, so invest in connectors and cables wisely. If you have questions involving making MIDI-USB work the best for your situation, email support. This iOS app was designed especially with small interfaces in mind. Example: an iPhone 5S or a resizable window inside AUM. If one clicks the menu eye, a feature LOCK SCROLL can be –very– important to set knobs, sliders, et cetera: if screen size is limited. LOCK PARAMs in the eye menu locks the parameters for scrolling without knocking loose the preset. In the CARTs menu double tap a cartridge to load a series of patches, the files will have a .syx extension. To use MIDI CC, in the menu eye you must first turn on MIDI CC. When MIDI CC is on it makes the tap events react like a right mouse button click. NOTE: MIDI CC, in eye menu, doesn't have to be on after CC controls are mapped. MIDI CC touch modifier will also turn off after you have successfully mapped a CC control, or when you delete the current mappings. You can turn it on again later to turn off mappings or create new CC mappings. I would suggest setting CC knobs in the bottom section of the screen – above keyboard (if visible). Currently you must save patch in DAW – for instance: GarageBand or AUM. Once we can determine unity and saving/loading between the AUv3 plugin and the StandAlone app, external save will be eventually developed. There is a pathway set to transfer .syx files through iTunes to the StandAlone app, only. Other plans include fixing pixelated images, a quick zoom to set CC mode and updating GUI to a higher degree, make sure midi CC knobs update.

UX changes, also verified that Midi CC works in Standalone and in AUM. The knobs do not update with the midi changes visually, but do audibly. That is a TODO. You can test by setting a Midi CC on Algorithm in the lower third of the synth. The algorithm plot window will change, but the knob won’t. Midi CC is more error-controlled now. Midi CC ON now locks scrolling and locks parameters and is meant for a single run. So if you want to map an other value, you will have to turn it on again.
Past updates: Zooming has been removed temporarily so you don't have to suffer with an unstable release until it's working. Please let me know of any errors as I now have a STABLE and DEVELOPMENT branch. Panning/scrolling is done with two touches now. LOCK PARAMs and LOCK SCROLL also now work again. You can scroll the CART .syx file browser with one touch, but may need to pan with two touches to the top of the CARTs file viewer. Knobs and sliders move with one touch. If you didn't get the master collection of 640,000+ patches, delete the app off the home screen and download from the App Store again. Knobs and sliders move with one touch. If you missed out on some previous versions there is a loading screen that should not be force quitted.

2019-08-10
Quick and dirty temporary fix for iPads, and any time the full width of the plugin fits on screen. In that condition zooming is not allowed. LOCK PARAMs and LOCK SCROLL also now work again. Panning/scrolling is done with two touches now, so is zooming. You can scroll the CART .syx file browser with one touch, but may need to pan with two touches to the top of the CARTs file viewer. Knobs and sliders move with one touch. If you didn't get the master collection of 640,000+ patches, delete the app off the home screen and download from the App Store again. Knobs and sliders move with one touch. Multi-touches more than two touches may cause problems, the zoom and pan algorithm isn’t perfect yet. If you missed out on some previous versions there is a loading screen that should not be force quitted.

A quick update before I update with an other milestone, bug fixes for this release. Less crashing.
1.0.49
2019-07-31
Claims of crashes. Improved stability.
1.0.48
2019-07-28
HERE IT IS! Happy Birthday everyone! Over 20,000 Cartridges added each with 32 patches each. Make sure you have a at least a good 5 minutes of power before initializing, and do not force quit! I spent the last 35 hours with advanced duplicate checking algorithms to iron out the duplicates in the library. There were a ton of duplicates. Also lots of time getting this stable in AUM, GarageBand and StandAlone. There will be a loading screen if the new master collection library needs to be added, and it takes a long time to initialize, so be advised. The download size increased quite a bit, so this is a BIG update!
1.0.42
2019-07-24
Zoom feature focuses to a pivot point. Pan gesture locks parameters, zoom gesture locks parameters.
1.0.38
2019-07-15
This was not a 'light' release. I tunneled more into the native iOS side of things and now allow for native Gestures. You should be able to zoom up to 4x with a Pinch Gesture, and scroll only with a Pan Gesture. You cannot lock zooming, so be careful. Let me know if anything doesn't work. Allowing of zoom is a prerequisite for the 1337 Focus which will be in development next. The purpose of 1337 Focus is to make Midi CC connections quickly. Pay attention new stuff will be added.
1.0.33
2019-07-02
Major changes. Midi CC Feature should nearly work in StandAlone mode and experimentally work in AUv3 mode. Mostly just issues with scaling in AUM and Garage Band. Replaced some of the GUI with native resolution widgets, the graphical overhaul is not complete, however. LOCK PARAM now visually disable parameters on synth as well as disabling touch events. Some features have been disabled until development is done, SAVE is disabled for the moment. So save locally in Garage Band, AUM and use the DAWs in-app preset saving, for now. On the second startup and on, the program will link your iTunes file management uploads with the CARTs, if you have more patches to upload. Implementing this in the AUv3 may not be possible, but we'll see. Stay tuned for light updates periodically.
1.0.30
2019-06-01
The toolbox is larger on iPads. LOCK PARAMs now works in toolbox so you can scroll without bumping your patch settings. STORE menu still in development, 1337 Focus does nothing currently. MIDI CC is not implemented well. Look out for newer versions.
1.0.29
2019-05-30
added Toolbox object with eye hovering top left corner
CC kinda works
lock param does not work
lock scroll DOES work: = YES;
STORE menu still in development

1.0.27: Scales up view more on larger devices. Let me know if there are problems in AUM with larger displays. I do not have an iPad available at the moment.
1.0.26 (skipped):Quickfix: other drop down menus fixed in AUv3 mode.

1.0.25
2019-05-17
Removed: LOAD, SAVE, and SHOW DIR in CART window in AUv3 plugin only as AUM won't load iCloud. So therefore less crashes. Load other patches by double tapping on a .sysex file in CART menu. Eventually there will be a fix to add new patches through iTunes file sharing, perhaps. Fixed popupmenu's in AUM (and probably others) for the AUv3 plugin so you can adjust your LFO Waveform and Envelope easing.
1.0.20
2019-05-14
Reworked modal windows that were causing many hangups in AUv3 for external app. PARAM and STORE windows are in development.
1.0.19
2019-05-11
Now you scroll in the synth. Tip: if you want to control a knob: 1) tap and hold one finger arbitrarily 2) adjust knob or parameter 3) lift fingers and scroll again.
Scrolling also works in AUM.
Sorry about not centering the larger displays, I will get to that but there was a lot of work to get the scrolling working. So save that for next release.

Natemasterflex,
I want Dexed to work sooooo much!
I really love the fact that Dexed got ported to mobile, but it just won’t work. It’s so glitched out and buggy that it’s impossible to take seriously. It won’t open most of the time and when it does make sure you don’t turn your device from portrait view to another angle or it will just fail. You can’t play more than one note at a time or keys start sticking, at least for me. The scaling feature is more of a burden then a help. But even though I’ve just trashed on it, I do see it’s been getting constantly updated. That’s good, and the desktop version is pretty solid and I enjoy using it often. I’ll change my star rating as it gets better for sure. I plan on keeping it instead of the normal return because I want this app to succeed and I think they deserve the money to help it get better too!
Cenk ,
Excellent sound, UI glitches still present
The AU window only shows you a small portion of the controls on iPad Mini and 10.5 inch Pro. It appears that the developer tried to fix it with the last version. Currently, the only way to use the app is to load the AU in AUM, and orient the device vertically, then go back to horizontal, to access the other presets and preset banks. There is no Inter App Audio with which to record or add FX to the standalone app, which displays correctly. It's technically usable, and it sounds amazing. Hopefully it will work properly soon!
cloud700,
Can’t get out of files when in Cubasis
Been using the VST version of this for years and it rocks, this port has some serious issues that need fixing. For instance when using it in Cubasis as an audio unit, when I hit cart and then start browsing the folders and pick a cart there is no way to get back to the synth editing parameters. I hope this gets fixed because this Dexed IOS port sounds great like the VST. I have old school Yamaha FM synths like my TG77 .. but with Dexed VST they just collect dust, and now I’m trying to transition away from my desktop computers to iPads only. Please please don’t abandon this iOS port guys! Big time thanks in advance!
Odobenus,
An fm synth with a huge patch library
The interface works fine on a 3rd generation iPad 12.9" and fills the whole screen in both landscape and portrait. It is pixilated and I hope the developer polishes it up.
It is great to have all the synth's settings displayed at once and only one other iOS app shows as much.
The most similar app is KQ Dixie which has a similarly complete but much less busy interface and is a much more polished app with a better keyboard. However, Dexed includes a huge patch library which KQ lacks. I have not had a chance to compare the sound of the two apps.
Hopefully, Dexed's developer Wil continue to improve it.

BluesStatic,
Love that the developer allows iPhone use
Dexed VST is amazing and I’m sure this runs well on an iPad. But since I don’t have a working iPad at the moment I love that the app is allowed to work on iPhone. Granted there’s a lot of scrolling around on a small screen but it’s better than not being permitted to run at all. I appreciate having the choice, as I’m sure others do too.
And it sounds great and has an unprecedented patch library for any iOS synth.

Null.Void,
Ui needs an overhaul
I'm so glad there's a sunth that can load all the DX7 patches!
That being said, this app suffers from the exact OPPOSITE of the original DX7, too many controls on the front panel!
My dude, thank you for making this app, but make tabs/pages for the controls. One giant scrollable main page is just un unuseable...

Crashing iPad Air 2
I gave Dexed 3 stars because I’m a long-time fan of the company and have enjoyed the Mac OS version. But it currently crashes my iPad Air 2 after a few seconds. Will come back to reconsider rating once more bugs are fixed.
dpione,
Tons of features, but crashes often
I am an experienced iOS synth user, and am familiar with classic FM synthesis mechanics. This app is based on a classic desktop tool, but currently it is nearly unusable on a 3 year old iPad with tons of storage. Basic patch browsing and note playing via iPad screen causes repeated crashes. Even babying it doesn’t help!
kk100,
Great Start!
A few quirks but unquestionably a great value! This is exactly the type of developer we should be supporting
joelzog,
Needs a better UI
The UI is just scrolling around a 2D screen.
And the key are very tiny and glitchy.
Also why must you sell a port of open source software?
