DXi FM synthesizer App Reviews

This is the synth Yamaha should have released first! An awesome fm synth interface! Wow ! I love how it shows you what the operators are doing and how fast or slow they are moving and how the envelopes affect the modulation! Awesome interface ! Bravo! Peace christo

DX7 owner & guitar player here; I love this app! First: I appreciate not having to get out of my chair to play the DX7. Second: I think I could learn more about FM synthesis from this app than I ever could from standing at the DX7. Lastly, I wonder if you'd consider adding Audiobus Effects support? I'd love to play my guitar through my DXi … thanks again.

I'm really glad the developer keeps providing support to this little jewel of a synth. Comparing this app with it's closer adversaries (FM4, TX7, iYM2151) DXi still wins. I'll tell you why: DXi has the easiest way to fiddle with FM parameters via the ADSR screen. Also, DXi has a recorder, MIDI capable, ACP and Audiobus ready, making it easy to integrate to your sonic arsenal. I'm still hoping for the capability of opening SYX files from old FM synths like the 4-OP Yamaha TX81Z. That would mak

Don't get me wrong, I still like FM4. However, DXi would get a fifth star if it had an LFO separate form the Mod Wheel and detuning features. Pitch envelopes would be nice too. While the FM4 has the advantage of LFOs, different sound engines, more flexible settings, and an arpeggiator, it suffers from being abandoned. DXi has the advantage of being more up-to-date, being universal, it sounds just as good, option to turn off anti-aliasing, a true sequencer, better MIDI (I assume), full control of

This app is really good for anyone wanting to add basic FM sounds to their mix. It has a few DX algorithms that allow you to tweak and alter the preset sounds to get some really strange effects. And it's got those thumping DX synth basses for hip-hop and EDM. The sound isn't as smooth and polished as you would get from a real DX, never mind Native Instruments FM8 or the Synclavier V. It reminds me more of the CZ1 from Casio or the Volca FM from Korg. Still, other than Casio's iCZ, this is the b

i’ve bought almost all of the midi keyboard apps currently available and i want to tell every perspective buyer that this one blends with real instruments (acoustic guitars, bass, drums) better than ANY of the high dollar synth apps out there and for a small fraction of the price. seriously, hundreds of dollars spent and this is the app that i end up using over and over when it’s time to add “keyboards” to human made music. buy it

Theres nothing I like more than quirky weird synths. And out of every synth app I've gotten on my iPad, this is by far my favorite. I can (and have) spent hours playing with it, due to its depth and flexibility. Thank you developers, DXi is amazing.

This reminds me of my old Yamaha DX-11, but for a much better price. Very nice!

Love the Sound of this synth and the extra voices in the latest update. 5 Star app all day. A Must have in your synth arsenal. Don't Sleep. Thank You for this excellent app!

Does the job well. Needs Synthstation support and more sounds and downloadable sound libraries. Then 5 Stars.

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.

Useable, functional, virtual midi, background audio, stellar sound--no brainier. Get it!

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

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

...then all you need to know is you're an idiot if you don't buy this.

Using a IPad 4. Worked perfectly until the update. Opens up but as soon as you press a key, it crashes.

Fixed the iPhone 5 support? Makes an awesome app even better!

If you are a iso music maker this is a no brainier. great app

This is a really good app with lots of features, and unlike a lot of apps out right now, it actual works!

Sounds are rich, deep, resonant and full. Rivals hardware easily. If your looking for a synth with some depth, here it is.

Please add 6-operator/32 algorithm support!

I highly recommend this app. Great for playing songs from the album Back In The High Life by Steve Winwood.

Holy cow, this is the one to get. Simple and straightforward, amazing classic sounds, .. Worth every iCent ;)

Excellent. Thank you for all your efforts in producing such a fine recreation of the FM sound. Very user friendly, and great sounds.

Finally came to understand how FM synthesis works by playing with this app's ASDR envelopes. That simple an app. But all the presets sound awesome too. And the MIDI implementation is perfect for me and my iconnect midi+4

Sounds much more like a real Yamaha DX than its rival FM4. And far easier to program than a real one too!

Works Great ..opens in other apps well and sounds great in garageband and other daw apps ..Cool little step sequencer , and tape recorder to capture ideas on the fly . Decent presets to jump off of and create your own Dx type sounds

Is there a way to load extra sounds voice, like soft leaf brass, touch trumpet and organ???

I like this synth. Many great, unique sounds. Works well with Cubasis. Great bells and pads.

Much better than you would think to look at it

It crashes immediately after touching the keyboard. I hope a fix comes soon.
