The plugin also works as a program editor for the hardware Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. If you’re looking for that legendary Lately Bass preset, load up a patch called BassAirMan from sound bank #5. You’ll find loads of classic FM sounds in these, from legendary electric pianos to brass, sound effects, and other stuff.

The included patches are organized into 32 sound banks with 32 presets in each bank. In terms of accessibility and ease of use, I would also recommend the very good FMMF by de la Mancha. Adding to that, the interface is very easy to understand (as far as FM synthesizers go) and I’m sure that this great little plugin will help me get better at programming synthesizers based on frequency modulation. I’m not much of an FM synth programmer to begin with, so having access to so many presets is a huge plus in my case. Dexed comes with a huge sound bank containing 1024 classic DX7 presets, bringing tons and tons of classic FM sounds at your fingertips. Why do I like Dexed so much? There are several decent free FM synthesizers out there already (take a look at the article linked above), but this one is the most stable, easy to use, and feature packed of the bunch.
