|
| hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of
| a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank
| files, accept patch editing commands via MIDI sys-ex messages, and
| recreate the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any other
| open-source emulation (that the author is aware of...) hexter
| operates as a plugin for the Disposable Soft Synth Interface (DSSI).
|
| New features in version 0.6.0 include:
|
| * Implemented the LFO, amplitude modulation and pitch modulation
| (many thanks to Jamie Bullock)!
|
| * Added TX7-style performance parameters, allowing configuration
| from the GUI of pitch bend range, portamento time, and
| sensitivity and assignment of the modulation wheel, foot
| controller, pressure (both channel and key), and breath
| controller.
|
| * Added DX7 patchbank loading code from Martin Tarenskeen, allowing
| hexter to load a number of additional patch file formats.
|
| * Partially implemented portamento. For now, the curves and times
| are wrong, but the plumbing is there.
