Embarrassingly bad. Hold is virtually useless. Sounds weak and hallow sounding. Deleted.

Beautiful interface with incredibly deep MIDI configuration settings.

You hit the dx7 patch jackpot with this app. Everything I have made on it translates to a Korg Volca FM seamlessly. By far this is still the most essential synthesis tool I have on my phone. Its ability to create patches for a DX7 is unreal and worth way more than this humble dev is asking. Support this app if you own a Volca FM Show more

Where is the part where the COSTUMERS get to do stuff? The presets are nice, but whenever you try to edit it sounds awful!

A really accurate and easy to use DX7 emulator. Love the different themes and the layout, sound is excellent. MIDI mapping seems great too.

Had an issue but developer helped me immediately. Nice sounds.

Best synth for iPad Perfectly does a DX7, which you can many presets for. Highly recommended!

I am a unprofessional keyboardist who uses iOS soft synths exclusively in liveless performances and unkempt-trailerpark work. I am also a sound destroyer and contaminate all my own sounds.... Testing, testing, testing, sound check. Show more

I was looking at the Volca FM, the Yamaha Reface DX... but now have found my perfect combination in KQ Dixie with the Alesis Q25 midi keyboard with full-size keys. I am new to FM synthesis, interested in sound creation and this app and it’s interface/interaction design is exceptional for learning and playing. Super intuitive to use, fun to play and great for learning FM synth. Show more

I absolutely love this app! It allows you to have a “DX7” on your iPad, plus it supports AU so you can use it directly in a host app. It makes an awesome editor, especially for the Volca FM; Here’s why: it allows you to design a patch and hear it (unlike Patch Base). When you you import sysex files all operators are on (again, unlike Patch Base). But where it’s really great for the Volca FM is the inclusion of the Velocity slider where the mod wheel usually is. So you know EXACTLY how it will translate to the FM! If you want the slider controlling vibrato instead, you have that option by going to settings. It also uses next to no CPU, even on an iPad Air 1, so it runs very smoothly. My only complaint is that is desperately needs a manual explaining the utilities/ file management. I spent hours figuring out how to create a blank voice bank to store my custom patches to. I put a video on YouTube explaining the process. Search “Creating an Init Voice Bank in KQ Dixie”. I highly recommend this for FM synthesis enthusiasts. Show more

I am a professional keyboardist who uses iOS soft synths exclusively in live performances and studio work. I am also a sound designer and create my own sounds. I don’t use presets. I’ve been needing an excellent DX 7 emulator to properly create 80’s style synth patches, and I’m thrilled to now have one. The learning curve on this one for a programmer is difficult if you’re not used to FM synthesis, and the fact that the user manual is not in English can be a challenge...BUT... The emulation is so similar to the DX7 that you can learn what you need by reading a Yamaha DX7 manual (find PDF online). I’ve already created several patches and am using those to replace my previous sounds created using other types of synths. I see reviews with certain requests...but some may be missing the point that this is a pretty accurate emulation...with the benefits of the original and some of the “flaws” of the original. Example: I love that this uses only sine waves in its operators. Other FM synths use sine plus more complex wave forms. They sound great, but the DX7 only used sine waves and therefore so does KQ Dixie. Fantastic development work here. Show more

Loading and saving presets is really confusing. Params shouldn’t be global imo...Good purchase none the less.

Yamaha’s DX7 digital synthesizer was EVERYWHERE in the 1980’s. It’s FM digital synthesis was capable of very unique sounds. Although because of the great difficulty programming the original hardware units, most everyone just used the presets. Those 32 original voices are here too, and have their charm, but the real draw to Dixie is that the thousands upon thousands of voices & patches created by DX7 users over the past 30 years are compatible with the app! Google DX7 patches (sysex format), download the patch or a .zip of patches, import into Dixie via the Files app. That easy. Plus if you want to create new custom patches, I’ve never seen an FM synth that made patch editing easier to grasp. There’s plenty of effects and controls are easy to read & interact with. This app could be 10x more expensive and it’d be well worth it. Highly recommended. Show more

Love the flat interface. Just show me what I need to know, no fluff.

This is a straightforward reproduction of the sounds of the DX7. In all honesty I finally understand how an FM synth works because of this app. I thought I understood FM synthesis, but I really do now, because of this app. I too would like to see ways to share my presets with others and hope that gets implemented in future updates. This is a no-brainer purchase and highly recommend. Show more

This synth is just about perfect. It faithfully supports all the DX7 sounds that I love, has a clever interface and supports AU. I can’t as for any more than this. Well done! Show more

I’m a big fan of both of the musical apps by this creator-absolutely essential applications at an overwhelmingly affordable price! The graphical interface is delightful! It sorta reminds me of old style cartoons- I enjoy returning to it. The sound design is about as intuitive as FM can get- very easy to navigate. And it sounds great! Also works as AU so I can control it with the Bram bro sequencer collection. Fantastic app and my thanks to the developer! Show more

A real six-operator DX7 on your device. And one so easy to edit and program. And works inside so many other apps. Almost makes me want to get a real hardware DX7...almost. Show more

Amazing for the price! I now have more presets available than I have time in my life to hear them all!

6 operator AU Extensive control of parameters Get it!
