The good news was that it could produce some new types of sounds that the older classic synths just weren’t capable of. It was digital, and compared to the subtractive analog synths before it, it was far from intuitive for creating new sounds. Unlike most synths that preceded it, the DX7 didn’t use an analog structure to create its sounds. During the 1980s and 1990s it made appearances on a vast number of tracks, so there’s no doubt you’ve heard it before. When it was released in 1983, many artists quickly adopted it into their rigs. It turned out to be one of the best-selling hardware synths in history. The synth included 61 keys, 16-voice polyphony, and aftertouch/velocity sensitivity, and was MIDI capable. Full SysEx (System Exclusive) bank file support and full hardware SysEx interfacing is also available.įor those of you who may not be familiar with the original DX7, it was an FM synthesizer developed by Yamaha. In its extended mode, you can use waveforms from the TX81Z, SY77 and OP元. It is dual-layered (basically two synths in one) so it is much like a Yamaha DX1 or DX5. MPE capability has also been added in a recent update. Low and high pitched aliasing is also there as it was in the original synth. It also emulates the DAC (digital to analog converter) within the synth hardware. OPS7 is a bit-accurate DX7 emulation which Plogue has produced by analyzing and reverse-engineering the actual EGS and OPS chips within their own DX7. Here we’ll be looking at the latest chipsynth offering, OPS7.
There are several others under Plogue’s chipsynth category, such as SFC, MD and PortaFM. Here is a short list of Plogue products: Bidule, Chipsounds, Chipcrusher and the free Sforzando. Even the smallest of details are taken into account that many aren’t even aware of. They strive to nail the sound of the actual electronic instruments within the emulations they create. Bidule is used by thousands of musicians worldwide Bidulists from the all over the world have gathered on the forums at the Plogue Web site to get their questions about Bidule answered, as well as share their music and Bidule inventions.Plogue is a music software developer that has several high quality products. The brainchild of Plogue Art et Technologie is a cross-platform application that is gaining recognition world-wide as the new standard in modular music software.
