RetroPlug VS dexed

If you are wanting a VST that can run roms, checkout RetroPlug! (I am yet to try it, but I've heard it's good)

Per title, i'm wondering if anyone here has the beta of Retroplug for Mac.

Hi, me again! I recently learned about Little Sound Dj, and I'm excited to mess around with it. I downloaded the VST from here and added it to my VST folder. When I opened Reaper, I could not find the VST. I re-scanned my plugin folder and it still wasn't showing up.

If you've got a gamepad, (or don't mind using the keyboard in an emulator) try this https://github.com/tommitytom/RetroPlug

This is done by using the emulator sameboy, being wrapped into a VST, then integrated into FL. The wrapper is called retroplug, and was created by tommitytom on GitHub. https://github.com/tommitytom/RetroPlug. The plugin is meant to be used for LSDJ (a tracker that runs on Gameboy hardware) to be able to run in traditional DAW's. However, it's still a fully functioning emulator, meaning any .gb can be run on it, including Pokemon.

Lastly, if you want to play in an emulator, I highly recommend RetroPlug. It is tailor-made for LSDJ and has a TON of awesome extra LSDJ-specific features.

Retroplug (https://github.com/tommitytom/RetroPlug) is pretty rad. Dowload the mGB ROM (https://github.com/trash80/mGB) and you’ve got anear perfect gameboy sound!

One solution you might look into is the VST RetroPlug. It's a GB emulator in a VST, so you could load it into the DAW, boot up mGB on it, and then you can control that with a MIDI controller.

If you just want to do simple stuff, there are 2 good free options: YMCK Magical 8bit Plug, or if you want more authentic, RetroPlug (a VST gameboy emulator) with mGB as a ROM. If you just want to play basic notes/arpeggios controlled from your DAW these will do the job just fine.

Did you already find https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/wiki/Dexed-as-a-DX7-editor ?

There's a full DX7 emulator available for free (think FM8, but open-source). It's at: https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/releases For the original DX7 sounds (including the classic EPs and basses), there's a .tar file containing a bunch of SysEx backups here: https://homepages.abdn.ac.uk/d.j.benson/pages/dx7/syx/sysex.tar The main page that lists some other files and other general information is here: https://homepages.abdn.ac.uk/d.j.benson/pages/html/dx7.html There are a bunch of sysex dumps in that .tar file, some with other patches, some duplicates, but all worth trying out. The original ROM dumps have names that, oddly enough, start with "rom" (so rom1a, rom1b, rom2a, etc). A page that goes into some good detail on each patch is here: https://www.synthmania.com/dx7.htm By combining Dexed with the SysEx dumps above, you can get a very lightweight DX7 for a grand total of $0. It takes way less RAM than FM8, and it's Apple Silicon Native now, too! I used this plugin a TON for Joseph, to get that 80s synth vibe.

MicroDexed Touch is a fork of MicroDexed which is a port of Dexed for Teensy 3.6/4.1 with a lot more functionality including multiple sound engines (2 x 16 voice DX7, 2x VA Monosynths, Layered Multi Samples, MDA ePiano, 8 voice Mutable Instruments Braids Oscillator), basic audio effects and a 8 track pattern song (tracker like) sequencer.

If you want an FM synth specifically to use in your DAW of choice you have plenty VSTs, both free and paid and even included in FL Studio itself, which do much more than the Volca, but there's a trade-off, you lose some imediacy but get much more power.

I downloaded dexed-0.9.6-win.exe from https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/releases/download/v0.9.6/dexed-0.9.6-win.zip and installed it in its default location: C:\Program Files\Dexed for the stand-alone app.

How familiar are you with how this sort of genre is produced? You could certainly do it in a DAW, there are cheap/free ones available like Reaper or Bandlab, plus many free VST instruments that you can use as plugins.

Maybe grab Dexed - https://www.kvraudio.com/product/dexed-by-digital-suburban https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed

Its called DETUNE parameter. But I can't find information about units. Issue is discussed here: https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed/issues/88 but I don't know how to interpret that table.
