On Raspberry Pi 2 and larger, it can run 8 tone generators, not unlike the TX816/TX802 (8 DX7 instances without the keyboard in one box).

Features - [x] Uses Synth Dexed with circle-stdlib - [x] SD card contents can be downloaded from GitHub Releases - [x] Runs on all Raspberry Pi models (except Pico); see below for details - [x] Produces sound on the headphone jack, HDMI display or audio extractor (better), or a dedicated DAC (best) - [x] Supports multiple voices through Program Change and Bank Change LSB/MSB MIDI messages - [x] Loads voices from .syx files from SD card (e.g., using getsysex.sh or from Dexed cart 1.0.zip) - [x] Menu structure on optional HD44780 display and rotary encoder - [x] Runs up to 8 Dexed instances simultaneously (like in a TX816) and mixes their output together - [x] Allows for each Dexed instance to be detuned and stereo shifted - [x] Allows to configure multiple Dexed instances through performance.ini files (e.g., converted from DX1, DX5, TX816, DX7II, TX802) - [x] Compressor effect - [x] Reverb effect - [x] Voices can be edited over MIDI, e.g., using the synthmata online editor (requires ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/probonopd","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/probonopd/MiniDexed/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
