DIY Cardboard FM Synth (8 DX7s!) | MiniDexed & Raspberry Pi

I’m a big fan of the open-source DX7 synth, Dexed. MiniDexed takes things to the next level letting you combine 8 DX7s similar to the TX802 and TX816. The best part is that it runs like a dream on Raspberry Pi. In this video, we’ll build our little cardboard FM synth, talk about the synths that inspired MiniDexed, and demo a bunch of sounds from the performance presets, Classic DX7 Roms, and SEGA YM2612 presets. 0:00 Intro 0:59 What Is It? 2:19 How Do You Make It? 3:54 Installing MiniDexed 6:16 Performance Presets 8:52 Classic DX7 Presets 10:23 SEGA YM2612 Presets 11:38 Wrap-up Get MiniDexed on GitHub Floyd Steinberg’s MiniDexed Tutorial @mr_floydst Additional Links YM2612 Dexed Presets on GitHub Dexed for Desktop King of FM (FREE) by AudioKit Pro | Demo, DX7 Love & Why It Matters How to Recreate Retro Game Instruments for FREE | NES, SEGA Genesis & SNES Things used in this build: Raspberry Pi 3B Raspiaudio Hat I2C LCD Display Micro SD formatted to FAT32 Arturia Midi Keyboard Male to Female Jumper Wires Cables for Stereo Audio, USB MIDI, and Radpberry Pi Power Thanks for Watching!
