FM sounds are famously hard to predict from their names: "E.PIANO 1" and "BRASS 3" tell you little about the attack, the metallic edge or how the tone changes as a note sustains. Dexed brings the DX7 sound to your DAW, and with it the same browsing problem.
Presetti listens to your Dexed programs and lets you search them by sound. Play a reference into the mic, drop a sample, or pick a Dexed program, and Presetti finds the closest FM sounds, along with similar sounds from your other supported synths.
What Presetti reads from Dexed
- Tested with
- Dexed by Digital Suburban, VST3 plugin
- Built-in programs
- The 32 programs in Dexed's currently loaded cartridge.
Where Presetti finds your Dexed presets
You don't need to know where Dexed keeps its presets. Presetti looks for them on its own, and you can point it at any other folder.
- The standard preset folders for Dexed on your computer
- Built-in presets, when Dexed makes them available
- Any extra folders you add, such as packs on another drive
Good to know
- DX7 cartridge files (.syx) can't be searched yet. Presetti reads the programs Dexed holds itself, not SysEx banks on disk.

Why preset names are not enough when you are looking for a sound
Preset libraries are full of evocative names, but they are a poor way to remember and rediscover the sound you actually need.
