Nielso<p>Like <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Dexed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dexed</span></a> for the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Yahama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yahama</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DX7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DX7</span></a>, <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/SQ8L" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SQ8L</span></a> claims to be <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/SysEx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysEx</span></a> compatible with the corresponding hardware <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/synthesizer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>synthesizer</span></a>, the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Ensoniq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ensoniq</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ESQ80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ESQ80</span></a> or <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ESQ1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ESQ1</span></a>. So this means you can load patches from your 80ties hardware synthesizer into the plugin and vice versa.</p><p>Sad story is that <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/UbuntuStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UbuntuStudio</span></a> 24.04 has lost Dexed for some reason, it comes with <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Hexter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexter</span></a> instead which – on my system – completely fails to show the GUI, so it's even worse than SQ-8L. (I'd love to get Dexed back, even though it looked very confusing, I loved the sound.)</p><p>These two are related, because the famous DX7 and the ESQ1/80 were new around the same time, both being very digital (the ESQ1 having analog filters, though). The ESQ1 never made it to the same fame as the DX7 did but both sound like the 80ties.</p>
