About the DX Simulator
The DX Simulator is providing an exceptionally simple and convenient way to edit and
control all of the parameters on the PLG150-DX Advanced DX/TX Plug-in Board —
even providing the same control format as used on the original DX7.
DX Simulator lets you store your edits as an original Custom voice and save up to 64
Custom voices directly to the PLG150-DX. Naturally, you can save additional sets of 64
Custom voices to floppy disks or your hard disk drive as DX Cartridge Files. The DX
Simulator also features a convenient, easy-to-use DX Librarian that lets you organize
your Custom voices.
Editing on the DX Simulator can be done from two different windows: Edit Panel or Edit
List. The DX Simulator lets you edit the Part parameters the sound of the DX voices
from the software side (Host application) without actually having to save the changes to
a Custom voice.
For general instructions and explanations on how to use the DX Simulator, see Setting
and Changing Parameter Values and Toolbar. For information on specific, commonly
used operations, see Operations.
