About this app

This is a revival of the "music-synthesizer-for-android" project. It has been updated to run on newer Android devices.

The app emulates the classic DX7 FM synth. It currently comes with just the standard, default sound bank.

Supports:
* User loadable DX7 patch bank sysex (syx) files
* MIDI In (user selectable channel)
* scroll-able, 6 octave onscreen keyboard, selectable for 1 or 2 row display
* cutoff, resonance, overdrive controls (mapped to midi CC)

In the future more features may be added, such as:
* support for the newer Android MIDI API
* editing patches

My heartfelt thanks goes to Raph Levien, the original author of the app, for writing such a great app and making it available under a open source license.

Open source repository is on Github, please go there for any feature requests, bug reports or contributions: https://github.com/maks/droid-synth
