Software Emulation
Native Instruments has developed a popular software synthesizer, the FM8 (2006) (previously the FM7 2001–2006), that emulates the DX7's digital circuitry and can load original DX7 patches. It also improves upon its predecessor in that it can also load patches from Yamaha's 4-operator FM synths, including the TX81z, which was the first FM synth to allow non-sine wave operators.
Bristol Synthesiser among other vintage synthesizer can emulate DX-7 under Linux. Bristol emulator work with OSS, ALSA and JACK sound systems.
CSound also has opcodes for producing DX7 sounds.

Famous quotes containing the word emulation:
“Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
