If you only want the core DX-themed sounds however, you can just use DX Dreams alone. Without Backstage Pass, you will be missing out some combination patches that tie the libraries together in some really exciting ways. However, DX Dreams is designed to integrate with some of the Backstage Pass library and be part of a larger ecosystem of forthcoming sounds.

Over 30 GB of meticulously sampled content sourced from iconic Yamaha DX series synths: a DX7, TX816, and a custom-modified DX5. For the first time since the 80s, you can now play the sounds that defined a generation, as we heard them. So, while other virtual DX instruments give you a single DX7, a single DX Dreams patch can give you big, layered, fully produced sounds that would be impossible without stacks of real DX synths processed through iconic hardware that helped make some of the biggest hits in music history.ĭX Dreams gives you access to those sounds the way they were meant to be heard, but it can also can form the foundation of new, forward-thinking sounds nobody has heard yet.
DX Dreams starts with meticulously deep-sampled sounds recorded in stereo (when applicable) from as many as eleven DX7s all playing at once, and all recorded through iconic 80s hardware: 1073-style preamps, various analog tape models, Roland Dimension D chorus, and AMS or Lexicon reverbs.
