List here examples of the difference between a hardware DX7 and Dexed. This is used as examples to help refine Dexed Mark I engine.

From @sebber at kvr
- On DX7 sound goes completely away when Mod Wheel is at 0, on Dexed it's just quieter
- Dexed reaches Sustain phase faster than DX7
- Operators 3/4: Beating is slower in lower register
- Different timbre
- Different overtones and movements between Dexed and DX7 (play staccato in high register)
- The DX7 displays a buzziness which Dexed, regardless of chosen sound engine, doesn't have. This unclean buzziness is quite sexy, though. (play long bass note)
- envelope times are different
- Operators 4/6: Dexed has more overtones than the more mellow sounding DX7, making it sound more "digital" (yes, I know...)
- this sound doesn't work at all in Dexed
- differences when using Mark I or Modern sound engine
- same sound as above: Modern sounds closer to original :-)
