If we reasonably imagine that on these 640,000 presets 1/4 of them have been created after 1989, it would remain 480,000 presets created during these 6 years, meaning… 80,000 presets per year! The DX7 (including the version II) was sold only since 1983 up to 1989. I even can’t imagine the huge crowd of musicians or sound designers which would be needed to summarize to even MAKE all these 640,000 unique presets during the few years of the real fame of the 6-OP family directly compatible with the original DX7. If I had hired a guy since the 1st January 1983 until today he would have made 48 presets each day, doing nothing else! And including the Sundays, the holidays, etc. While the average person is unaware of the synthesizer by name, the DX7 changed popular music as we know it. If I divide 640,000 by 13,360 I get around 48 presets per day. My focus on the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer in my research may seem overly niche or specialized, but in this essay I establish the magnitude of this synthesizer’s impact on popular music in the 1980s. The difference between these two dates is 13,360 days. Let’s imagine that the sound designers (themselves musicians or not, it’s not the point) began to create presets for the DX7 on the 1st January 1983. In addiction, you can load all the voices in a cartridge into the internal memory. You can also save all the internal voices in a cartridge. I want to add that it is totally impossible that the 640,000 patches are unique patches as claimed by the title so probably also by the guy who made this iOS edition. With the DX7, voices you create can be stored in the internal memory or an external memory cartridge. Jacques (aka BlackWinny, who took part to the beta tests of Dexed and who made the Dexed_Cart).

So, the iOS version of Dexed MUST be open-source, MUST be published with the wholeness of the sources, MUST be provided with a copy of the license GPL v3, and MUST be free, the initial project having been released for free (only the additional services can be billed to the purchaser, so the $3.99 of this iOS edition seems a correct cost covering the usual expenses relative to the hosting on a server without any benefit). There may be fees demanded exclusively for the services related to the distribution, the cost of some services (the rental of servers, the annual cost of a domain, the rental of a repository) to the exclusion of any other fee or of any benefit. One of the points in the license GPL v3 is that a product (and all its derivatives) MUST be open-source, published with the wholeness of the source-code and released for free if the initial project is free. It means, within other things, that EVERY new project based on that project MUST be made with the same license GPL v3. Yamaha DX7 The Yamaha DX7 FM synthesizer was notoriously hard to program, and many artists chose to work instead with its built-in presets.
