The DXi Advantage

The DXi (DX Instruments) standard offers the following powerful benefits:

• A software synth plug-in standard designed and optimized specifically for responsive, low-latency playback on the Windows platform.
• Quickly patch DXi-compatible soft synths on tracks and use them within DXi host applications.
• Route MIDI tracks to DXi soft synths or run synths as stand-alone tone generators.
• Control and play synths in real-time using their internal interface or external MIDI devices like keyboards, guitar synths, or wind controllers.
• Patch audio effects to synth outputs.
• Route DXi synth output through auxiliary sends.
• Record DXi synth output to audio tracks.
• Save DXi synth settings within SONAR projects.
• Provides reliable, responsive, Windows thread-safe soft synth processing in multi-threaded applications like SONAR and Fruity Loops 3.0.
• More accurate automation. DXi soft synth automation can be graphically and intuitively edited using smooth line-segments and curves as envelope data. Through this, DXi offers automation with up to 100-nanosecond accuracy.
• Other formats rely on SYSEX, which is cumbersome and difficult to edit.
• DXi synths can provide names for banks, notes, controllers, NRPNs and RPNs. This allows user-friendly MIDI- based control of the DXi soft synth or transformer.
• No limit on the number of simultaneous soft synths or automatable parameters.
• DXi-based transformers can be used as MIDI-controlled audio processors, such as vocoders, intelligent pitch shifters, or tempo-based delays.
• DXi synths can have access to the tempo, key, and meter-maps of their host applications. This allows a synth to more efficiently handle transitions for tempo-based or key-based processing.
• DXi allows for offline processing within the host application.
• DXi synths are multiprocessor ready.
