DX Instrument software synthesizers and transformers for Windows

DXi is the new software synthesizer plug-in standard for Windows-based music production.

Developed by Cakewalk and based on Microsoft DirectX technology, DXi is an open standard available to software developers for creating DXi plug-ins and host applications for the PC.

DXi soft synths make it possible to recreate the sounds of vintage analog synth gear, as well as create entirely new sounds and combinations from within professional Windows applications like SONAR. It brings a new level of soft synth performance to the Windows platform, along with new levels of creativity for recording musicians and producers.
