DX Dreams II for MainStage/Logic and Kontakt is an expansion of the original, sourced from the second generation of DX hardware: the DX7II, TX802, and FS1R.
Note: the GUI seen is only available for MainStage. The instruments will load in Logic Pro and GarageBand, but will load as channels with no user interface.
With a focus on quality over quantity, DX Dreams II meticulously captures 28 new source sounds through British mic preamps for the ultimate reproduction of these legendary instruments. Most sounds were sampled across all 88 keys with as many velocity layers as necessary to make them indistinguishable from the original hardware. As with all BackStage Pass instruments, the level of detail and quality is off the charts.
Some highlights of DX Dreams II are 8 new electric pianos you can only get from the DX7II, TX802, and FS1R; they are sparkly, crystalline, and textural. There are also several pads, synth bells, arpeggios, basses, effects, and 10 combo patches that layer the EPs with acoustic pianos for those iconic 80s ballads. Finally, DX Dreams II comes with custom AMS reverb samples for complete 80s authenticity.
