+hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of a Yamaha
+DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank files, accept patch
+editing commands via MIDI sys-ex messages (ALSA systems only), and recreate
+the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any previous open-source
+emulation (that the author is aware of....).
+
+hexter operates as a plugin for the Disposable Soft Synth Interface (DSSI);
+you need a program to host it (e.g. rosegarden).
+
+This requires dssi and liblo.
