Yep ! But if one have a look inside, let say Ardour... do we have to
think there is wonderful trees
in your backyard Paul ? ;-))
The first DX7, the first once in the brown metal case without an update,
are able to produce those kinds of sounds, later DX7 or first DX7 with
updates or Hexter might do it too, while I won't use a later DX7 or
Hexter ;), since I own a 'real' old faithful DX7 and never updated it.
Dunno, if there's a way to program sounds for Hexter? If so, you should
try Hexter. Hexter seems to be able to emulate a DX7, but the presets
are garbage, compared with a real old faithful, non-upgraded DX7.
Regarding to Xylophone and Vibraphone sounds all free sfs and gigs I
know are less good than FM synthetic sounds.
PS:
If Hexter should really emulate a DX7, take care of the book "Yamaha DX7
Digital Synthesizer" by Yasuhiko Fukuda, Order No. AM 39371, ISBN
0.7119.0653.x, it's worth the hassle. You'll be able to hear that FM
synthesis is able to be better than most free sound samples for some
kinds of percussive sounds.
