Hi Everyone,

Can you Guys and Girls suggest any Vst equivalents to the above mentioned Synths please, it does not have to be direct Emulations but any Vst that can approximate the sounds of these Synths would be Cool!! The Vst can be both freeware or commercial!

Thank you very much in advance

I'd recommend Phantom regarding the TX81Z https://www.discodsp.com/phantom/

The DX7 V would be a great choice, especially since it also includes additional waveforms from the TX81Z and OPL 2/3 chipsets. Dexed would be the best freebie alternatives. Nothing can replace my AN1x, but I like to think Retrologue 2 has a bit similar vibe. Love using Falcon for modern FM, it's truly one of the best that I didn't miss things like the FS1R or even Montage. Take a listen here.

FS1R has no replacement or equivalent in software world, neither does AN1x.

Thak you.. Evildragon besides that is no direct replacement for the Fsr1 and ANX1 what would you suggest as an alternative?

I can recommend UVI Synth Anthology 2 which contains over 250 patches based on FSR1 as well as AN1X samples.

Bumping this since i just discovered a great Tx81z emulation for supercollider released just over a month ago. It is not a VST, and require a tiny bit of learning to set up, but it is great.

https://github.com/gesellkammer/sc-tx81z

Since it's in supercollider, it supports microtuning (which, afaik, none of the other Yamaha FM emulators like Dexed and VOPM does, with the exception of "chipsynth MD"). And it also let you modulate any parameter of the tx81z in very flexible ways, so you have the equivalent of a great mod matrix to adjust waves, operator gain, ratio, envelopes, feedback. Haven't done any direct comparison with hardware yet, but it sounds beautiful, and i'm someone who is fairly familiar with the Yamaha sound.

Someone also released a latency-free audio routing software for macOS recently called BlackHole, so it is easy to send audio from the TX81z emulation into your DAW if you own a mac at least.

Have a look!

OP asked for VSTi, how are you supposed to use supercollider in your DAW? You might as well just use https://soul.dev/lab/?id=LatelyBass in your browser and fiddle with the virtual keyboard.

Something like Cabbage can allow for VSTi creation (similar to SynthEdit) from Csound code (which exists TX81z code), but it is beyond my ability.

Any Suggestions for Vst equivelants of Yamaha Tx81z, Yam FSR1 and Yam ANX-1
