But it isn''t always ideal for me to hook up my computer to music hardware, so I was wondering if there was an iPad app that could do the same. It's actually quite good, and I got pretty comfortable accessing the libraries of 1000's of free DX7 files you can find online from over the past 30 years.

On desktop, there is a free VST called "Dexed".

(Audibly, it sounds kind of like the screeching noise of a fax machine while it's being sent over). While I'm still learning about this, my understanding is that the DX7 patches are in "sysex" form, which can be transmitted over a MIDI cable and interpreted as a stream of data, which the Volca FM assembles as the parameters of a patch. I have a Korg Volca FM was looking into different mobile and desktop options for both editing DX7 patches and transferring them to the Volca FM. Was curious about a couple of apps by developer "Coffeeshopped" (great name, by the way): Patch Base (Free but $19.99 each for device specific IAP's) & Sysex Base ($9.99).
