Impossible, really. DX programs are a set of parameters for a 6 operator FM synth. NS2 doesn't include a 6 operator FM synth.

Volca FM is an interesting low cost alternative. Too bad it looks like they didn't do what Roland did with the Boutiques and allow you to chain them for more polyphony, it's only 3.

On PC/Mac, for free, I've read good things about Dexed. I haven't seen anything for iOS yet. There are FM synths, but not with full DX7 compatibility.

How funny it is....The DX7 throw in the dark all analog synth for decade and started the digital age....Then few years ago, the pure analog went crazy with old analog synths price reaching the sky after Nord invented the Virtual analog....Then nowadays, people are trying to get again DX7 FM sounds....The wheel is just turning on and on again ?!....

No, people are just using different tools for what they’re best at.
