So here we go. I measured the output of my DX7, for all six C keys of its keyboard. It was set to Init Voice, with the following modifications:
Algorithm 1
Op1 Output Level 99
Op2 Output Level 99
Op3…Op6 Output Level 0
Keyboard Scaling all 0

We see that the waveforms of all keys except the highest key look similar, but not exactly the same. The highest key waveform looks very different. Maybe this is just a lowpass filter effect of the DX7 (certainly not of the scope, this is a 60 MHz scope). The frequency of the highest key is about 2 kHz.

If anyone wants me to measure something else, let me know!
