Yes indeed! A nasty UI for sure. This is where a digital sampler can
really shine. Get some custom programmed DX samples.

I lost a DX-11 years ago. I now use the DX REX samples with
GigaStudio. This is a case where the samples are far better than the
original instrument. Much better signal to noise, higher polyphony
and no "Rubic's Cube through a letterbox" programming.
