This FM synth needed noise reduction too. The way to go these days is
to use DX7 samples. Let somebody else do the programming and noise
reduction. I have a DX11 sample library that I use regularly and I
never use it for that bell-piano sound.

The Yamaha would land on my best KB list (for unique voices) and my
worst KB list (for crappy interface).
