I have to agree with Clay about the DX-7. I worked with someone once who had figured
out how the damn thing works, and it was brilliant (for the time). After he left for the day,
I tried to do the same things and couldn't make heads or tails of it. And yes, it was too
noisy to use without some kind of filtering/noise reduction. File this one under the
heading "What the #$$%#$% where they thinking?"
Dear All you have to remember what else was around at the time that was polyphonic and had velocity sensitivity. I sussed the programming (Ishocked one pro keyboard player by making his DX7 sound like a MiniMoog!) but they were noisy. DX5 was much better although I recently sold mine.
Doesn't stop the DX7 going into room 101...
