Oh wow, now it downloads the original message. :-) Well that mess I just
wrote will be useful for the archives. I forgot to mention a Crumar Bit 1
might also be interesting. However if you only have one rack space...forget
that and all the other things I mentioned. 'Hey Jude, don't get me wrong,
dump the TX get something better. Remember, if it's less than two spaces
high, then it won't fly except like swiss orr cheddar cheddar cheddar
waaaa!' :-) Ooops back to reality, like I say the DX makes some useable
sounds and certainly is a mainstay 80's instrument. So regretfully you
probably should keep it. hehehe. There just are NOT a lot of good single
rack space options. A roland JV1010 with a vintage synth module? The non
a/d WS racks or M1r I think are single space. M1 certainly became a late
80's icon. Some of the Roland LA things like U-110 had some sounds that saw
play. -Bob
