Who is giving away a DX-7?  Send it to me!  Better yet a DX-11.
Four oscillators, eight waveforms for each OSC, eight algorithms per
voice plus three LFO waveforms.  A noisy beast with a bitch of an
interface BUT capable of some incredible sounds.  Not just percussive
bells and e-pianos.  It can emulate a Hammond and a clav nicely too.
Tons of potential...The trouble is most people don't have the patience
to deal with that Yamaha interface!
