There's nothing lame about pure FM is great if you know how to use it.
Most people just don't understand the concept, which requires a bit more
time to master than analogue synthesis (and I've heard PLENTY of cheesy
analogue sounds). The problem w/ most FM sounds is that they're trying to
sound like something else - Rhodes, organ, analogue, brass (uggh!).

The DXs have no filters, which is why I'm selling my MIDI'd Prophet 5 for
$850 and my Prophet 600 (also MIDI) for $350. Email me for info.
