I saw a further mention of the DX-100 on idm, and if I remeber rightly wasn't it voted in the top 10 of idm machines. What is the fascination with this machine, I thought all the 4 operator DX range had the same engine so why would the DX100 with it's nasty little keys and spectrum style buttons be any better than say the DX21,27 or preferably the rack mounted TX81Z. Also isn't it the same 4op chip they used for the OPL3, the standard used on all the PC Soundcards ... Personally I hated Yamaha with their DX-7 series as it turned Roland all digital and finshed off the JP8 and Sci Prophet5 - bastards... Also anyone any idea what Orbital are up to with this "seated venue" tour, in the UK ? M:) [-A Cyborgs Eye View---------------------http://www.u-net.com/~cev-] | home of....
