This is an old message, but allow me to make some assertions on the machine. First of all the DX-100 presets are "vintage" sounding, and spine tingling to listen to (for my project, anyway...) You can edit all the 1096 presets on the board, and TX81Z is a decent rackmount addition to the DX-100. Roger Troutman uses it(watch the remix of 'california love' again, you'll see it!) Kirk Degiorgio uses it(quite heavily for his Esoterik project I found out! He edits the "moog" preset like no one else can!!!!), and as an added bonus, Juan Atkins & Derrick May prefer it to a DX-7. That is reason enough for me! I fuckin' love this machine! Derek Jordan favorite DX-100 presets: 1.Moog 2.Snare Bass 3.Wine Glass 4.Transporter 5.Helicopter and others I won't mention until my material is clean enough to be released!!!
