The dx9 is pretty much the same as a dx7 but it's got 4 operators
instead of 6 and doesn't have a velocity sensitive keyboard, which
really sucks.
If you're going to get a dx, I'd go for a 7 since they made over 150,000
of them and they're both available and cheap.
I've got a TX816, which is 8 dx7 'modules' in a rack unit. You can get
some pretty crazy IDMish noises out of it with any good dx7 patch
editor.
