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!
