The DX27 has got exactly the same sound synthesis, so does the DX21,
except that the 21 includes an enveloppe generator for pitch. [with which
you can do some bizarre effects]. The DX27 & 21 sound exactly the same
as the 100. [so does the FB01]. The DX11 & TX81Z are different though,
although they can do the same sounds they've got oscillators which have
square + Sawtooth waveforms.

1096 PRESETS...?
I owned a DX100 for 1 year, I knew every function on the thing,
but I am sure there weren't 1096 presets?!
My DX21 has got 16x8 presets, and my DX100 had a lot less!
Are there different versions of the thing then?
Or are there secret memory banks :).

Never seen this one in a clean DX100 or any other DX/FB, is it really called
"Moog", or just a renamed "Monobass"?

Most presets suck. The real fun is in programming the sounds yourself.
One of the best things is assigning the velocity to the operator out levels,
you can do great filter simulations that way.
It's even possible to make acid: [well...more or less...]
Take the "Synthbass" preset, fiddle around with the op.out. levels until
you think it sounds ok and then assign either one or all operators (or just
2 or 3) the velocity.
[And put the thing in mono-mode with a fingered portamento, play it from a
velo-sensitive keyboard or play around with velo in your sequencer.]
Who needs a 303 or 101!? :)
The same thing for doing this with a piano preset, you can get that
Basic Channel OB Xpander pianola sound too!
