I talked with some people and they told me that the yamaha dx7 is a reliable and good instrument. Does anyone have this synth and if so could you please send me your opinions, pros and cons, of the synth to help me decide if to buy it. Thank You >> You can get some nifty sounds out of it.. Of course, you'll probably think it's crap when you first turn it on and play it.. You'll be like "what the fuck are all these crappy ass electric pianos and bell sounds???". or maybe not. it's a GREAT instrument, but not one I suggest starting out on. And.. Are you planning on making multiple parts? Or playing keys in a band? It's based on yamaha's Frequency Modulation synthesis, which is a bit confusing with it's operators and carriers and modulators.. Easy conceptually.. But harder to get the sounds you want. Need more info if i was to make a decision on whether or not this is the right synth for you...
