Well, it is easily explained by the price of a certain piece of gear. FM synths
s.a. DX100, FB01 etc are relatively cheap nowdays, especially if you compare to
the 'market' price of the analogue gear (Roland x0x in particular).. Besides
DX100, CZ101 are so easy to use, they are rather portable and widely
available... Besides all these cheap boxes are very much potent synths capable
of wide range of sounds, whereas 101/202 are rather limited especially given
their price. The only thing that digital ones lack are the knobs/sliders etc...
So, why not use much cheaper alternative? For instance, you can get the Casio
VZ10M for $299 new!!! ANd believe me it will blow the **** out of Roland x0x's!
