Then he’s sitting on his kitchen floor, eating a can of beans in the dark… a shell of a broken man. Yeah. lol

      On paper the MODX is much more powerful, and they certainly tried to implement the DX7 patches, however those don‘t sound as clear and powerful as on the original. Maybe a matter of the DACs?

    My first synth was the Yamaha DX21 and I had so much fun with that and playing around with the FM synthesis on my SoundBlaster card (the early 90s was a fun time). I enjoyed that so much that I purchased a DX7-IIFD on Ebay around 1995 for $280 with a really nice padded case! Still have it today. the quality of the machine is unparalleled for the price...by comparison, the DeepMind 12 that I have feels cheap!
