What about Eno's DX7 ambient sounds? While many people think of the DX7 slap bass, Taco Bell, and electric piano patches, Eno used it for beautiful ambient textures, especially on his Apollo album.
Absolutely! I have another video I'm posting soon on how I actually use the DX7 on stage. I use it as a Poly Synth for Ambient textures more than anything. Its also a great hardware option for the types of sounds that I would get from a VST such as Serum. This thing is kind of a poor mans Prophet for me.
The red goo problem happened to some Roland JD800s, D70s and the Rhodes 660/760, which all used the same keybed. The red goo is the glue that fixes the weights in each key in place, it gets soft over time. So weights fall off and the goo very slowly flows wherever gravity takes it. But none of it gets inside the machines and destroys anything. Some synths had some weird third of an AAAsized (the exact name just escaped me) for keeping their patches stored. Those could leak and destroy something on the respective board. That could happen in KORG Polysixs, some early Ensoniq synths and GEM S2/3s. I am sure there are some more around that used this kind of battery.
I've never had that that issue with anything thankfully. I think I actually got this thing mixed up with the Roland VK7 I had that had the red glue removed. I was told their was some sort of similar issue with the DX7's but I definitely know the battery can be an issue.
Some of these videos are old ones I posted to Facebook that I just decided to add to my channel. The new ones will be more suitable for posting for sure.

Japanese glue?
I edited my description to make note of that, I appreciate the info!

@@SonicFlowSoundLab Pleased to hear that, looking forward to some great content from you
Give me a moog synth, a Hammond B3 or C3 or a mellotron anytime.......
I'll take a B3 and Mellotron also! Two each actually. Haha
@SonicFlowSoundLab I can't play but I'm a listener, my music tastes grounded in 70s prog rock.
And if you listen to a 70s keyboard band called Greenslade, you will hear wah wah pedals connected to fender Rhodes piano or, a crumar string man

@@randlerobbertson8792 WOW! Greenslade is incredible! Thank you for the recommendation! That's the type of stuff I dig the most!
THE DX7 WAS CHURCH-BAND-TRASH. FIGHT ME.
