Message-ID: <516@hou2a.UUCP> Date: Mon, 11-Mar-85 17:33:51 EST Article-I.D.: hou2a.516 Posted: Mon Mar 11 17:33:51 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 12-Mar-85 09:16:27 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ Lines: 21 I'm planning to buy a synthesizer within the next year. However, I've only looked and played with the Yamaha DX-7. I'm very impressed with the sound and the machine's features. (I'm a better programmer than musician.) If I had the money, I'd be tempted to buy it today. Some reasons (besides the above): * Good reviews from magazines, dealers, and others on the net. * More ads from third party suppliers selling products geared toward the DX-7 than any other machine. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), I don't have the cash yet, and deep down inside I know I should look at a few more synths before deciding what to buy. Keyboard magazine has ads for lots of nifty-looking digital synthesizers other than Yamaha. But before embarking on this "try them all" trek, I thought I'd ask if any one would like to comment on the DX-7 or any other machine with which he or she has had some experience. You're opinions would be appreciated! Thanks.
