Several sources agree. The Yamaha CX-5M has (effectively) one DX-9 in it, along with the Z80. (I still think I heard of a rather powerful CX-5 about six months ago.) Yamaha is currently out of stock on CX-5M literature, but they expect "10,000" copies in soon. From other Yamaha literature... TX7 FM Tone Generator : one "6 operator, 32 algorithm" generator with 32 voice memories and 32 function memories - similar to the DX1. The TX7's 32 function memories may be used to 'augment' the DX7's one func mem. TX216, TX816 FM Tone Generator System : A rack mountable system. The 216 has two TF1 tone generator modules, and the 816 has eight. Each module seems quite similar to a TX7, although the TX7 has more front panel controls. KX88 MIDI Master Keyboard : An 88 key "initial & common after touch" keyboard with a moderate number of controls which can be associated with various MIDI functions. The illustrated configuration shows a KX88 connected to a QX1 Digital Sequence Recorder connected to a TX816. The TX816 may be programmed or played from the KX88. DX5 : This is somewhere between a DX7 and a DX1 - 76 keys (velocity and after touch), two six operator, 32 algorithm tone generators, generally double the memories of the DX7, and lots of buttons. Sounds like a pretty impressive array of equipment. -David sdcsvax!telesoft!dar
