Yamaha DX-21 synthesizer at a local dealer's for $795. While i'm not really enamored of the Yamaha FM-based timbre (being an old Moog fanatic), i am extremely tempted to get one of these creatures, considering that the list price is the same as my first keyboard --- a Vox Continental portable organ (and that was 1967 dollars!). So what i would like to know is: - Has anyone who is familiar with higher-end synths tried the DX-21, and what did you think? - How does it compare to the DX-7? - Will i ever find anything else near this good for this price? Thanks, -- Jim Ericksen UNC Chapel Hill
