@@NicolasMelis I should be evil and offer him my E! rom… and not tell him it will completely reassign almost all of the panel, so the labels over those sexy membrane buttons become absolutely meaningless, driving him to madness until he ends up with a Fairlight and a Jupiter 8, and then one night his wife has left him after discovering that he’d been sleeping next to the Jupiter when she was away. Then he’s sitting on his kitchen floor, eating a can of beans in the dark… a shell of a broken man. Yeah. lol

I have a MODX but none of its e-piano presets sounds as good as the DX7. Thanks for reminding me of so many beautiful 80s intros. :)

[@NicolasMelis]

Glad you like them! Modx has the same E-Piano like the Dx7? Good to know! Thanks :)

[@RayyMusik]

@@NicolasMelis No, it hasn’t. 😥 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?

[@NicolasMelis]

@RayyMusik oh really? Wow didn’t see that coming :)

Brazilian singer called ZIZI POSSI recorded a great song that were called "Noite" on 1986 with a great DX7 intro solo. Verinica Sabino, other Brazilian Singer in this same year, recorded a song were calle "Demais" with acoustic DX7 piano solo. Highly recomended to know

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!

[@NicolasMelis]

So cool! Dx7 is build like a tank!

[@ytpremium7649]

I only see one cable, not sure if its an output or MIDI cable You're running the FULLTINES patch through some awesome chorus and reverb effects while playing LUIS MIGUEL, Beauty and the Beast, and some other 80s intros

I ve transferred the full tines preset via midi to my Dx7
