DX7 worth getting?

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

FM7 is one of the best sounding digital softsynths. Good user interface and VERY nice presets.

However, the original DX7 does sound subjectively better. The original has a slightly warmer tone, a little fatter....and is ALOT more dirty (particulary the Mki's....not so much on the MKii's). Yes, programming is a bitch....but to be honest there are so many good DX patches floating around...I'd just buy it as a preset synth. Always run FM sounds through decent FX...otheriwse they sound pretty dull/boring.

Some people hate Fm sounds.....I dont know why! 80's music is basically DX7! From the mid 80's analog synths featured less. There is nothing quite like listening to a song that uses DX bass and synth guitar...Jupiter brass and P5 strings.

But, those synths defined the 80's.....VA's define the 90's, 00's.....so its all relative. Hence i wanna get the Ti and keep it in mint condition...one day my kids will play on it hehe
