This really shows how good a DX7 can sound. Their bad reputatuion comes in part because the presets especially were horribly overused, and people kept trying to make them sound like " real" instruments, which always took them to this weird auditory uncanny valley place where they sounded ALMOST acoustic in a way that could not help but be cheesy. By the late 80s digital synths had become out of fashion and everyone wanted affordable samplers and all in one workstations/touring keyboards, so these were basically all tossed in the trashbin of technological history That said anyone listening can tell this is a beautiful sounding synth, and if you play to it's strengths it is an excellent addition to anyone's studio, especially with the right effects Brian Eno still has several , for a very good reason
@@cutofffrequency … nice! Got my eyes on one. I was also just informed of the PGX7 created by an independent owner (Volt Music), for a budget programmer. Check it out!
