If you desperately want a DX-100 you can have mine for a price, although the rubber buttons are all shagged and the jack sockets on the back are also fucked from when I used to use it as a shoulder keyboard and end up tread on the bloody leads all the time.

Of course I can use it but only limited because I don't know what all the functions do.... Yes, I've got a controller keyboard.

Its just a bit complicated at the moment!

Looks like fm doesn't suck so bad after all. Sorry, all. Been out on tour, taking my face for shit, or well,....erm,...rather close there,....almost ended up in it from a slip of the tongue. (Ahem!!) I was a bit curious about the dx1. Kilo, could you fill me in on it? I remember seeing promo for it when it first came out, but then it just sort of disappeared. I thought it was supposed to be the grand-daddy of all fm synths, til the sy series came along.

Another cool piece is the dx27. My friend, OST uses one. If you want to hear the cutting edge in experimental electronic music, involving fm synthesis, check his stuff out. Not that it really matters all that much how you get the sounds at all. The fact that the sounds get out, and work to convey the expression is all that really matters. FM just happens to be an effective tool to accomplish that, and one person's dislike, or lack of respect for it cannot diminish the fact. Modular, granular, fm, subtractive, additive, scanning wavetable, v.a.s.t., whatever: it's not the tools, it's all in the operator (no pun intended).

hmmm... my figure didn't make much sense I guess..
the point is having a operator with feedback modulating another operator. Check the operator diagrams on the pull-out thingie and you'll understand I think.

Hey, Browngirl - just ask some more specific questions and see if people can help you. Most people think that FM synths are the hardest to program, so you'll handle anything when you've mastered the TX.

pongoid - good point about the fact that it's the sounds that matter, not how you make them. Some analogfetischists seem to have forgotten that...
