Re: Don't use DX7 as a master controller!

2007-04-11 by prophetvs

i think the DX7II is fine too, for a 61-note synth-action keyboard.  I
would prefer it to any current controller offering from M-Audio or
CME, those all, feel cheaper and i like the pitch/mod wheels better.  

the DX7II keyboard is louder, but if it feels clunky, the bushings are
probably worn out, mine certainly wasn't made that way.  i would
definitely use it as a master keyboard above my PEK.
