Keep the DX-200. Elektron decided to re-invent FM synthesis to make it "easier", and in doing so mucked with Yamaha's conventional operator structures. I was hoping to reproduce cheesy DX-7 goodness with the MnM, but found that I couldn't easily translate its patches. I couldn't even translate patches from the simpler 4 operator DX-11... The MnM's FM synthesis is fun, but cannot easily be used (IMNSHO) to make classic FM electric pianos, strings, brass, woodwinds, etc. If I'm wrong, someone please point me at an mp3 sample or preset that I have missed! I dig my DX-200... especially the morph knob. Great fun when sequenced from the MnM. Well worth the $100 I paid. -gerald 5) is there a list of the listed frequencies used by the fm machines? i'd like to make sure the MnM can simulate my fave dx200 patches before i sell it.
