I have  to agree with Clay about the DX-7. I worked with someone once who had 
figured  
out how the damn thing works, and it was brilliant (for the time). After  he 
left for the day, 
I tried to do the same things and couldn't make heads  or tails of it. And 
yes, it was too 
noisy to use without some kind of  filtering/noise reduction. File this one 
under the 
heading "What the  #$$%#$% where they thinking?"



Dear All you have to remember what else was around at the time that was  
polyphonic and had velocity sensitivity. I sussed the programming (Ishocked one  
pro keyboard player by making his DX7 sound like a MiniMoog!) but they were  
noisy. DX5 was much better although I recently sold mine.
 
Doesn't stop the DX7 going into room 101...
