FS:Yamaha DX7 w/ E!, Korg DSS-1
2003-11-22 by Bob Weigel
I just had a fixing spree this and last weekend finally of some things that have been setting around a long time. I should offer them here before I go to the ebay overhead route. E! upgraded DX-7's seem a bit rare these days even on ebay. I have two of them here, one real nice and one that got beat up a bit. I pounded out the dent around the jacks to functionality and repaired the cracked plastic right side. It's actually not noticable until you start looking close and is quite functional. And I'm not picky. (It's a good showpiece item for people who want thrashed things like that fixed I guess :-) ) I figure on keeping one of them. If interested let me know and we'll figure what price they should be. The DSS-1 will be going as soon as I get the rack up and working. This is such a great sounding synth. You have to wait a minute every time you want to load a new bank of patches is the only real downside. It has some of the nicest analog filters out there with 8 voices and dual digital delay with some flexible possibilities. Awesome punchy sounds. This has to be the best bang for buck synth on the market. This one has been recently rebuilt using two synths. The case would be great had it not been for some abrasions that need to be worked down/refinished somehow on the right above the power switch to make it look good. But sonically it's awesome as a studio machine. They're big and the slow loading thing makes them pretty useless for gigging I guess. Unless it's a big gig and you just want to use it for a particular bank of sounds maybe or have time to swap disks :). VSE says 600 I think on this synth but they never sell near that high. Again let me know if interested. -Bob
