Description:

Vintage 1980s Yamaha DX7 Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer in very good condition with original case and originally included 2 ROM cartridges.

The Yamaha DX7 was the first successful digital synthesizer introduced in 1983 and is one of the best-selling synthesizers in history, selling more than 200,000 units.

With its complex menus and lack of conventional controls, few learned to program the DX7 in depth. However, its preset sounds became staples of 1980s pop music and in 1986, it was used in 40% of the number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100. The English musician Brian Eno was proficient at programming his own sounds, and it was instrumental to his work.

The DX7 was widely used in 1980s pop music, in hits such as "When Doves Cry" by Prince, "The Best" by Tina Turner, "Smooth Operator" by Sade and "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson. The "BASS 1" preset was used in songs such as "Take On Me" by A-ha, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, and "Fresh" by Kool & the Gang. The "E PIANO 1" preset became particularly famous, especially for power ballads; it was used by artists including Whitney Houston, Chicago, Phil Collins, Luther Vandross, Billy Ocean, Celine Dion and George Michael, and in the theme tune of the television series Twin Peaks. In 1986, the preset was used in 40% of the number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100, 40% of country number ones, and 60% of R&B number ones. The preset imitates a Rhodes piano, prompting some to abandon the Rhodes in favor of the DX7.

Basically; if you want that 80s sound a DX7 is a must have.
