In this episode you'll find specs and features on the original 1983 Yamaha DX7, the 1987 DXII series, and the DX7S.
I talk about hardware modifications, issues with the original DX7, and non-keyboard DX7 options.
There is also a very tough quiz that pits the DX7IIFD against the Korg Kronos' FM engine, and Native Instruments' FM8.
