		But what made the DX7 so popular was its new and radically different way of synthesizing sounds and its ability to mimic acoustic sounds in an uncannily realistic manner compared to earlier synthesizers.
		Yamaha designed the DX7 with a set of 32 fixed algorithms although in theory these could be arranged in an infinite number of ways.
		With the DX7, this interface was reduced to an almost totally flat panel with no knobs, multi-function buttons and a little LCD window which allowed you to edit just one parameter of the sound at a time.

	Yamaha DX7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The DX7 was the moderate priced model of the DX series of FM keyboards that included the smaller DX9, DX100, and the larger DX5 and DX1.
		Although the DX7 was not a sampler, its bright sounds were much clearer than the analog synthesizers that preceded it.

	Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer
		When the DX7 was originally introduced in 1983, Yamaha quickly found out that they had produced something beyond their wildest expectations: they simply couldn't make enough of them.
		I don't know what other synthesizers the Yamaha marketing people were referring to, but anyone who had ever been messing around with the operators and algorithms of an FM synthesizer will know that this is not quite true.
		Besides the DX7, Yamaha also produced a number of other FM-synthesizers, from the huge DX1 (being two DX7's within one shell) to the tiny FB-01.

	Yamaha DX7 at AllExperts
		The Yamaha DX7 was a synthesizer manufactured by the Yamaha Corporation from 1983 to 1986, based on FM synthesis.
		Although the DX7 was a not a sampler, its bright sounds were much clearer than the analog synthesizers that preceded it.
		The tone generation algorithms used were highly programmable, but it is said that 90% of all DX7 owners simply used the 32 factory default patches, and never tried to program their own patches.

	Yamaha Synthesisers History
		The Japanese company Yamaha who also market furniture,motor bikes, guitars,archery equipment, bathtubs, pianos, skis, tennis rackets and construction machinery amongst others came into the musical instrument market in 1900 with the construction of pianos for the Japanese market, their first electronic instrument the Electone D-1 electronic organ was designed and built in 1959.
		The GX1 was Yamaha's first polyphonic synthesizer although innovative for its time the instrument was out of the price range of most musicians selling for £30,000 in 1976, Yamaha sold very few models.
		The Yamaha DX27, DX27S, and DX100 were the low end versions of the professional Yamaha synthesizers -the DX7.

	DX7
		The high quality of its digital sounds, velocity+aftertouch, the expandability, the thoroughly professional look, and the complicated programming interface, made the DX7 and FM synthesis take off in a way the was unkown before for synthesizers.
		Thousands of units have been sold, and thousands of records have that distinct DX7 sound (especially for the electric piano, the bass, marimba and glassy, crystal-type sounds).
		The DX7 was never renowned for its string sounds - most everybody preferred the warmth and body of a true analog for string parts.

		FM (as used in the Yamaha DX series) was developed at Stanford University by a certain John Chowning.
		It is meant for the Yamaha TX816 rack (which consists of 2-8 DX7s in a rack!).
		One of the unique aspects of the DX7 is that whenever you go into edit mode, you are working on a copy of the patch and not the actual patch.

		The GX1 was Yamaha's first polyphonic synthesiser although innovative for its time the instrument was out of the price range of most musicians selling for £30,000 in 1976, Yamaha sold very few models.
		The Yamaha CS80 polyphonic Synthesiser was a development on the GX1 model at an affordable price range (£5,000 in 1976) and competing with several other early polyphonic synthesisers such as the ARP Omni and the Moog Polymoog.
		Yamaha added more waveforms and multitimbrality for the DX11 and TX81Z, these instruments eventually became the protoypes for the recent SY77 and 99.

	midi data error with yamaha DX7? - Future Producers
		a question: i've been using the yamaha dx7 as an external controller for reaktor on a powerbook g3 400hz with no problems, but all of a sudden my OMS fails to recognize it.
		i have trashed the old setup and done an autosetup which fails to recognize the dx7 - thats when the dx7 says 'midi data error,' and no midi data error is received.
		midi data is being received but the dx7 isn't setup properly to receive, which i'm pretty sure it is) or whether the data error is garbled information or something like that.

		The DX7 does not have an on board sequencer, so it is impossible to "record" music directly with it unless you have it connected to a computer running some sort of sequencer software.
		If your DX7 is very close to your computer, you may be able to get away with plugging the male variety directly into the DX7.

		The Yamaha DX7, released in 1983, became the most popular synthesizer in history thanks to its distinctive FM sound.
		The bell-like Rhodes sound in the Yamaha DX7 was so heavily used in 1980s pop recordings that it became a clich≥.

		You will not be able to create the same complex sounds with only four operators and since the keyboard is not velocity, nor after-touch sensitive, you will lose the expressiveness of the famous DX7 sounds.
		Finally we ended up hardly ever being able to use the DX9, knowing that so much better sounds can be achieved by the DX7.
		When my friend finally decided to sell his DX9, it was without very much regret.

		There was, however, one final shootout between two technologies that Yamaha had been developing side by side: FM and a home-grown 'summation' additive synthesis.
		The DX7 keyboard was not weighted, but it responded to velocity and aftertouch.
		Although the envelope generators, which Yamaha bravely but wisely entombed in silicon rather than taking the 'flexible' software route, have their rate and level system emblazoned on the control panel, such multistage envelopes are notoriously complex to set, especially without any help via movable graphics on the display screen.
