Moving and must sell everything including my classic Original Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer with FM Synthesis.
It includes the original two ROM cartridges as well as a data RAM cartridge to store your own settings in and a music rack.
Oh, it also comes with the original box! All of the functions work perfect on it.
All of the keys work perfect on it.
The mod wheel and the pitch bender work perfect on it.
It hasn't been traveled with.
It has been in the (smoke free) home all of it's life.
There is a ding on the top side as can be seen in one of the close-up photos.
It is cosmetic only.
There is a crack in the plastic cover on the left side as can be seen in another close-up photo.
It also is cosmetic.
I did find where you can purchase a new cover online if the crack in the plastic bothers you.
From Yamaha's website: Released in 1983, this digital synthesizer with its FM sound engine revolutionized the global music scene.
Timeless - A squared body with controls flush to its surface.
The monumental presence of the DX7 denotes its identity as an enduring standard for digital synthesizers.
Minimal - In a reversal of the values present in analog synthesizers, the designers removed all imprecise controls that can result in settings that are difficult to reproduce.
The multiple switches, along with an LCD displaying parameter settings, establish the DX7 as the true essence of a digital synthesizer.
Professional - The DX7 utilizes flat membrane switches, allowing the musician to access all sound functions via a flat surface.
The clear DX green that denotes switch groups fosters a clean, professional atmosphere.
Revolutionary - The DX7 embodies the flick-of-a-switch method of choosing presets and algorithms used in digital synthesizers.
This was a complete turnaround from the image of analog synthesizers, where advanced functionality tended to be indicated by a preponderance of knobs and buttons.
From Yasuhiro Kira - Designer - Yamaha Design Laboratory Using design to herald the arrival of the digital age.
In1983, at the height of the techno-pop movement and the zenith of popularity for analog synthesizers, Yamaha released the innovative DX7 digital synthesizer.
This called for a design that made it obvious to all that it was the first digital synthesizer around.
The design expressed the newness of this completely different digital dimension and we had to create a design that heralded the arrival of the digital age.
To do that, we aimed for a simple, square form that would be a vivid contrast to analog synthesizers and their panels crowded with buttons and knobs.
We removed all physical controllers except for the keyboard, using smooth membrane switches, something relatively new for a musical instrument.
In utilizing this switch-based digital control for all aspects of its operation, the DX7 gave a clear message to that player that here was a synthesizer completely different to all those that had gone before.
Adding these membrane switches to the design, it was vital that we make use of a color scheme that maximized their visibility.
To achieve a clear contrast with the dark brown of the body, we used a vivid green for the panel that we came to refer to as "DX Green".
DX Green was eventually used on variety of products, and it came to symbolize digital technology.
You will love to play this timeless synthesizer.
The sounds are also on practically every 80s track ever made.
The neat thing is that the sounds are still relevant today! Thank you for looking and especially to those who bought some of my stuff to help me move.
If it is more convenient for you than a nice drive to Millville, I can bring it to Redding Enterprise Park for an additional $45 at 4000 Victor Avenue (Kids Kingdom entrance) at the pickleball courts on a Friday morning or Saturday morning when it is sunny and clear out (ground is dry).
