SOUNDS

I gave at the time the "sirens" of DX, after long hesitation ... He absolutely had to have the "grain" DX and never go to a hippie ringuard! Lacking the financial means to buy a DX7, I rabatu on DX21. Partly because he had two generators with separate outputs (but less than the DX7 algorithms). I thought that spending time in programming, I was going to get something
Time, I spent, believe me, for hours and hours of concentrated effort to try to make it sound. Yes, but here, one is a DX DX. I know that these instruments are still strong advocates, which I certainly respect the opinion, but in my case, on arrival, there is one word that characterizes their sound to my ears overall, and particularly the DX21 (the poor relation, it is true!): "plastic" ...
When I re-listen all I was able to record with, including the studio, I feel like crying, so it seems to deal with a toy. Say that I almost take the place of a Korg DW6000 at the same price (a synth of the same period, with digital oscilloscope, but much more loving and caring, and with a real analog filter)! Almost 30 years later I still regret that choice, that says it all ...

OVERALL OPINION

You're like the ugly duckling, ugly but endearing.
