They had better sound quality, and though they provided only four operators per patch, those operators differed from the big boys in that they offered a full eight waveforms rather than the lone sinusoidal of the eight-operator synths. ![]() These units were cheap yet powerful alternatives to the company’s second-gen flagship FM synths. Yet in 1987, with the new wave long since forsaken, Yamaha managed to give FM a shot in the arm with the 1U TX81Z and, to lesser success, it’s keyboard-equipped cousin, the DX11. A few, like the diminutive DX100, were cut-down, cut-priced options with fewer operators (Yamaha-speak for oscillators), less polyphony and less. Of course, nothing breeds success like success, and Yamaha were determined to ride the FM wave through the rest of the decade, releasing an endless stream of instruments cast in the DX7’s mould. ![]()
