Yamaha DX100 Digital FM Poly Programmable Synthesiser - Detroit Techno Classic

Yamaha DX100 Vintage Digital Programmable Polyphonic FM Synthesiser

The the 4-operator DX100 was released in the mid 80s. With its lightweight plastic case, miniature keys and battery slot for portability, the DX100 might look like a bit of a toy, but its sound is a different matter altogether. The DX100 specialises in similar sounds to its big brother: cold, digital chords; hard, aggressive basses; metallic stabs, plucks and bells. Yes, editing it’s a bit of a pain, but that’s true of all FM synths. In addition to featuring the Solid Bass preset, being the synth of choice for Talkbox legened, Roger Troutman, the DX100 is a Detroit techno classic. Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson all used the synth extensively. It has also been used by Orbital, Scanner, Jean-Michel Jarre, Autechre, Laurent Garnier and countless other dance music artists. Many would argue that Native Instruments’ FM8 plugin makes the DX synths redundant. They’d be wrong. Test them side by side and you’ll hear that the lo-fi 80s DA conversion and analogue output stage of the hardware give it a unique character which nothing else can quite match. Every dance music producer should try a DX at some point. The 100 is a true classic. (Attack Magazine)
