This is my first attempt at using an FM synth, and let me tell you, I'm in love. I'm using the DX-100 that a friend let me borrow. It was confusing as hell in the beginning, but I downloaded the manual and now I can create sounds from scratch on this thing. I find it kinda simple. I also use a korg MS2000B (which I also love) but I actually prefer this over the korg! The korg mas a lot more features, but as far as creating a new sound, this one is the king. It's small enough to take to work..you can make new sounds while riding on the bus... while watching TV...while taking a dump!! I mean it's SMALL, and packs a hellava punch. Grimey basses, soft leads, whatever your looking for, it can do it. Need some unusual percussion sounds, the dx-100 can make it (and it can run on batteries too!) I don't know what the dx-7 can do that the dx100 can't, but I honestly can imagine too much. If you already have some effects and your creative, you may not need another synth with all the bells and whistles. So many people into music want the very best gear, but fail to utilize what they already have. Create a new sound on the dx100, run it through a few effects, do some serious modulation to it, and I guarentee, nothing will EVER duplicate it. For the cheap price it's going for, you'll be a fool to buy anything else. (I owned a sidstation before also, and I'd take the dx100 over that too!) If your on a budget, or you love music, but don't want to spend a lot of money on more gear, I HIGHLY recommend this synth. Techno, electro, hip-hop producers will LOVE this beast, but GET THE PROGRAMMERS MANUAL!!)
