@Hamudi2000 I guess it depends on your version of impressive. FM8 or indeed FM7 in my experience still can't perfectly depict the original DX7 sounds. It is impressive in some aspects but far from being a perfect replication.
this video made me put a very large bid on a tx816 last night, I had to ask the seller to retract it as I realised how impractical I was being.
The biggest issue was I'm in the UK and he was in the USA , which meant shipping and getting a stepdown transformer...beyond that there is the issue of control and the fact I have no mixer to accommodate..bloody good price though so I'm gutted non-the less. Do you put yours through an eight channel mixer?t the fact it had no optional global out was harsh
It was expensive 10 years ago... Nowaday, it seems to become less expensive perhaps because of the emergence of vst instruments (e.g. FM8).
I'd like to mix sounds of classic brown DX7 (not DX7II). So, I must use TX816 which implements classic DX7, which sounds somewhat different from TX802 (the rack version of DX7II).
If you are not so nervous about this point, I think that TX802 is reasonable.
Id really like to dive head-first into all these machines, but i cant find a great info source. So far, your additions here are the only sounds iv found on the tx816.
really interesting work,
sequencing tools used?

I also owned a TX816 imo. 8 instances of Native Instruments FM8 can sound way more powerful and impressive ;)

It was one of Kratwerk synths in the 80's, and... you can tell!!!
tnx for uploading.

My favorite non analogue synth. One day people will realise just how amazing they are.
Yes, just get a high quality 8 channel desk and use it as a submixer.

Yamaha TX-816 is really a powerful machine. Rich, fat sound.

Wow this is an amazing vid. Iv been searching far and wide for more tx816, but you seem to have the only good sample.
I love it and i know that it wont be long until i have to buy one. The sound of it, the fucking looks man. So daum industrial!!
Do you have more recordings? If so, id love to listen some more :) . This video as a soundclip would keep me sampling for days.

It seems that you like sounds of DX7... Buy it soon :)
DX7 will provide you with many characters of sound.

Im thinking about getting one. Have to find some more samples before i do tho. They can get pritty expensive on ebay.

To be honnest, TX816 has too much voices and seems to be a bit too expensive.
Actually, TX416 is enough for composing music (i.e. four multi-timber).
omowaremas 4 years ago
I like playing with many voices. I bet the tx416 is good to start with tho. After all, you can add more modules if you want to.
How much did you pay for yours and where did you find it?
Hatcollecter 3 years ago
My TX816 costed about 800 usd (which was expensive!).
I found it at a second hand store 10 years ago.

cant stop listening to this one btw. very haunting sound :)
