well no iwouldn't recommend it it's very bad quality components will be heard everywhere in a mix. lots of noise and alias...i paid mine 15 pounds. i wold get a dx11 or dx7 instead tbh.

[Ciaran55]

@alphacode909 what is alias?

[alphacode909]

@Ciaran55 Alias is an unfortunate side effect of cheap digital synth , for example you can hear high pitch noise while playing a deep bass on the dx 21 / 11 / 100 etc range of synths ,but rather not see this on a dx7 ,or not as exposed anyway.

@alphacode909 THis might be a very stupid question but I'm look at this for a midi controller, are the keys velocity sensitive? Like a piano of course.. Or should I be looking at something else

[alphacode909]

@MrJackanthony Nope keyboard does not send velocity and its cheap ,you want a controller get a controller :) this is a cheap keyboard.

This keyboard makes for a good doorstop and I curse the DX7 for starting the trend of making synths hard to program. I bought into the hype in the eighties and bought one it wasn't until I got a korg ms2k that experienced what fun it could be to program a synth.

[alphacode909]

Well buying a synth is not all ,one have to have the skills to program it. DX7 is tricky to program but after 2 or 3 days and a quick tutorial on FM it's not that difficult to get some great sounds out of them.

If the dx7 had a hardware controller like the roland PG series then you would found it much easier , it;s the diving thru menus that is really annoying not the synthesis itself.

Good video! I love this synth!

[wizard86]

Nice demo! I had a DX21 some years ago, made a lot of cool patches with it. Easy to program, for FM anyway. Chorus is not bad either. All in all I feel it was more versatile than the TX7 I had.

[wirenumber5]

I had a DX21 on the eighties and realized that I was wrong. A DX7 was a much better choice in spite of its price at that time. You can better program your sounds with DX21 and obtain better results than preset sounds, which are really poor.

[vstman]

One of my fav synths just for it's crappy sound. Want to buy a DX21 then you'd better start experimenting with Turbo FM Music Maker / VGM Music Maker since these tools has pretty much the same synth as the Yamaha DX100. It'll take you thru the worst steps since it gives pretty much a good overview of the synth.

[seanwallacegunn]

Sure its a noisy synth...but it is a classic.....who needs everything to sound pristine cold and digital.....I LOVE hearing the DX sounds breathe when you listen to them on cd or (sigh) vinyl........

[DRstaszak]

hoe much would you guys recomend one of these is worth? i was thinking of selling one in my local area



[deathmetalben]

my god this is awesome man! great playing as well

[kryakrya99]

I think it is great synth. If youre looking for workstation - it's not your synth. But if youre in lo fi or electronic music it can be your fave synth. Recommend it, seriously!

A lot of classy techno records was made with this cutie!

YAMAHA DX 21 ARE CLAVIATURA MAI BUNA DECÂT DX 11 SAU-V50 DX 21 NR 1

[bambipaza]

GO BUY A KORG X5D :D IT'S BETTER

[daviddg14]

Do you have pedal sustain ?

[silversynth]

I find my DX 21 is the same as the 27. Its sounds are just too brittle for my likes. I guess if your into industrial it would be a good synth as most of the sounds are harsh. Its pretty heavy too and probably not worth the space it take up in a studio. It is easy to program though given a little trial and error so I recommend it for people starting out.
