The 1986 Yamaha DX100: A Toy or a Treasure?
In this video, we dive into the Yamaha DX100, a gem from 1985 that stands as a budget-friendly alternative to the famous DX7. Priced around £350 at launch, the DX100 is a compact, 49-key synth that offers both portability and power. Despite its mini keys and keytar capability, this synthesizer packs a punch with its FM synthesis engine.
Join me as I explore the unique design of the Yamaha DX100, test out some of its classic sounds, and demonstrate its editing features. We'll also put the iconic Solid Bass sound to the test and see how it stands up in modern music production.
Whether you're a vintage synth enthusiast or just curious about FM synthesis, this video will give you a comprehensive look at what the Yamaha DX100 has to offer. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more synth reviews and tutorials!
