via this auction"Manufacturing date is February 13 1985
The Dx has a great heavy and crisp sound that is still used today in electronic music, most recently by innovators Justice as much as it was used back when it came out (see Blue Monday by New Order).
This is a Dx with factory MIDI sp it can be used as a MIDI master clock or can be synced to an external MIDI source like a computer.
It can also be used as a module when the internal voices are triggered by another sequencer. Because it has midi it can sync other older drum machines with its tape sync output like the Linndrum and other 24/48/96 ppqn drum machines.
The auction includes the drum machine itself and these extras :-Two presets cassette tapes date 1983 and 1984
-Two zif sockets that can be installed on the eprom slots for quicker eprom swapping
-1 dual sound eprom for the "perc" slot, this is a DMX cowbell/clave eprom I had made but Oberheim specialist Electrongate.
-Original manual and othe original documents
All sound can be detuned and chips can be changed to alternate sounds burned onto eproms.All voices have their own external outputs and fader and there's also a mixed output."
