"When I acquired this synth secondhand it was suffering from a broken plastic end cap, though otherwise the synth functioned properly, its internals were unaffected, and the metal case was structurally intact. With the help of a carpenter, I produced two Walnut end caps for this synthesizer. Not only do these upgrade the synth's appearance, but they also improve the overall durability of the synthesizer. Otherwise, the synth is in decent cosmetic condition.
The DX21 is a 4 operator FM synthesizer which is similar in architecture to the DX27 and DX100. It is considered one of the best 4 operator FM synths that Yamaha made. The keyboard can be split to play two different patches or two patches can be stacked. It also is one of the only Yamaha FM synths of its era to include a built-in chorus effect, which sounds quite nice."
