Note the two pull out tabs with the parameter listings. Yamaha FM rack synths like the TX81Z had them. It was a useful and great idea vs. having to whip out the manual.

"In 1987 Yamaha released their DX7II which included a number of enhancements over the original and, in 1988, they released the TX802 FM Tone Generator. TheTX802 features the synth engine of the Yamaha DX7 II but it is 8 part multitimbral (can play 8 different sounds at once) so much more complex sounds can be created and layered in such a way that it could be said that it is, roughly, equivalent in power to 8 DX7 II synths"
