Peahix is the man behind optigan.com and he brought us a number of great synth vids. Note this DX100 does have problems so this one is likely for the DIY or circuit bending crowd:

"Currently powers up, but enters a glitchy state where the display flashes random characters, and sometimes it makes garbled/glitchy sounds, either on its own, or sometimes responding to the keyboard and/or MIDI. Most likely there's just a loose chip or some other connection inside. I have not attempted to repair it or trace the source of the problem myself. Could probably be fixed pretty easily by someone qualified to work on this type of electronics, otherwise this would make a great circuit-bending candidate. The data slider cap is missing, and there's some minor scuffs & grime, but otherwise it's in good shape cosmetically. Please see pics for further details."
