Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Yamaha TX81Z FM Tone Generator. Is this classic Yamaha FM synth nothing but the home to the iconic 80s bass, the legendary Lately Bass preset? Can it be worse to operate than the Yamaha DX7? Will rack synthesizers ever look good on social media?

Thanks to Anders Enger Jensen for showing that rack synths can indeed look Instagram-worthy:
