Bad Gear - Why did I BUY THIS???


video upload by AudioPilz

[Side Note: The main reason to get a DX200 is for how the knobs are mapped to multiple parameters. Each FM synth maps their controllers differently. You can morph sound in ways you can't easily with other FM synths. The DX200 makes for some intersting Buchla-esque sound morphing and exploration. The groovebox rhythm section is just a distraction, but neverless a tool if you choose to use it.]

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. As a professional music technology clown I have become immune to gear acquisition syndrome, all my purchases are meticulously planned out, based on quantifiable parameters like resale value, repairability and actual utility in music production.

However, today we are going to talk about the 2001 Yamaha DX200, an overpriced contraption notorious for its questionable build quality, sonically surpassed by freeware plugins and riddled with more UI limitations than a Volca. Why did I buy this?

"This bi-timbral FM synth is a great addition for anyone looking to take the joy out of synth programming! In all seriousness, this primarily preset machine puts out all of the classic 80's bell and electric piano sounds your heart has desired. Cosmetically this synth is in pretty good nick minus the two missing fader caps as pictured."

"Classic Roland Promars MRS-2 monophonic analog synthesizer in great working condition. This is the rare companion synth to the Jupiter-4, offering a bold, punchy sound with incredible presence and character — thanks to its dual VCO architecture and early Roland voice circuitry.

This unit is in excellent operational shape, with light cosmetic wear on the sides consistent with age. All functions are working properly, and the synth sounds as massive and expressive as you’d expect."
