Yamaha DX7 II FD Digital Synthesizer w/ DX100 #58880

WORKING CONDITION: Good. All modes, buttons, and keys are working nicely. However, the internal sound bank is lost, likely as a result of needing a new internal battery. When the battery dies on these vintage synths it frequently wipes the internal stock sounds. You will have to replace the battery and load in the original banks.

What shows up on the screen for the patches is scrambled faunts and when played, you get sounds but not the original patch. The patches loaded from the included cartridge are all working great and sound beautiful. The keyboard is otherwise very responsive, and the cartridge patches load with no issues.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Very Good. This DX7 is in very good shape. All of the keys, buttons, iO jacks, as well as the display screen, are fully operational.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Yamaha DX7 II FD Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer.

Included with this listing is a non-working DX11, which does not power on. 

 The Yamaha DX7 II FD, released in 1987, is the enhanced successor to the original DX7, notable for its cleaner 16-bit sound engine and integrated floppy disk drive. It remains a highly sought-after vintage FM synthesizer for its professional build and "bitimbral" capabilities that allow layering two distinct sounds simultaneously

SPECS:

• Serial # 07883
• The DX7 II FD (Floppy Disk) improved upon almost every aspect of the original 1983 model while maintaining compatibility with previous 6-operator FM patches.
• Sound Engine: Features a 6-operator FM tone generator with 32 algorithms and upgraded 16-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) for a cleaner, higher-fidelity sound compared to the original's 12-bit engine.
• Performance Modes: Supports Single, Dual, and Split modes, allowing 16-voice polyphony in single mode or 8-voice polyphony when layering two patches.
• Storage: Includes an internal 3.5-inch 720KB floppy disk drive, providing roughly 1MB of storage for thousands of voices and system data.
• Hardware Interface: Replaced the original membrane buttons with tactile mechanical push buttons and features a larger, backlit 40-character by 2-line LCD display.
• Expression: Includes a 61-key keyboard with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, plus two real-time continuous sliders for data entry and parameter control.
