The DX7 is directly the reason I'm where I'm at in the world. As a kid, when the DX7 was new, I'd spend hours making sounds and writing music on it. I explicitly went to uni (an Electrical/computer systems Engineering degree) to learn how to make my own synth. I learnt pretty much how in the first 12 months (although I never got around to making my own). I got head hunted from uni and here I am 3 decades later. If it weren't for the DX7 I would have stayed in the classical instrument stream and done a music degree. I wouldn't be on HN today. So, it's great that people are still applying new tech and gizmos to the DX7. It's got a special place in my heart.
