The DX7 is indeed super important. The E. Piano preset is in like all the 80s cheesy ballads ever... but not only those. It was also used in Jazz (fusion) quite a bit. Hell, Chick Corea was a fan of the Synth (listen Electric City), also George Duke. Even the big brands these days have sampled the DX E. piano, because if you're a live performer it's quite likely that you'll need it if you're playing anything from the 80s in your repertoire (https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-libraries/nord-sample-library-archive/synthesizers/yamaha-dx7-mk-ii https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-libraries/nord-sample-li...). The DX 7 E.Piano is not a great "E.Piano Sound", but it has a life of its own... :) Source: Been playing Piano for 27 years and started on Synths ~22 yrs ago... first synth was an FM Korg X5D :)
