I recently watched Trent Reznor's clip from the 'I dream of Wires' documentary, where he blames the DX7 for the decline in synthesiser culture. His hatred of the DX7 is pretty well known at this point. He complained that after its release the market for synthesisers shifted to accomodate consumers' want for 'bell', and 'electric piano' sounds, rather than those of his preferred analog synthesisers. Would you agree that having an affordable synthesiser capable of making credible piano, and percussive sounds really opened the world of synthesisers up to a more diverse range of musicians? The DX7 first hit shelves before I was born, so I can't speak from my own experience here. I think Reznor's opinion on the matter sounds pretty ignorant.
