The Yamaha DX7 defined the 80’s hit-making music by introducing FM synthesis to the masses. The Arturia DX7 V comes complete with a library of all the signature electric pianos, basses, marimbas, synths and more.
While retaining the feel of the original design, Arturia has make it much simpler to use and you can dig deeper when your ready to create you’re own FM patches. If you’re looking for that iconic FM synthesis sound the DX7 V will satisfy the newly initiated and veteran synth players.
The Don Buchla Easel, or Electric Music Box was a different beast. In fact, it makes you think differently about sound right from the start—and the soundscapes you can design with it are as unique as the front panel array. The Buchla Easel V adds some new expansions to the original synthesizer, with more stability, up to 4 voices and 32-step polyphonic Sequencer.
