Certainly true.

I am one of those fair-weather-FM users that had a TX81z and it never went anywhere.? The presets were middling and nowhere could I find super sounds at the time, so I ditched the thing because my exciting life just didn’t have time to stare at a 2 line display.

As I recall, I had gotten it because the TX-7 wasn’t rack mount and the TX816… well, who could afford THAT?? Nothing in between.

While I’m not up on every piece of hardware any longer, I’m still quite the fanboy of FM and would very much love to see someone take it to the next level.? Multi wave forms.? 8 (or more) operators.? Adaptable, even dynamically assignable algorithms. ?Real time parameter changes. ?Not especially tough in software with today’s hardware, but I doubt we’ll ever see a Grand Old Keyboard made from it.
