The price of a DX1 in 2023 has less to do with the sound and performance, and more to do with the fact that very few of them were made -- 140, according to Wikipedia.? In the same vein, a mint-condition 1963 Corvette might sell at auction for $500K USD, even though it's not really all that close to being a high-performance 'supercar.'

I'm an owner of Chipsynth OPS7 and Cherry Audio's GX-80, which contains the 'last note aftertouch' algorithm.

OPS7 is a great emulation of a first-gen DX synth.? (There was a small learning curve from my TX802, because a few parameters have different response curves between the two generations.)? It's functionally a superset of a DX1/DX5, and has a well designed UI that in many ways exceeds the DX1's front panel.? If one enables 15-bit DAC support and GM-style volume control the result is actually audibly superior to the DX1, unless one is looking to clone every limitation of the original hardware.? It has MIDI, split, and pan capabilities not available in 1984-85 products, and it's easier to save and load new banks of sounds.

The poly aftertouch simulation created by Mr. Shoebridge, while not a perfect imitation of real poly AT, is surprisingly useful in practice.? I wasn't aware that it was available in standalone format; I'll have to check it out!
