I was first introduced to the TX-802 in college in the late 80's and thought these units were very cool. I made a lot of compositions with these units and to this day still desire certain sounds from these units. While the TX-802 is essentially a vintage synth now, it should not be overlooked for the value it can add to any home midi studio. The TX-802 is not the easiest synth to use, but a little time is all that it takes to figure out the basics. Sure this unit is crap at acoustic sounds, but that is what samplers are for. I have not found a synth yet that can come close to the bell sounds and electric pianos of the TX-802.

Comments About the Sounds:
The TX-802 is the rackmount version of the DX-7II with a few added touches. It is an FM synth, so it excellent at re-creating electric pianos, brass, analog sounds, and bells. It is not too good when it comes to drums, acoustic pianos, and saxaphones. A required piece of gear in my opinion since the DX7 is such a legendary synth. There are thousands of patches available for this synth (can take DX7 and DX7II patches).
