| The DX27 (S in my case, the difference between the two being speakers and a chorus addition) was my first synthesizer, personally. And, while I wouldn't want it as my only machine, I think that as a supplement it's very nice. It produces some VERY strange FX, and great bell sounds. Good brass and some good bass as well - the FM sound is great at doing metallic, and even though the filter's a bit lousy, the bass still comes through pretty well. Very few of the presets I use, however... I mostly program my own stuff. I would be very disappointed with the synth if I couldn't program stuff in - the FX section is particularly lacking. And the DX is not an easy machine to program. The effort is worth it, though - it certainly can produce some sounds my other more expensive keyboards can't even come close to matching. For the price, I consider it one of the best values in a keyboard around.
Comments About the Sounds:
Good bass, excellent brass, the best bell sounds money can buy, and whopping good FX. Elsewise not much.
It's an FM synth and they do what they do...
