Vintage synthesizer Yamaha TX7 FM Expander (the module of DX7 keyboard) in Springfield, Manitoba for sale

The TX7 is a sound module of the legendary Yamaha DX7 keyboard. It has the same 6-operator digital FM synth engine and can load thousands of DX7 programs available for a free download. Unlike its software emulations, this instrument has that warm and rich sound character from the 80's that derived from the imperfections of the DAC circuits of that time.
The DX/TX7 FM tone generation is based on multiple wave oscillators, modulating each other in various configurations grouped as 32 algorithms. The DX7 is well known for its electric piano, 80's bells, leads, pads and other "struck" and "plucked" sounds which emphasize complex attack transients. Phase modulation used in this synthesizer can generate a wide range of both imitative and purely synthetic sounds and effects.
The DX/TX7 is 16-voice polyphonic and monotimbral. Editing and real time control can be achieved via MIDI: using a DX7 keyboard, the PR-7 programmer, fader boxes or a dedicated computer software.
