Nah, I’d recommend the Yamaha DX Reface for something that’s a direct DX linage but compact (or you can use a MIDI controller if you want more than 37 keys).



Seconding the Reface DX recommendation.

It makes FM programming enjoyable.

I never figured Dexed or FM-7 out, even though the soft synths and the screen real estate would seem like an ideal match for FM synthesis.

But no, I feel like I only started to grok FM with Reface DX.


Yep, I really like my little reface DX, it's reasonably easy to tweak sounds, and with the help of the free reface DX editor panel ( https://refacedx.martintarenskeen.nl/ ) you can load any patch for 4-op FM synth of yore (DX 9, DX 11, TX81Z) into it.
