If you want a professional Yamaha FM synth from the 1980’s, the V50 is a bargain. It was the last of the DX’s and is essentially two DX9’s with a sequencer and a drum machine.

For clarity, the later 4 op FM chips, have multiple wave forms and provide a sonic space as powerful as the earlier sine wave only six Op chips…they are not identical but equivalent.




Also of note, the SY77 which bridges the best of Yamaha FM with AWM2 rompler tech.


absolutely. i have an sy99 and they often go for less or equal to a dx7, and they are much more of a powerhouse. can't recommend enough
