Has anyone had a chance to try the Yamaha DX-9? I would be interested in a review. Thanks. Dave Bottom DEC Augusta Maine !dec-rhea!dec-katadn!bottom

I heard from several reliable sources that it's a piece of crap. I semm to remember (someone correct me if I'm wrong), that, compared to the DX7, it has no touch/vel-sensitive keyboard, less voices, half the algorithms, less storage medium, but not cheap enough to make it worth it. My wife is shopping for a synth in the same ballpark, and is looking at the Sequential Circuits Split-Eight (which I also heard bad things about), $499, and the Korg DW8000, $599. The prices are what I've seen advertised in my area. -etan
