Yamaha DX100 (synthesizer)
The Yamaha DX100 is a synthesizer of the family of the DX7 built by Yamaha using the FM synthesis.[4] The DX100 offers four operators and eight algorithms (compared to the six operators and 32 algorithms of the DX7). It has only 49 keys, and no arpeggiator or effects, but is still useful, known in particular for its bass patch #1. It does feature up to 192 presets, seriously improving the DX7's limited preset capabilities. It can also store 24 programmable ram sounds.

gollark: I currently just store stuff on my laptop, an old 1TB disk and a 240GB SSD with... well, some synchronization stuff on important data, that's basically all I have backupwise.
gollark: It's cool how cheap storage devices are, I must say. I can fit several seasons of TV shows, probably tens of movies, or tens of thousands of books on a cheap £8 USB stick.
gollark: There *still* doesn't seem to be a decent solution for one-off-ish file transfer over LANs between devices with different OSes.
gollark: I still have a USB stick around for use as a live USB and file transfer.
gollark: Or possibly 2D AR stuff eventually, if that ever takes off.
