Overestimated synths?

I wasn't asking anything, there's a statement about your confusion regarding those two terms. So you aren't interested in sound designaumordia wrote:I was specifically mocking your general taste in synths, if that's what you're asking.jancivil wrote:You have general and specific confused there, don't you.aumordia wrote:Sound design in general is overrated.

None of that has anything to do with overestimated. The DX7 was unique in the early 80s, it's simply not today unless you're willing to program it. Previous poster is right, it's one of those synths for which the vast majority of users just used prestes and, really, exclusively used presets.
I think that there is a big difference between talking about a synth vs a product. Even in the 80s, the DX7 WAS overestimated as a synth. The belief that it could recreate any sound, in theory, simply didn't hold up in practice. It would have been a much better synth with analog filters, although, that would most likely have limited its success as a product.
