DX7: That Electric Piano

[Thoth93]

Has anyone actually cataloged in just how many tracks that classic DX7 electric piano sound has shown up in? What are some of the more well-known examples?

If I had that much time on my hands, I would spend it trying to destroy every record ever made with that HORRENDOUS, FEMININE, WRETCHED, INTELLIGENCE SAPPING, HERPES HAVING SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that DX7 "rhodes" sound is hands down the WORST patch EVER made.

[cyanogen]

Death to the Doogie Howser piano sound!

Planning a few Phil Collins covers, are we?

Seriously, NEVER bring up that sound again.

I kind of like it. It's got a grocery-store-music idiom now. Seriously. When I hear that DX7 on the default patch, I think of grocery shopping.

No, although oddly enough me and the Glooper did some tune tother day with sounds not at all dissimilar to the classic 70s cop drama ditty...

Of course, if you want sinthesisers, you might enjoy

y'know, in the closet is my case with an inoperable dx7. Don't know what's wrong with it, and it'd problably cost more to fix than would be worthwhile. But I keep it, because I remember just how badly I wanted it.
