Yeah, good answer. I hadn't realized it until now, but in my mind the sound of the DX7 is inextricably linked to a Phil Collins snare drum and gratuitous amounts of digital reverb.

I remember reading, back in the 80s, that out of all the DX7s which were returned for service during the first two years of manufacture, not one had any user-created sounds stored. Like you said, not the easiest beast to program.
