DX7 1983 / SYNTHESIZER
In 1983, at the height of the techno-pop movement and the zenith of popularity for analog synthesizers, Yamaha released the innovative DX7 digital synthesizer with its FM sound engine and revolutionized the global music scene. This called for a design that made it obvious to all that it was the first digital synthesizer around. The design expressed the newness of this completely different digital dimension and heralded the arrival of the digital age.

Timeless
A squared body with controls flush to its surface. The monumental presence of the DX7 denotes its identity as an enduring standard for digital synthesizers.

Minimal
In a reversal of the values present in analog synthesizers, the designers removed all imprecise controls that can result in settings that are difficult to reproduce. The multiple switches, along with an LCD displaying parameter settings, establish the DX7 as the true essence of a digital synthesizer.

Professional
The DX7 utilizes flat membrane switches, allowing the musician to access all sound functions via a flat surface. The clear DX green that denotes switch groups fosters a clean, professional atmosphere.

Revolutionary
The DX7 embodies the flick-of-a-switch method of choosing presets and algorithms used in digital synthesizers. This was a complete turnaround from the image of analog synthesizers, where advanced functionality tended to be indicated by a preponderance of knobs and buttons.
