DX7 had a dreadful keybed. Midi CC only up to 100 (instead of 127), wtf?!
Fatar learned a lot of lessons from Yamaha in that regard.
Looking forward to adding an Expressive E Osmose to my rig soon ..

I never actually owned one but I loved playing one.
Just the fact that a synth thing was so (relatively) affordable and accessible and also made music we heard all the time.
I should probably make a Dexed thing. Ultimately I don't even play an instrument with frets, let alone keys, so it would only be for tinkering.
The DX7 IIFD is a bucket list keyboard for me. I fell in love with it in my youth, and I will eventually buy one in good condition.
The Yamaha FSR1 would be nice, too! :)
The FS1R is the #1 reason I still have my 19" rack after all these years..
No keyboard on an FS1R, although a workstation version of the FS1R would kick serious ass.
>Dexed
Get a Zynthian and dive right in to all the FM synthesis you can possibly imagine, and more. Its pretty freakin' powerful. Plus, you can do all kinds of mad things with it, vis a vis oddball controllers and such.
I'm interested to make a Dexed thing more for the fun/process of it.
At the moment I am mostly playing lap steel but it's early days as an electric player so I am trying to not spend much money :-)
For lap steel which is continuous pitch I feel I'm more likely to settle on a Boss SY synth pedal or something signal-processing-based like it, rather than MIDI. But these days audio-based midi-tracking like MIDI Guitar 2/3 seems to work quite well. I know of at least one player using a Fishman Triple Play on a lap steel but that's an expensive experiment.
