The DX-1 was the quietest (less hiss) of the 1st DX series. I had a DX-5 which was the same as a DX-1 without polyphonic aftertouch, weighted keys, or balanced outputs. It was a lot noisier than the DX-1 and a little noisier as the DX-7 but that was because there were two of them but aside from hiss, it was smoother sounding. It might have had better converters. I also had the TX rack with the full x8 TF-1 modules. The TX series hissed the most because there were 8 DX-7s and they didn't sound as smooth as the 5. The DX-1 is still the cleanest sounding DX first gen and it was probably just because it had a killer opamp analog mixer section but IDK. It just was. The cleanest sounding DX today is a good VSTi version. I haven't used the new UVI but I've used older emulations and I was impressed.

@freestate6200 3 жыл бұрын

DX5 has got balanced outputs as well as unbalanced, 3 each.

@Hallkardia 2 жыл бұрын

I have a TX816 and it's much quieter than my DX7. Also, it got individual outs for every module. I don't see why it would increase that much in noise if you just use 2 modules, like in a DX1 or DX5.

@gilwe 2 жыл бұрын

Assume replacing all electrolytics would help. My DX5 isn't noisy at all and sounds superb!

@robfriedrich2822 2 жыл бұрын

I heard, that people who made modifications against the hiss, noticed, that the sound was changed. Sometimes better specifications does not mean, that the sound is better.

@CharlieRiceMusic 2 жыл бұрын

You're right about the hiss. I still have my DX5 (and still in new condition - thanks Yamaha), but it was plagued with those noisy 12 bit converters, doubled. I adjusted a parametric EQ just so to shelve the noise considerably, then programmed my patched brighter to suit. It helped a lot.

@MatthewChristianMurray 3 жыл бұрын

“Where I Belong” from the BB’85 album is a stunning song and an excellent example of the Beach Boys’ use of the DX1. I believe Brian and Carl both played it on that track, and there was also a PPG Wave and a Fairlight...and that was it for the instruments. Not a single non-electronic instrument. And it’s probably their best song from the decade.
