61 Key 16 Note Polyphony Expandable Sounds The Yamaha DX7, launched in 1983, is one of the most iconic synthesizers in music history. It was the first commercially successful digital synthesizer, utilizing groundbreaking FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis technology, developed by John Chowning at Stanford University. This innovation allowed for the creation of complex, dynamic tones that were a departure from the analog sounds of the '70s. The DX7 quickly became a staple of 1980s pop, defining the sonic palette of the decade. Its distinctive electric piano preset—famously used in tracks like Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do with It" and Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love for You" became a hallmark of the era. Artists like Michael Jackson, A-ha, and Prince leveraged its versatility to shape their hits, while bands like Depeche Mode and Brian Eno explored its more experimental side. Beyond its sound, the DX7's velocity-sensitive keys and affordability made it a favorite among professionals and amateurs alike. With over 200,000 units sold, it not only revolutionized digital synthesis but also democratised access to high-quality sound design, leaving an indelible mark on music production and performance.
