Die to the Light of the Mind (DX7)

This Track is basically the same song as the other one.  Slightly different in patches and

tracking but nothing different.  Sometime I should re-do the song with better production etc.

It is simple and spiritual and uplifting with DX7 tones.  I love the DX7. It is great although if

it is your only synth you will get a little tired from the tones.  I mean this in a good way. 

The limitation of the keyboard is one of its greatest strengths but the depth of the tones can

be irritating as well as enlightening.  It has a double standard that was not reached by other

synths.  This is what made it so powerful.  Use your imagination and it will soar.  Find a reason to

be disappointed with the pads and you can get irritable.  I did many patch collection recordings

for the sake of posterity and sometime I may purchase an old DX7.  I also wonder about the D-50 if

it has as many patches out there. Not sure. THANKS FOR LISTENING :)

Live for the Sight of the Blind (DX7)

DX7 TRACK-My Thoughts:

Yes this was one of the last recordings I did with my DX7 IID.  I love the sound of the keyboard.

I don't recommend DX7 as your only keyboard synth as it was my only keyboard at the time.  This

was a scratch track that needs better production obviously but I wanted to let it out there now anyhow.
