Dtronics DT-81Z: Beyond the TX81Z

The TX81Z was the first of Yamaha’s new wave of FM synths that incorporated more than just sine waves. (Indeed, the Dtronics DT-81Z has a dedicated Wave button in the Operators section to dial this in.) Yamaha soon expanded on this new range of FM synths with (among others) the DX11 and V50, the latter of which added workstation functionality and proper reverb. Whether the Dtronics DT-81Z works with these is currently unknown. However, on the company’s Instagram page, it did indicate that you could use the programmer with Yamaha’s other 4-op FM synths like the DX21, DX27 and DX100. Nice.
