WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. All eight modules perform beautifully and the MIDI chaining for using all eight at once is rock solid. All LED's and buttons work as they should, and the power button is in fine shape. Fantastic sounding synthesizer!

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Good. There are some light scratches in the metal casing, as evidenced but the photographs. However, all XLR and MIDI jacks are straight and interface with their respective cables smoothly.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Yamaha TX816 MIDI Rack Synthesizer #57567

SPECS:

• Serial #2778

• The TX816 allows you to easily carry around up to Eight DX7s!

• Released in 1983, TX816 is a monster of DX and FM digital synthesis. It is a unique system in that it is a rack unit that could take up to eight TF1 modules. A TF1 module is basically a DX7 condensed down to a single circuit board with almost no front panel controls. Definitely designed for use with external hardware and software controllers. Software such as MOTU Unisyn, Emagic SounDiver, or even another DX7 can be used to program the sounds in each module via MIDI.
• Each TF1 module consists of a 16-voice, 6-operator digital FM synth engine. So a complete TX816 with all eight TF1 modules would offer up to 128 voices and 48 operators! Each TF1 also features an indepednent audio out (XLR) and MIDI I/O for a total of eight audio outputs and MIDI I/O's. It also has one global MIDI in/out port with 8-part multitimbrality, but no common stereo or mix output.
• The TX816 was designed for demanding live use where portability, polyphony, and lots of outputs are a must! The TX816 is fully compatible with all other DX synthesizers, including Native Instruments FM7 software-based plug-in. You can use the TX816 like it's eight separate DX7s or mix and pan each module together to layer your sounds into one monsterous DX powerhouse.
