I agree to what is said above about that there are some major differences, BUT it depends of what scale one messaures with. I don't want to open a can of worms, but let me put this comparison in its context: But at the end of he road, when everything is EQed, compressed, processed and mixed the differnce can only be heard if one know it's software, otherwise not. My DX7 and TX816 hardware is now stored in a closet until I have more space - the software is close enoght to me for recordings, even if the hardware is more fun and dynamic to play. Differnt soundcards gives differnt result. The main reason of the differnce is not in the algoritms but the D/A that are more dirty on the hardware. The FM7 sounded a little bit more harsh and closer to he DX7 to me than the newer FM8. But it is close.Īs mentioned by others in the thread the FM8 is a little bit more flat, especially when it comes to dynamic. In my ears it sounds about the same in a mix, but slight differnt when just play around without other instruments. I have dig deep with comparison with the hardware and software during the years. I am a FM freak (with 6 op FM, but hate 4 op FM) and have the DX7II (and before that DX7 classic) as well as the TX816 (8 DX7 in a rack as a super FM synth).
