Live or recording - are you able to try FM8
Hello
Owned, gigged and recorded (and programmed) a DX7 then a TX7 for nearly ten years. Sold.
I have Kore and the FM8 Transient Attacks soundpack. You can get the soundpack on its own and use it with the free Kore player.
Live - I remember the DX7 (and TX7) really cut through well in a live band situation with double beater mayhem and two guitar crazies with loud Marshall stacks.
Studio - The FM8 sounds great recorded - you'll need a software host to run it live (and the nerve to gig with a laptop and cope with an onstage crash).
Good luck.
