The Yamaha DX9 is a spin off synthesizer of the family of the DX7 built by Yamaha. It uses FM synthesis[6] and has 16 note polyphony; however, it only has four FM operators for sound generation compared with six on the DX7. It is the least complex of the DX range of synthesizers and has only 20 on board memory locations.[7]
The DX9 contains 20 pre-programmed voices which include: brass, string sounds, piano, organ and synth sounds.[8]
User created voices (sounds) can be saved on cassette tape for later use.[9]
