Yamaha TX802

The Yamaha TX802 is a rack-mounted synthesizer module that expands upon the legendary Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It features 8-part multitimbral capability, meaning it can play up to eight different sounds simultaneously, and offers 16-voice polyphony. The TX802 delivers a wide range of FM synthesis sounds, including classic electric pianos, bells, and rich evolving textures, making it a powerful tool for creating complex and dynamic musical arrangements. It has been used in tracks by Nine Inch Nails, Aphex Twin, Moby, Junkie XL, and Ceephax Acid Crew.
