I'm currently going thru a large collection of VHS tapes that a guy taped off TV in the 80s/90s, and posting whatever I can get away with, either here on YT or on my IA channel (https://archive.org/details/@peahix). Let me know if you're looking for anything in particular and I'll see if I have it.

When I was a kid, I couldn't afford a DX7, so after seeing this commercial, I saved my pennies and got one of these instead. I no longer have it, and in fact have owned at least four DX7's since then (all bought for around $100 on craigslist back when that was the going rate). Currently I have no DX7's, but coincidentally, the day after I posted this commercial, I was helping an old friend out with something and in exchange he told me to look around his studio for anything I might want/need. I moved some stuff around and found a DX100 sitting there. So I said "how about this?" and he said "it's yours!" btw that "rain storm" preset doesn't sound anything like what you hear in the commercial.
