“Classic Yamaha FM synth, excellent condition. Has been in active use in my home studio right up until last week when I decided to sell it.” Link
“For sale is a Yamaha DX100 digital programmable algorithm synthesiser serial number 01765 which is from the late 1980′s.
Although only posing 49 mini keys other DX100′s were good enough to used by such artists Orbital, Scanner, Jean-Michel Jarre, Autechre, Laurent Garnier, and countless other house and dance artists.
Battery terminals are in really good condition, this keyboard has been stored in the attic for the last fifteen years and has had very light home use only.
Please note there is minor damage on the third key from the right as shown in the photographs, this does not affect the playing at all.
If I had more time I would replace the key as they are easily obtainable on eBay for under £5 each” Link
” Outstanding condition – been in storage for the last 28 years!
Full working order (see pictures with LCD display on)
Includes 3 orginal manuals covering all aspects of the synthesizer from basic use to programming custom sounds. Manuals are in English, French and German.
Orginal power supply and output cable” Link
Original boxed Yamaha DX100 professional keyboard/synth.
This item has only been used in the studio and is excellent & unmarked condition – I would class the condition as excellent/mint – it has never been gigged and has been cared for enthusiastically (as is all my music kit).
The keyboard is boxed and has both manuals & mains adaptor.
A rare chance to acquire a near mint condition boxed example of this classic keyboard with those brilliant 1980′s DX sounds and original manuals.” Link
“Condition: This DX100 is in great working condition overall. On bank “C” the 18th and 19th presets are not working, all other ones are working well and it was tested thoroughly. It is a little scratched and has some marks, but no serious damage. This synth sounds awesome, it has a lot of sweet vintage tones. It has some wear, but sounds so cool. Buttons are all working. Keys all pass signal and are stick free. Everything pictured is included and ready to go! ” Link
“This is good old fashioned Yamaha Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer. I bought this in I guess about 1986. It has mains and battery power, and both of these work.
Clearly the synth has been programmed with some of my own sounds and is a very flexible 4 Octave (second) synth. It has 100′s of pre set sounds plus 24 Internally programmed sounds that can be stored for ever by the machine. The presets are in 4 separate banks to allow easy switching as you play.
There are Pitch and Modulation thumb wheels and Midi connectivity.
Like any digital synth it takes a bit of time to learn how to programme it. It is a good way of learning about sound synthesis. I have the instructional manuals and it will come packaged in the original box. (I know amazing isn’t it)
The DX 100 was the little brother to infamous DX7. Clearly it has less functionality, but basically the same brainbox was inside both instruments. The DX7 was a 1980′s legend and still used by some bands.” Link
“You are bidding on a Yamaha DX100 digital programmable algorithm synthesizer. This synth is in great condition for a vintage instrument. Everything is in working condition.

“Up for auction is a Yamaha DX100 FM Synthesizer Keyboard. The classic unit was a staple in many early sounds and brings a truly unique presence to any studio. This unit is infamous for it’s unique synth sounds and was one of the original voice altering synths. It has minor cosmetic wear from use and age but shows and functions great. All keys, knobs, and sliders work smooth. The DC in for the plug has a minor short when plugged in(a lil soldering) but batteries work smooth with no issues. Thew auction includes the Yamaha DX100 FM Synthesizer and Yamaha 12V power supply as well. ” Link
“I have a Yamaha DX100 Synthesizer keyboard. This thing is legendary, as it was the same type used by Roger Troutman of Zapp (used in legendary songs such as “Dance Floor”, “I Wanna Be Your Man”, “Slow and Easy”, “California Love”, and many others) to achieve the legendary Talkbox effect. Speaking of which, I am including the infamous “C is C” patch (some people sell this patch online), which you can program into the DX100 for the talkbox effect. This also comes with the rare BC2 breath controller, and original AC adapter (not an aftermarket AC adapter). This keyboard is getting harder and harder to find. Items pictured are the actual items that you will receive. Everything works just fine (slider cover for volume is missing, but the slider itself works just fine), and was used in a smoke/pet free studio. ” Link

“Up for auction
Vintage Yamaha DX-100 Keyboard/Synthesizer
Serial # (as you can see in pic) is 26668
I was in a band for awhile, and this is one of the items I inherited about 10 years ago. I don’t know much about this keyboard, but apparently it’s a pretty popular and powerful little synth!
It’s in really nice condition, and has been in a dry clean cabinet in my house for about 10 years now (without any batteries in it). I plugged it in the other day, and used a standard guitar wire in the output slot, and ran the sound out through a bass amp. It sounded great! I used alot of the different sounds and functions and it’s a really cool little instrument! I’m not sure if it’s supposed to have sound on it’s own without being plugged into an amp – because if it does – it either doesn’t work, or I couldn’t figure out how to do it.
Includes: Power Cord
Does not include: Manual and original box (I will ship securely in another box the best I can with plenty of padding)” Link

“Yamaha dx100 digital synthesizer vintage keyboard synth
Hi! NO RESERVE! Up for auction is a Yamaha dx100 fm 80s digital synth – vintage. Everything works but the white keys! odd! ” Link
“We have a Yamaha DX 100 for sale!
This unit is working, but has issues.
The single biggest issue is that the keys are not very responsive; the highest notes trigger well enough but the keys become less and less responsive going to the lowest notes.
When we acquired the synth, the power input and audio output jacks were intermittent due to cracked solder joints, these have been resoldered to good working order.
Some of the bottom panel and PCB attachment screws are missing.
The synth itself works as intended; it hold patches, sends and receives MIDI properly, mod and pitch wheel work well. etc.
Screen is bright and in good shape.
This unit is auctioned as-is for parts, repair, or diabolical experimentation.” Link
“For sale is on function and clean dx100. The synth is the only thing that will ship. It was tested with a universal adapter(not included). There are a few minor cosmetics scratches or dings. I can also be run off batteries. It does have posts for a strap so you can get your keytar on. I rate it an 8-8.5 of 10 cosmetically.
This is the source of the infamous patch “solid bass” that was featured on many late 80s\early 90s techno records.” Link

“Classic vintage Yamaha DX100 polyphonic synthesizer. This is an original one owner item. I bought it in the mid 1980′s and used it when on vacation in my motorhome.” Link
“I’m selling this beautiful synth as it should go to someone who will use it & treasure it!
This is Yamaha’s 4-operator FM synth based on the popular DX-7. It features an input for a breath controller and a 4-octave 49-note (C-C) keyboard.
The famous DX100 has been used to create many hits, and is a true collectors classic –
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTf6Y62uHX8 – see the DX100 with the optional talk box fitting in action
Condition – see pics for a good idea – its pretty faultless for its age – it has hardly been used – I got it as a collectors item but never really got around to setting it up & I use a laptop setup these days.
A cosmetically near perfect example of this classic synth (I can’t find anything wrong myself – no scratches / battery enclosure seems unused / no wearing of graphics etc – see pics for examples)
It has been in my loft for nearly ten years and I got it down today, switched it on and all seems to work fine, the digital screen etc is as it should be, headphone sockets works, I tested the output socket too to a single powered speaker, and worked fine, I can’t test output in stereo though as I don’t have the cable to send out to two speakers.
It comes with original box & manuals which is a rarity these days – although I think the power supply is a generic one from Tandy or somewhere & you would probably do well to replace this as I could detect a slight bit of noise via headphones – but this is a synth that is probably nearly 30 years old so there will no doubt be a bit of ghost in the machine, but I suppose thats the charm of buying old classic synths & if this bothers you don’t buy it.
It may be a good idea to have it serviced to guarantee many more years of enjoyment of this classic.” Link
