In a photo from an article detailing The Edge's gear, the Oberheim DSX is visible in the keyboard section, indicating its use by the artist.

His setup can be seen with his keyboard tech Tony Geranios in this image.

In this interview with Sting about the Synchronicity album published in Musician magazine in June 1983, reproduced on his website, he discusses his use of the Oberheim DSX sequencer:

“[Walking In Your Footsteps] was the first thing I ever did on the [DSX] sequencer. I was learning to work it and just played a couple of riffs [sequencer lines] which fit together contrapuntally, then played them through a couple of different sounds. It's wonderfully mechanical and rhythmic. Then I used the same sequence with the drum sound over it based on a classic rock'n'roll riff (laughs). I'm pushing the DSX to its limits. The other day I used up its memory entirely, about sixty-four bars of stuff. and it just said. "Stop! I have no more memory" I tried to stick some more in and it got really angry! It started to buzz and lights began to flash, and I had to turn it off (laughs). I had this bizarre relationship with this machine. I pushed it too far. but now I believe I'm on good terms with it. It's a little like HAL in 2001. Weird, but such a pleasure.”

In Spring 1983, Sting wrote sequences for the then-forthcoming Synchronicity tour in Los Angeles using the DSX sequencer and OB-Xa synthesizer, according to The PoliceWiki website. Stewart Copeland eventually wrote complementary drum patterns on his DMX drum machine, which he then clocked to the DSX sequencer live so he could keep in time with the sequences. Effectively a complete Oberheim system was formed - DMX, DSX, OB-Xa.

In the video by Produce Like A Pro, Tom Holkenborg, known as Junkie XL, is shown with the Oberheim DSX prominently placed in the center of his setup, highlighting its role in his music production process.

In this 1985 photo, Harold Faltermeyer can be seen with a DSX sequencer.

David Rosenthal is confirmed to use the Oberheim DSX sequencer, as detailed in his keyboard rig description for Rainbow in 1982. The setup includes the Oberheim OBXa with an Oberheim DSX sequencer positioned to the left of the rack, as noted by David Rosenthal on his official website.

"I use the Oberheim DSX quite a lot, but when we were at Compass Point Studio I had trouble getting it to synchronise; in the end it wasn't worth the effort and I played everything by hand."

In Alex Ball's YouTube video "How the Terminator 2 music was made," Brad Fiedel is mentioned using the Oberheim DSX during the creation of the original Terminator score.

On his own website, David reprinted an archival article from Electronic Musician:

"David Frank was more or less a one man band with an Oberheim DSX and DMX as well as a minimoog bass."

"I've got the complete Oberheim system (DMX, DSX and OB8), a Prophet T8, and I still use Prophet 5 now and again. I have got a problem at the moment though because it seems almost everything is going over to MIDI. I've actually got the very first MIDI OB8 - I had it converted. I'm pretty sure it's the first one because Chase Musicians - where I buy most of my synths - had only this one in stock: I got it for the studio and they wanted to keep it in the shop! (An Oberheim-sanctioned OB8 MIDI retro-fit has been available since January.) It's proved very useful for running the DSX sequencer with other synths."

In "Modern Recording & Music," page 18, Dan Hartman lists the Oberheim DSX Sequencer as part of the equipment used on his albums.
