'We used different kinds of vintage synths like the Roland Juno-60, Yamaha TX7... we were using these really cool, slightly nostalgic sounds.'

"I've always been a bit of a rebel, and I tend to do the opposite of what everybody else is doing. Recently I started using a Yamaha RX11 drum machine, then changed down to an RX15 because the difference wasn't all that great for the sort of music I was doing. It does help having an all-Yamaha setup with the RX15, DX7, TX7 and the QX7 sequencer, but the drum machine takes a back seat, being used more as a part of a sequence than as a drum backing. And of course the wind instruments are always there."

ALTHOUGH BEST NOTED FOR HIS GUITAR WORK, Michael Brook also makes use of synthesised sound in the form of a Yamaha DX7, TX7 and a pair of TF1 modules in a TX816 rack. They don't play a particularly prominent part in his music, but they retain a strong individual identity courtesy of some sympathetic and effective programming — a rare feat in these days of FM preset mania

Paul Hertzog confirms using a Yamaha TX7 Desktop Module while working on the "Kickboxer" official motion picture soundtrack: "In addition to the D-50, I used a Yamaha DX-7 and TX-7, an Oberheim OB-8, an early edition of the Ensoniq Mirage, and an Alesis HR-16 Drum Machine (which I spent hours with, tuning the multiple triangle sounds I used instead of a high hat on such cues as 'The Eagle Lands' as well as the jungle-style drums in the final fight sequence)."

In Autograph's music video for "Blondes In Black Cars," at the 1 minute and 10 seconds mark, Steven Isham's Yamaha TX7 Desktop Module is visible on top of an Oberheim synthesizer. This visual confirmation is provided by the video uploaded by Metaldog38's Home Of Metal on YouTube.

In the MusicRadar Tech YouTube video titled "Dubka - Studio Tour," Dubka is shown using the Yamaha TX7 Desktop Module in his studio setup.

"A Prophet T-8 was the main controller, although not used all that much as sound source. A Yamaha DX-7 and TX-7 were used for all the electric piano sounds. A lot of the strings were a combo of two Roland synths, the MKS-70 and the D-550. I used an Akai s1000 a lot and a Linn 9000 as sequencer, drum machine (this was before powerful computers were easy to transport). An Emulator 2 was used for the guitar and many other samples."

Keyboardist Tommy Eyre is confirmed to use the Yamaha TX7 Desktop Module as part of his extensive MIDI setup, which also includes other equipment such as a Roland MKS-1000 motherboard and an E-mu E-max, according to a 1987 issue of Musician Magazine.

In an interview with JazzTruth, Jim Beard stated, "Yeah, I had a DX-7 and a TX-7 and an RX 15, the Yamaha drum machine, and an Ensoniq Mirage, and my 4 track Fostex Cassette Recorder—that was the setup when I wrote most of those tunes for the Michael Brecker albums," confirming his use of the Yamaha TX7 Desktop Module.
