Yamaha TG77

images via this auction
"This is the rack mount version to the SY-77, except without the keyboard, sequencer and 3.5 disk drive are gone. These modules have awesome sounds and are very usable in today’s music. These have been used on a lot of records from various artists, from Toto, Brian Eno and Chick Corea and many others. This unit features 16 voices of polyphony for the FM section and another 16 voices for the sampled sounds. There are also 4 independent digital multi-effects which include Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Panning features. The screen is very a large size to view everything easily and make parameter changes.

The default built-in samples are so-so; some are good, some are pretty bad, eg. the drums. But the combination of FM and samples allows for some spectacular sounds to be created. Even though the large display is nice, there are so many parameters to a sound, it's best to use editor software.
