About This Model

The Yamaha TX81Z is a rack-mounted FM tone generator that became a staple of late-1980s and early-1990s electronic music production. Built on Yamaha's FM synthesis technology, it delivers the sharp, punchy, and often cutting timbres that defined an era of dance, pop, and electronic music — from glassy electric pianos and metallic basses to evolving pads and percussion sounds. As a dedicated expander module rather than a keyboard, it slots neatly into a rack setup and is driven by MIDI, making it a compact and flexible sound source for producers, composers, and synthesizer enthusiasts looking to add classic FM character to their rig.

A great opportunity to own a Yamaha TX81Z at this price point.
