'Seven Wonders' from the 1987 album 'Tango in the Night'?
I SO need to know!
I have a vintage synth expansion board at home but I'm not sure if it has the exact sound that was used in 'Seven Wonders'.
Could it be a Bell sound from a prophet 5 or something? Please help.

Yamaha DX7. It was the late eighties, FM synthesis was in tha house. You could probably make a patch similar with what you have now though.

Do you thinkI could get that DX7 sound in a SRX 07 (ultimate keys) expansion board with all those vintage synth waves in?
Which should I do.
Buy a DX7 or SRX 07 board?

Well, I've seen DX 7's sell for around $250-300, so if you want anther synthesizer, this might be a better option. It looks like the SRX 07 is mainly focusing on Analog synthesizers (especially Roland's older models).

There are no DX sounds on the SRX-07 board, all mostly Roland sounds. Get a DX7 or a DX21 which is far cheaper.
