a pitch EG was omitted the later DX11 splits responsibilities between 2 CPUs and adds a PEG. A 63B03 CPU allocates voices and generates auxiliary LFOs, in parallel with MIDI and user interface, which might be why e.g. The TX81Z is built around a single FM chip, the Yamaha YM2414B aka OPZ, while 6-op machines like the DX7 have separate envelope/frequency and algorithm/wave chips and created LFOs in software this large workload in the OPZ is probably why it has fewer operators and notes. The TX81Z was designed as a low-cost FM machine and has always been relatively inexpensive compared to most other FM synthesizers. The Dutch company KissBox released in 2013 a TX81Z editor based on RTP-MIDI communication, which makes the hardware synth appear as a VST plugin, while being controlled over a network link in real-time. However, several personal computer-based editing applications have been developed since its release. Creating new sounds from the unit's front panel is possible, but numerous nested parameters must be navigated by way of 11 buttons and a backlit 16 character, 2-line LCD. Some say the prevalence of the TX81Z's presets was also because of the difficulty in creating new patches. Problems playing this file? See media help. It is also very similar, and almost completely patch-compatible, to the DX11 synthesizer, which is essentially a TX81Z with a velocity and pressure-sensing keyboard, and a pitch envelope. The TX81Z is backwards-compatible with sound patches developed for Yamaha's DX21, DX27, and DX100 synthesizers. Among the presets is the famous LatelyBass, one of the most popular presets in synthesizer history.

The RAM slots were rarely utilized due to the perceived high quality and usability of the original patches and the difficulty of programming new sounds with the limited front-panel interface.

The unit is multitimbral, and has 128 ROM voices, 32 editable voice slots, and 24 editable Performance memories. A keyboard version with more onboard editing abilities was released the following year as the Yamaha DX11. The TX81Z has developed a famous reputation, largely based on some of its preset bass sounds. Unlike previous FM synthesizers of the era, the TX81Z was the first to offer a range of oscillator waveforms other than just sine waves, conferring the new timbres of some of its patches when compared to older, sine-only FM synths. The Yamaha TX81Z is a rack version of Yamaha DX11 and rack-mounted ( keyboard-less) frequency modulation music synthesizer, which was released in 1987.
