With a purely digital synth like the DX7, here in the module form of a TX802, it's quite possible to make soft beautiful pads. They will never sound like a subtractive analog synth pad, but sometimes that is just what is needed for a sing, cue or sound design.
The algorithms, feedback and envelopes can shape the sound over time, from the key press, and the shaping of the feedback over time makes it possible to make the illusion of a "filter sweep" even if the DX7 of course has no such thing. It's only the brightness that changes over time.
I find these patches very musical, usable and beautiful. Especially when layered with other types of sound in an arrangement.
Contrary to the TX816, the TX802 has only 16 voices in total.
These patches are all coming from the the TX802 module in my studio. Multi-recording, stereo spread, detuning, balancing, effects layering and processing makes it all come together.
Both of these small musical cues are my own compositions.
