There is a good reason why Yamaha’s DX-7 was the best-selling synth of all time, and why it dominated the music scene during the 1980s. It had the widest range of 
timbres, and its control sources (velocity, aftertouch, MW, envelopes, LFOs, etc.) could control that entire timbral range. No longer were we stuck with passing a stagnant waveform through a filter to modify timbre. A DX-7’s waveform could dramatically change over time and with control changes. It was famous for covering most of the sounds that gigging keyboard players needed, like bright tine electric pianos, crispy acoustic and especially electric slap basses, cutting melodic percussion (like xylophone and marimba and some new electronic melodic percussion that became classic DX-7 sounds), jazz guitars, punchy brass, B3 organs, drums and percussion, solo woodwinds, plucked instruments (like harp and koto), pads, and even sound effects. Discovery offers you a huge selection of all of these on its “DX-7” CD-ROM. Discovery’s DX-7 is available in Kurzweil CD-ROM format (“Discovery Keyboards”) and in Akai CD-ROM format. If you want and needFM (i.e. you didn't keep your old DX7), then Discovery says look no further, Discovery “DX-7” has arrived!
If this ain't vintage then I don't know what is. Well Pong maybe...
Just Check Out Some of these samples and them take you back.
