You could also use a Yamaha TX81Z as this is exactly the same sound engine as the DX-100. The DX-21 is also the same so that gives you another couple of options to search for and should be pretty inexpensive.

any fm synth will do the trick, provided you have the patch written correctly. Roger only had a dx-100 cause he was broke at that time.

Just an addition to my previous post. Those m-audio controllers will only work if you are setting up via a computer as they only have USB MIDI interfaces not MIDI din sockets like the TX81Z. If you are looking to use it live then you need to get any MIDI keyboard with din sockets. There are plenty of cheap keyboards around that use standard MIDI plugs. Most of the real cheap Yamaha PSR and Casio keyboards have standard MIDI sockets.
