What is wrong?

Reviewed by a person. Verified claims stay as they are until a reviewer decides.

Settings

osc
2 saw + 1 square (FM brass approximation), unison 1, detune 3 cents, sub none
filter
LP 24 dB/oct, opened wide to fake FM brightness
cutoff
5000 Hz
resonance
0.05, drive 0.15
envelope
A 8 ms D 300 ms S 0.7 R 200 ms; n/a on the DX7 (modulator index decays ~200 ms); filter env amount 0.4
modulation
lfo sine 6 Hz to pitch
effects
chorus, gated reverb, drive
notes
Punchy FM brass stabs typify early-DX7 pop; the Prophet-5 supplies the pumping bass. FM operator index isn't modeled here, so a bright detuned saw/square pair through a wide-open filter with a decaying envelope and light post drive approximates the brassy bite; AMS RMX16-style gated reverb slams it shut.
