YAMAHA DX5 Vintage Synthesizer


via this auction

"Here we have Yamaha’s flagship product of the 1980’s…the Rolls-Royce of linear synthesizers. The Yamaha DX-5 was low production run monster of a synth, stacking 2 of the industry standard Yamaha DX-7’s into one massive and beautiful machine. It was released in 1985, and came in 2 versions, the DX-5 (being sold here), and the DX-1, which is identical under the hood and in sound to the DX-5, with added wood panels, aftertouch, and illuminated grids. The quality of this synthesizer is incredible, everything from the keys, to the buttons to the sliders feels like new. The medium-weighted keys feel far better than anything I have felt today"

  1. Uh, wouldn't the DX-1 have been the "top of the line?"
