Details:
"This is a super rare Yamaha FX-1 electone organ piano key board synthesizer SN 1134 Wow I have one! not many made and not many left i was told less the 15 in the US and no more the 20 in the world cost over $45,000 in 1983 i also have the TX-1 amplifier tone cabinet the serial 1666 which is included and the pedals
The Yamaha FX-1 isn't really an organ, but, in this case, a group of polyphonic digital synthesizers, based on Yamaha's DX FM synth technology. Various level and balance controls are operated by sliders, and the sliders are automated, so that when a preset is recalled, the sliders actually moved to the preset positions"

"1970's guitar synthesizer....one of the first of it's kind for guitar...really wacky and wonderfull !! This thing does sound cool!

Waveform, filter,(sample & hold), phase, envelope and sub-harmonic( plus sensitivity for envelope and sub-harmonic).

Five sliders(knobs) are broken but do function. Every effect works well and as they should.(The sliders can easilly be fixed with replacements).

Very rare and collectable."

Freezepop Forever

YouTube via usamablackbelt. What's interesting about this one is it actually names the Yamaha QY70 in it. It got me wondering how many other songs mention a synth. If you know of any feel free to share.

Update: Here's another video by Freezepop that features the QY70 and I'm guessing a KORG MicroKORG: Freezepop - Parlez-vous Freezepop?

New Synth Coming?

New From Cwejman

More details posted today via the thread previously posted here.

via Shawn of Analogue Haven:
"I expect Cwejman to show the following new gear:

19" rack with TR-100W transformer box
INS-2MX "Dual Insert Voltage Controlled Amplifier"
MX-4S "Four channel VC Stereo Mixer" (wow Smile )
NS-4 "Four Output VC noise generator"
RES-4 "Quad VC Resonator"
VCEQ-4 "4 band version of the VC parametric EQ"
VCA-4MX "Quad VC Amplifier"

He is also working on the following for the future (these probably
will not be at Musikmesse):
ATT-4 "Quad Attenuator"
Rev7 "VC Reverb processor"
MC-V8 "8-voice midi controller" for midi-cv/gate with dynamics

There are already data sheets for the prototypes (much like the manuals on each individual Cwejman module page at our site) but it is better to wait until Musikmesse so you can see the full details from the Superbooth. Then we will upload info and pricing to our site.

PS: as always, specifications are subject to change. These modules are not yet shipping and enhancements or modifications could be made.
