Four Yamaha DX1s on the Bay

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

Three sets of pics from three auctions. First set (SN 1145) via this auction, second via this auction, and third via this auction. There's a fourth listed here (pics previously captured here).  Click through to see what each is going for and remember you can search the archives for DX1 auction to what others have gone for.

DX1s are an interesting beast.  There is no doubt they are extremely powerful synths and the pinnacle of the DX line, but their 6-OP FM sound engines are available in other forms.  Aside from the obvious DX-7, DX-200 and Native Instruments FM-7, there is also the  FS1R which is 8-Op FM plus Formant synthesis.

The case reminded me of a reverse EMS VC3S aka "The Putney" case.

ELECTRO HARMONIX SEQUENCER

via this auction

"Vintage Electro Harmonix Sequencer Drum analog sequencer pedal. This is one of the rarest EH pedals from their drum and sequencer series (ie. this is not a guitar pedal). A unique design ideally intended for use with any of the DRM machines, or any other drum/electronic units with triggers. This is a second version V2 model with additional clock controls, and features green graphics for the front letters and numbers on the display panel.

Features an 8-step sequencer, with Trigger In, Clock In (for control by an external source), Clock Out, CV Out, Audio Out plus Clock/Pad slider switch for selecting either Pad control (piezo under leather front strip) or the inputted Clock source. Full working condition, including the pad - although it's probably not quite as sensitive as it would have originally been - and great physical condition as pictured. It is missing one of the colored slider caps, though the slider is still easy to use without it. Please note, this is a hardwired 220VAC unit with European plug attached. There are many compact and low priced step-up transformers around for using this with 110-120V. We also have an EH Clockworks Rhythm Generator/Synthesizer available in our other listings."

"This is a very nice original LinnDrum, very few signs of use. This is the drummachine that defined the 80's and earned it's place in the line of classic music machines! You know what it sounds like.. This one is special because it was professionally modded with some very useful functions:

- Tuning for all instruments. (On a stock Linn you can only tune a few sounds)
- Filter cutoff on Bass kick (analog Curtis VCF)
- Filter cutoff on Toms and Conga's (analog Curtis VCF)

The mods really open up the machine and give you new sounds / drum sets. Regarding the tuning: this is applied only to the instruments which couldn't be tuned before so you can use this AND tune the Snare, Toms or Congas different! :-) Very nice. As with all Linns the transformer hums a bit (not in the audio signal)."
