Why aren't other Yamaha analog's desirable?

$500 will get you most of the GX-1's sound production. It's got the same LPF/HPF modules per voice and its polyphonic analog with lots of odd extras. Ok, it's not a GX-1, but it's not $200,000 either.

Wow, that looked nice. Went for so cheap too (local pick-up only though).

 

I think other older Yamaha analog's are very desirable. Unless I don't understand what you're asking.. constantly seeing CS-#'s and CS-#M's for sale, people snatching them up, all over the place.

Yah aparently. $560. I mean, good lord. That thing has the same basic synthesis engine as a GX-1/CS-80. Same oscillators and filters, just different supporting bits. And it went for the cost of a Microkorg.

Pickup only from Buttfuck Illinois, but yeah. Someone got teh score.

 

Even if you just held on to it and waited for someone who owns a $100,000 GX1 to have a voice failure... then ream the shit out of them :)

Some guy out there had a voice module blow on his SY-1 (same voice modules as the CS/GX/EX), and reversed engineered it after melting the epoxy off of it, and has the know how and schematics to make as many more as you want.

Here it is - shows his brand new GX/CS/EX/SY voice modules.

Jesus christ the more I look into this the more I regret not bidding on it. I could have made it to Dundee and back in 2 days.
