If that GX-1 belonged to me I would want the illusion of protection afforded by further layers of bubblewrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncadunc Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Wow. I didn't know about this piece of hardware. From Wikipedia: "The Yamaha GX-1, first released as Electone GX-707,[note 1] is an analog polyphonic synthesizer developed by Yamaha as a test bed for later consumer synths. ... The GX-1 console weighs 300 kg. The pedalboard and stand add 87 kg, and each of its tube-powered speakers, four of which can be connected to the GX-1, weighs 141 kg (Which together equals a total of 951 kg, or 2096 lb). The GX-1 cost $60,000 (compensated for Consumer Price Index inflation, that price equals $295,555 in 2010), and was premiered in the US in 1973 at the NAMM convention. The exact production number is unknown, but thought to total fewer than 100. At least 13 GX-1s are known to exist outside Japan, the remainder are presumed to have stayed in Japan."

LimpyLoo Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thing is definitely a beast. After having the privelege of playing a Yamaha CS-40M (I think that was the model) last year, I developed quite a fetish for the CS series. And of course this thing is like a demented big brother to the CS series. I have to say it is extremely painful to watch YouTube demos where people treat the thing like a little Casio rompler preset machine and they play like "Greensleeves" on a flute patch. I guess it's always a tad frustrating when people have amazing gear that they don't know how to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryancolecreate Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I saw a CS or some flavor for sale here for quite cheap a while back. Looks like it would be up your alley with minimal editing capability. :* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it would be up your alley with minimal editing capability. :* yeah if I was gonna get a CS I would want to get one of the poly's (probably the CS-50 as it's limited in the ways that I like gear to be limited). Either that or the extremely cheap CS-01. The one I played was a mono (CS-40m, actually 2-note polyphony I think) and as great as it was I don't want to own alot of gear so there's only room in my life for one mono.
