Here's last one from my collection: Yamaha E70-see video below. What You see in the pictures is completely modified Yamaha E70 in body and electronically into fully programmable synth which is basically consists now 2 polyphonic and 1 mono synths under the hood.After chop worth organ weights now around 130-140 lbs(Yamaha CS80 is 242lbs), so You can use regular XX-type heavy duty keyboard stand. It's been a while people talking about E70 which has same P.A.S.S technology like CS80 and electronics, all wiring are practically the same like CS80. Yes, E70 has absolutely the same analog filters like CS80, and it does sound like CS80. If You unlock those presets E70 becomes alive. This particular E70 has been modified from the organ into 2 and half fully programmable CS80 type synth. All presets still have same functions except FUNNYII preset green buttons. Those 3 green buttons(1 for upper, 1 for lower keyboard, 1 for pedal board or extra keyboard) function now differently. When You press FUNNY II E70 starts to work as most powerful and expensive programmable synth-Yamaha CS80. New control control panel has 3 sections: 1st for upper keyboard, 2nd for lower keyboard, 3rd for footpedal/or extra keyboard you can hook up. So after all this E70 has 2 polyphonic 7 voices 2 OCSs per voice CS80 synths and one monophonic 2 OCS per note synth (pedal or extra keyboard which can be connected to E70 is monophonic, it's perfect for bass lines and pretty good even for leads as far as You will move 2 OCS slider from 16' up to 4'). Oscillators can be detunes between each other and between keyboard. Does E70 sound like CS80?. Yes, it does. One of them: no velocity. BUT E70 has AFTERTOUCH. Also You can compensate this flaw by using the foot pedal to control the overall volume and the filter of the upper manual voices. That works quite well ,actually. Now about oscillators. - they are quite unusual for digital oscillators, because the waveforms aren't stored in digital form. According to PASS manual, the "Wave Memory" chips are actually DACs made of switched resistances that give them their response curve shaped into desired waveform (Saw, sine, square). On another hand You have 2 and half CS80 under the hood. You can build sound on upper keyboard and MIX IT with sound you built on lower keyboard. Also you can add organ/orchestral section(they all can be saved in memory-see small control panel on a botton of organ to left-very much the same look like on CS80) from upper keyboard AND organ/orchestral section from lower keyboard. Same thing can be done between lower polyphonic and monophonic keyboard/pedals: monosynth also can be played on first 2 octave of lower keyboard. Now You realize CS80 is kind of behind! PLUS very powerful arpeggiator! and even cheesy drum machine. ALSO, very stable in tune and no any problems with overheating!!! On a back of the organ: 1.SUSTAIN PEDAL for UPPER LEVEL. 2.SUSTAIN PEDAL for LOWER LEVEL. 3.MAIN OUTPUT 1 4.MAIN OUTPUT 2 individual outputs: 5.ATTACK UPPER keyboard 6.ORGAN UPPER 7.SYNTH UPPER 8.ATTACK LOWER keyboard 9.ORGAN LOWER 10.SYNTH LOWER 11.BASS pedal/MONOPHONIC synth 12. Connector for volume pedal. So as I mentioned You can mix up up to 7 different sounds in one with same polyphony 7 voices!!!! (or 5 sounds using monophonic section). You can adjust each sound section in induvidual way with individual effect processor! Not bad! Anyway, if you are still skeptical about what You read here, please check some INFO on line about unlocking Yamaha E70 and Yamaha CS80 both children of Yamaha GX1. And don't forget how much money you will save not buying CS80. Please check, read and watch all links below and You will see it's not a dream anymore. SEE VIDEO HERE . The organ will be well packed and crated. Expression pedal and power cord are included. I put flat rate only for US, international shipping quote will be higher,Of course local pick up is welcome. Volume pedal and power cord are included. tel 707-523-6233. You can see videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajar9aAFPs0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUVhMS7zQLo
