Yamaha FX-1 FM based organ 

Still sound very nice

I was extremely lucky as a child to have an FX-3 back in the early 90s at home to learn on. The moving sliders was a wow feature, although several of them stopped functioning on our organ over time and we had to have them repaired. My parents were kind enough to let me have the organ at home including the giant TX1 speaker cabinet (only 1 on the FX-3). This organ will always hold a special place in my heart, although of course it was superseded quickly technically.

Thank you very much for this excellent demostration.

I remember this. I worked for a company that sold these, as well as a number of Yamaha and Casio keyboards. One of the things that the FX series had was a Floppy Drive accessory, where you could load what amounted to MIDI files, although General MIDI had not yet been implemented. I believe it also had the capability of using a small EPROM cartridge, although that might not have been until the later HX-1.

Amazing instrument, and an excellent demonstration and playing. Well done sir.

very rare indeed and such a magnificent instrument

love the rhythm patterns! thanks for sharing

I need a Yamaha synth organ in my life

What a beautiful instrument!! Great for gathering a 3 piece band with a killing drummer and a singer- bass player

My organ from Yamaha! I had always wanted one of these, I love the style and design, as well as the sounds. Auto accompaniment were great!

I had a FX20 , still have my HX1

Thanks for this video! I really like the FS/FX Electone series organs so much! Miss the little solo keyboard at the top too! Sigh...if only I had an FX triple manual Electone organ at home....Although I have an Electone Stagea at home, I personally feel that all Electone models are UNIQUE....!

You are a lucky man to own one!

Well, the YC-61 has better effects (and samples). What a lovely piece of hardware. Gotta love the 40 year old build quality. This would have been an amazing kit to have in a studio then.

Great walk through!

real nice electric organ

Enjoyed the demo. I used to own (and still play) a Yamaha 415 (D85). I can see similarities in the two instruments.

omg. you really had me when i saw the motorized faders.. awesome! now i really want it! :D my first organ at the age of 7 in the 80s was a tiny electone MC-200, which also used FM technology. but it was very limited in its capabilities, no sound editing, no dynamic keyboard aaaand NO MIDI :( ... so i traded it for a SY55 some years later (i still have it). but i remember that my organ teacher had a photo of an organ that looked quite like this FX-1 in her office... maybe i should start some research if she still exists ;) .. and that organ of course ;D

first time seeing one 😮

owned one of these it was great at the time

What a monster

Are you sure the percussion is sampled? I'm pretty sure they were using FM for the percussion sounds too, as this organ predates AWM, which came in with the HX-1, HS, HE, HC series.

Damn I want that Organ, I like this style well at least I got a Yamaha DX7 from 1983

Holly Cow! I had never seen one of these. My word. You could set this up on 3 midi keyboards today for under 2k! Hahaha! $35,000 for this. And now it's worth maybe what? 2k.

Great demo, and I'm really glad you've put this together. I've got an FX-3, which I love, and two TX-1s. I'm wondering if you can help figure out what the differences are between the FX-3 and FX-1. Here's what I know so far: FX-1 adds a few additional patches (e.g., Brass 3, Hawaiian Guitar) and the upper/lower couplers, but I think it loses the Play Assist feature. Other than that, they seem to be pretty identical. As an aside, I'm adding a MIDI clock sync to an E-70 soon and hope to do the same to the FX-3.

Amazing sounds you can do with these Yamaha Chips. Better controllable and cheaper with a DX7 and some guitar pedals afterwards.

Buenos días sr profesor, dónde venden estos instrumentos musicales? Favor publicar la dirección del proveedor

I've got an FX-10 and it needs some help electronically. The presets and some sliders do not work quite right. Any hope of help with fixing it up?

hello, how can one find out suppliers of Yamaha FS70 ready for shipping

Yamaha FX-1, it's evol! nothing compared to my DX-100 or TQ-5, maybe i'll use two or three keyboards thru a merger box with the TQ the next day to imitate the FX-1 after your video

Is this the same generation as the "US-1" ? I sourced one of those for a friend's social club, fabulous machine.

What's the difference between the FX1, FX3, FX10 and FX20?

Any idea on original pricing?

I never liked the sound of the FM series as it all sounded tinney to the ear. I have an EX-42 and would never part from it.

If ever a instrument needed a virtuous/Keith Emerson too really bring out pretentual
