1977 Yamaha D85 Electone Organ Vintage Analog Synthesizer Keyboard – GX-1 CS-80 CS-50 Style D-85 Console Synth w/ PASS Technology, Chopped & Studio Ready

– For your consideration is this vintage 1977 Yamaha D85 Electone organ.
– Modified and chopped by a pro tech into what you witness here, the current organ weight is around 100 lbs. (Yamaha YC-45 is 136 lbs., CS80 290 lbs., D85 is purportedly over 300 lbs.).
– The Yamaha D85 is effectively the same as E-70 model, with the addition of; a rhythm sequencer, digital tempo readout, more rhythm variations, as well as, Vocal and String Ensembles and 3rd keybed as a synth! You can mix not only different waves, but mix keybeds. The 3rd small keyboard has phenomenal synth sounds by itself plus AFTERTOUCH! The small monophonic synth is effectively the same as a CS-50.
– When one mixes the sounds of 2 orchestral presets and active orchestral waves it produced absurdly rich and fat analog synth sounds. You can also mix the 2nd and lower keyboard in any possible way and even to add bass pedal orchestral sounds.
– The D85 was top-of-the-line home console model that used Yamaha’s “Pulsed Analog Synthesis System” (PASS) to create more lifelike sounding instruments. PASS took technology from the GX-1 and incorporated it into a consumer model instrument. The ramifications revolutionized the organ industry. Instruments voices began evolving towards emulating the true orchestral instruments rather than theater organ equivalents. The exact same technology applied to Famous Yamaha CS80. Strings and voices beat ARP Solina and probably better then on CS80, and most certainly superior to the YC series including YC30 or YC 45D.
– Unit has also arpeggiator in 6 variations, sequencer, hold effect and tons of other feature included stupid drum machine. Yamaha D85 is certainly better than YC 45D and this particular one even weights less on 30 lbs.
