@storyhunter - - Not sure. For the most part, the Arpeggiators across similar-year models are ...well, similar. But there can be differences. The D-85 was a top-of-the-line model and had the most features. Hard to say without viewing the manual or seeing the models side-by-side. As for finding out what a model is, check out The Electone Museum online. They have a great resource.
@1770studios - - - could be. Mostly the electronics for all organs of one year of production were the same. But Yamaha would "disable" certain functions. So, depending on the price you paid, you got more (or less) features.
Lowrey Organ was the very first to come out with the auto Arpeggiator in the early 1970's with the famous Golden Harp. Then Kimball Organ company came out with their version with "The Pro Entertainer" and Baldwin with the Phantom Fingers. But both Hammond and Thomas had a sensitive touch strip as you did it manually. Hammond Arpeggiator and the Thomas Arpeggio Magic.
Very interesting. I am just now becoming fascinated by the history of Home Organs. For a while (late 1960's through the late 1970's) it was very competitive. Each company coming up with more and more features. Thomas organ would later of course build (or assemble) Yamaha 415 models in the USA. I think they also assembled the model 7000, 6000 and maybe a few others?
Me too. My synths and keyboard are all analogue. The camera is digital, as is the computer and internet that you and I are having this conversation on.
And cameras are so cheap now. Anyway, if you have some Mp3 of your music or analogue stuff I'd love to hear. Maybe you're selling CD's or vinyl pressings?
no the sounds are not realistic compared to samples - - and the labels don't really correspond. But they sound different and not too many people have used them. Plus they are so much fun to play. Cheers
Nice video, Nice organ, Nice demo. Enjoyed that, thanks.

I really wish i had a d-85, i think it's the best organ i´ve heard in my life though the sounds are not realistic. i like these vintage types!
