E-70 j) demo CS80 heart

Found this E-70 locally for CDN$150. Inside Yamaha E-70 CS-80 sound engine. The Electone E-70, E-50, E-75 (model 7000 in the US) all shared the PASS circuitry of the CS-80 synthesizer. Many same preset sound versions, with a sweepable filter. Lots of fun. I don't think folks are aware of what some home organs can do.

how much did you sell it for?

[FlametopFred]

@decatlon14 - - pretty close to what I bought it for - - meaning that I broke even, and I stayed true to keeping this cheap for everyone. You know what I mean? I think analogue gear should be cheap. Besides .... these are heavy. It's almost doing me a favour just to have guys come over to move it ... so, breaking even on the deal is fine by me.

[decatlon14]

by any chance are selling it?

[FlametopFred]

@decatlon14 - - sorry, already sold. Moved from larger place to small. Had to sell this and the E-75. Broke my heart! Now into the EL-40 and that 1990's range of Electones. Aiming for ELX-1 or ELS or EL-900 .... great instruments with MIDI. Cheers though . . and happy hunting!

I thought you were going to get a Galaxy. The Galaxy goes beyond the Yamahas in many areas. It's got a full programmable drum machine with battery backup with features that in some cases surpass a TR-808. It's got a full auto auto accompaniment unit that generates it's own bass, chord, and lead parts, in addition to an arpeggiator. All that stuff syncs to each other. There are two full tone sources, so you can have independent vibrato and glides on different sounds or stack and detune voices.

There is a Galaxy locally - - but I just moved and seriously, do not have the space. Otherwise ... yes, I would have. One needs tonal variation ... and a warehouse.

all right thanks for that information again.

@FlametopFred all right thanks for answering that

More Galaxy: Organ setups can be stored into electrically alterable ROM patch memory. You can remove those memory SIMMs to bring your patches to another Galaxy, or copy somebody elses patches onto them. There are two chorus/rotary speaker circuits, two special effects units, and two guitar units. The sinewave drawbar organ units go beyon a B3 with percussion drawbars, switches for different attack and decay rates, keyclick, not to mention a couple of extra drawbars, and 3 manuals. Galaxy rules!
