Electone Programmer ?

[FlametopFred]

Maybe some of the chaps here that used to work for Yamaha will know
if there are any old Programmers around? The GX-1 has that extra
box that is the synthesizer programmer. I wondered if there was
something like that for the other PASS organs? It might even be
an old computer from like 1978 or so. Just wondering what the old
technology was and whether anything like that still exists.</p>

My enthusiasm is only matched by my naivity.</p>

Re: Electone Programmer ?



The GX-1 is just a collection of synthesizers in an organ-like console, it's not a PASS organ or any other type of organ for that matter. So, it needs to be programmed and that box was a useful tool. Organs, on the other hand,are not like synthesizers that need to be programmed. So, there is no 'box' for programming any Yamaha organs, whether they arePASS or digital. You can set them up and store the settings on various types of disk drive (now mainly unobtainable) but that's it. You can't re-programme them.</P>


I do admire your enthusiasm for all matters technical with these old Yamahas, Flametop, but you are asking them to be things that they are not, and trying to get them to do things that they just can't do. They simply weren't designed that way.</P>
