Yamaha created the first hardware implementation of FM synthesis. [4] The first commercial FM synthesizer was the Yamaha GS1, released in 1980, [5] which was expensive to manufacture due to its integrated circuit chips. [4] At the same time, Yamaha was developing the means to manufacture very-large-scale integration chips.
GX-1 (1973/1975–1982) — 1st polyphonic synthesizer of Yamaha, released as Electone electronic organ SY series SY-1 (1974, solo part of GX-1, monophonic synth with initial/after touch)
The Yamaha CS-15 is a monophonic analog synthesizer produced by Yamaha from 1979 to 1982. [4] In the CS series, the CS-5, CS-10, CS-30 and CS-30L were similar in sound, structure and design. The CS-5 and CS-10 had a single oscillator and one multimode filter, whereas the CS-15, CS-30 and CS-30L each had two oscillators that could be routed in ...

The Yamaha DX5 is a derivative of the DX1, introduced in 1985 with a list price of US$3,495. It has the same synth engine, but lacks the DX1's fully weighted keys, polyphonic aftertouch, aesthetics (rosewood case and wooden keyboard), and user interface features (parameter displays).
The Yamaha DX9 is a spin off synthesizer of the family of the DX7 built by Yamaha. It uses FM synthesis [ 6 ] and has 16 note polyphony; however, it only has four FM operators for sound generation compared with six on the DX7 (without alternative firmware ROM). [ 7 ]
The Yamaha GX-1, first released as Electone GX-707, [a] [3] is an analog polyphonic synthesizer developed by Yamaha as a test bed for later consumer synths and Electone series organs for stage and home use. The GX-1 has four synthesizer "ranks" or three manuals, called Solo, Upper, and Lower, plus Pedal, and an analog rhythm machine. [2]
MIDI, a standardized means of synchronizing electronic instruments, was introduced in 1982 and remains an industry standard. The Yamaha DX7, launched in 1983, was a major success and popularized digital synthesis. Software synthesizers now can be run as plug-ins or embedded on microchips.
