$2,900 · Yamaha DX5 Vintage FM Synthesizer

I've got a Yamaha DX5 from the 80's that I have had forever and alas, I must part ways. It's been a special one for me. It's in very sweet condition! All the lights and switches work well. It comes with the original manual, possibly original power cord (this is the one I got when I bought it), 4 cartridges (2 original DX5, 1 original DX7, and 1 RAM DX Cartridge), and new mahogany (circa 1978) end pieces that I made. The original end pieces are pretty scuffed up and I enjoyed making these myself. Looks nice! There are a few light scratches and some underneath. . Please ask ANY questions. I am always happy to answer anything. If you're in Vancouver or Seattle etc, we can plan to meet at the ferry in Swartz Bay - All the Output and MIDI are working. - The ROM and RAM DATA are working. - Original bank are available with the 2 cartridges A and B. - There is some special data saved in the internal memory. - You can load any preset you want with the sysex files available on the web. SPECS: Dual programmable 6-operator 32-algorithm digital FM tone generators. Independent 8-parameter envelope generator for each operator. 32-voice x 2 internal RAM memory. 64 internal RAM performance memories, each storing a combination of voice and performance functions. Dual cartridge slots for ROM cartridges containing 64 voices or user-programmable 32-voice RAM cartridges. ROM or RAM cartridges storing data for the 64 performance memory locations can also be used. Independent audio outputs for each tone generator channel. Single, Dual, and Split play modes. 76 keys with velocity and after-touch sensitivity. 32-note polyphonic output in SINGLE play mode. Sustain footswitch, portamento footswitch, volume and modulation foot controllers, and breath controller inputs. MIDI IN, OUT and THRU terminals. MIDI send and receive channels independently programmable for each tone generator channel. This synth is one of the most powerful in the FM synthesis world (short of the DX1 that will practically bankrupt you), and is also a rare piece of gear for the collectors. This one is is in very nice condition ! $2900 OBO Thanks so much for looking!
