Reiko Kashiwagi also recorded a version of the music "Dream of Dreams" *where we can hear her singing a duet with singer Seiji Ohta,* in her album "Dimanche".
I will bet my right arm that this is recorded 90% on the FX-1. The sax being the last 10% All other sounds are the organ. Reiko visited Denmark and gave a hell of a demonstration of the new FS and FX-line when they were introduced. Still remember she played a live version of Al jarreau's Mornin' and all were blown away that the Organ sounded like 90% true to the record. Made me use all my money on an FS-70 :) Had a cassette bootleg of the concert that I saved for many years .. tho it is sadly lost now :(
And sad thing is that these was the last "Real" organs Yamaha ever made. The Spacey looking FX-1 and the "classic" organ in Real Wood cabinet (think the FS-70 was 122kg .. my back remembers). The next HS and HX series was kinda a joke to listen to (and look at) .. even they had sampled sounds. The FS/FX series is the best sounding Organs Yamaha ever made with the exception of the AR100 and maybe the newest Stagelinea wich sadly looks like somthing put together by a poor mans plumber ... wich propably is why Yamaha only dare market them in Asia :p
@@mrdali67 the wooden cabinet version of the FX-1 is the FX-20, which yours truly here does own one unit in very good condition btw, with only a few repairable / serviceable flaws and less than that in the cosmetic department ... :-) reportedly, the only major difference between the two, FX-1 and FX-20, is that the former (aside from being, or rather, 'looking' portable) has 2 oscillators while the latter has only one ... and it's only 8-notes polyphonic, which makes me think maybe the FX-1 could be 16-notes polyphonic perhaps? only 200 units of one of these two guys, possibly the FX-1, was made at the time, in 1983, for a mere $20`000 per each unit ... (compare that to the super fabulous GX-70 model of 1975, sold at $50`000, and only 50 units made ...) the other difference is that FX-20's flute registers section drawer is underneath front left, like most Yamaha models with a similar feature ... while FX-1's is on top left of the first keyboard as can be seen in the pictures here as well ... and it has a different type of tiny keys in that drawer, possibly with some other controls too?! there are three Leslie connector sockets on the bottom back of the FX-20, one for a genuine Leslie, and two for two special Yamaha rotary speaker units ... there is also one small rotary speaker unit plus at least three fix speakers inside the cabinet as well as far as i can recall when i first got it two years ago (for free!) and opened up the back out of curiosity to see what's there ... and it's well more than 200Kgs (400+lbs) btw ... the pedal section alone is 20Kgs! (can probably find its manual online for details if you like ... i do have the manual, which is only a few to several pages yet containing thorough information ...) it also came with 4 memory cartridges for its registers btw ... as hinted already, it was totally for FREE from someone who was giving it away when they had to move to a smaller place where only their huge Steinway grand piano could enjoy a room of its own ... they had got it for free as well ... it did cost me more than $150 to rent a U-HAUL truck though, to move it from Los Angeles, California, USA, to my place about 40 miles away down south ... (i did that almost totally on my own! imagine me, a 61-years young man at the time, hauling that huge and heavy beast almost all by myself ... man, i could have broken both the beautiful organ itself as well as my own bones while doing it you know!) ;-) have already seen someone selling one FX-20 for $5`000 locally ... it's in a very bad shape though, as if left under sunshine and rain for years! saw another one for $400, but this one seems to be in a much better condition ... as for mine, i'm just trying my best so i'll never have to sell it really! i just love to keep and enjoy playing it at times ... and when the time comes at last, i'd love to give it away to someone who'd take a really good care of it before i die ... i do have a likely candidate or two already btw ... :-)
I am not perfectly aware of the actual specs of the sound generation, but each sound section ( orch, piano, solo ) is equal to a 4 op. Fm generator. Thats 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 for the upper, lower, bass and solo manual wich equals 8 DX-21 + the organ parts. Not sure if the organ/flute section is also FM generators. Theoretically they dont need midulators just a carrier for pure sinus sound ( plus the percussion). So you have much more than 8 notes polyphonic. A Friiend baught the FS- 30, and Yamaha did cheap out a bit on the lower end FS models. The flute section on the FS-30 was not nearly as good as my FS-70, and it was not only because of the more beefier PA in the FS-70 wich was about 2x 50w + 90w center. As I recal the FS 70 weighed around 125kg so a couple modified Piano braces was needed to haul at around
5 big pan cakes with strawberry, black berry jam and grated cheese and banana, and 5 hot bowl cappuccino ala crèma and one wholepiece Blackforest tart with chocolate mousse served with the delicious Nürnberger Lebkuchen (ginger bread) for this beautiful classic hit! And one 0.75l bottle sweet Franconian wine for the FX-1!
If I wasn't looking at that awesome bit of post organ technology I'd probably think this music was gagging me.The progression of organ design was a complete one that ended in about 1981 or 1982. This video is demonstrating what we might call a vintage digital keyboard disguised as an organ. Some people might think it was some kind of an accross the board shift toward this kind of crappy sounding voicing because the general public was tired of organs. IF 1 can play 1 then 1 never gets tired of 1
1970年代生まれの世代にとって、FX1のサウンドは、お洒落で洗練された未来の音色だった。
今でもそんな気分がよみがえる素敵な演奏。

HX-1、FX-1懐かしいですね！いろんな思い出があります。
The music is like 30+ years I think but to this day I still love it :) So timeless...
Yes, elevators of the past, present, and future all have need for timeless muzak.
on it's era, yamaha electone fx1 is the mothership of all synth, the testbed of the another legendary cs-80
INCREDIBLE

is this what heaven sounds like
really love this arrangement with saxophone, drums, synthesizer, guitar and percussion
Agreed. Great sounds. FX-20s are cheap in the USA, about a few hundred bucks at the most. Wish I had the room and of course the talent to play one.

@ElectonePlayer LOL! I'll never fit into any airline seat after that if I decide to come to Germany!
Buenos días sr profesor, dónde venden esa maravilla de instrumento musical, ayúdeme con la información
