Frequencyilodulation

t,
For almost a century Yamaha has been
in the puisuit of the highest
f.trg"g.d
possible sound quality in musical instruments. This has ied Yimaha to a firm belief
in the inestimable value of conducting its
own research and development as well as
fabricating each integral part of every
instrument it manufactures. The result of
Yamaha's unique "do-it-yourself" philosophy is that it can set a blistering pace in
developing and, more importantly, applying new technologies for sound generation.
Nowhere is Yamaha's successmore apparent

than in the higNy complexand challenging

field of electronic organs. And no organs
are more representativeof Yamaha's
successin establishingnew perforrnance
standardsthan the new FX Series.

About FM Tone Generation

In searchingfor a better way to generate
a wide variety of sounds, ranging from
the nafural tones of acoustic instrummts
to space-ageelectronic sounds,Yamaha
decidedthat the frequency modulation
(FM) systemwould best serve the purpose. Yamaha'ssystemis basedon the
sameprinciple used for FM broadcasting.

lZamaha's near-century of organ making

I experience is studded with a long list of
unique accomplishments. During the past
decade, in particular, Yamaha has gained
an unqualified reputation for technical
innovation that has strongly contributed to
its present standing as the best-selling
organ manufacturer in the world. With the
appearance of the new FX Series organs,
Yamaha takes another two giant steps
ahead of the industry. The first, of course,
is the introduction of the exciting new
"living sound" FAM System. The second
is the development of the touch-sensitive
you Touch Tone and
organ key-bringing
Touch Vibrato-a remarkable achievement
that may very well change forever the
world's perception of the organ.

both in volume and timbre. The more

pressureyou apply to the keyboard, the
morebrilliant the timbre andthelouderthe
volume of the notes you play.
Yamaha'sTouch Tone feature is exceedinglysophisticatedinavariety of ways.
First, it offers keyboard responsethrough
about 200 gradations,meaningthat were
your fingers as sensitiveas the in-built
measuringdevices,you could achieve
roughly 200different volume levelsthrough

TOUCH TONE
With TouchTone,the FX models'key-

has termed this new feature Touch Tone

Second,Touch

voicesis distinctly different, enabling
more realistic torial contrasis.
Touch Tone adds striking new phrasing

a brilliant device which brings the art of
the organist into a new era of playing

by converting the organ keyboard from
