HX modular section.


While surfing the Internet I found the following picture, which visually explains the HX
modularity idea. As seen from it, one could start with an economy budget HX configuration
(like HX-3 or 5) and climb up to the full HX-1 system-1:

Choose from three tone generators: You can choose from two different
HX-1 includes seven FM tone generators (two kinds of double manual keyboards:
16-operator monophonic, three 8-operator MKX-5 61 keys, initial and after touch
polyphonic, two 4-operator polyphonic) and response; knee lever ,rhythm controls,
two AWM tone generators (one monophonic, 16 registration memories, RAM pack
and one polyphonic). system, pitch wheel, modulation wheel.
HX-3 includes seven FM tone generators (two MKX-4 (not shown) 49-keys, initial and
8- operator monophonic, five 4-operator after touch response, knee lever, rhythm
polyphonic), and two AWM tone generators controls, 16 registration memories, RAM

HX-5 includes seven FM tone generators (two Choose from four different keyboard amplifiers:
8- operator monophonic, three 4-operator KA-40 350W x 1 and 250W x 1

one AWM tone generator (monophonic). KA-20 100W x 1
KA-10 30W x 1
Each employs Yamaha's newly developed
digital processing for the organ combination
