Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Yamaha wasn't even remotely the first manufacturer of digital 
synths... ;)

Ok, the Synclavier (late 70s) had analog filters, but other than that 
it was an FM- and Additive-Synthesis Synth...

The PPG Wavecomputer 360 was pure digital (no filters), built 1978...

Still, it was the first wavetable synth but probably not the first 
digital synth...
