Yes indeed. The GX-1 used the same analogue voice architecture (at least in its two polyphonic sections) as the CS-60 and CS-80 polysynths. Yamaha's first digital instrument was the GS-1, which used digital FM. It was a hugely expensive preset instrument (with a magnetic card reader for aditional sounds) housed in a grand piano-like polished wood case. Within two years an affordable, portable, roadworthy and completely programmable version with a new feature called MIDI was on the market. Its name? The Yamaha DX-7.
