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.
