Wasn't one of those GX?GS types the one used by Keith Emerson on the live "Fanfare for a common man video"?

I love the ending solo on that (about 5mins in).

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.
