Actually, the 1000 series by Kurzweil can do this too, though it can get a lot more granular with it because it can do slightly different sounds on each note of the octave, assuming you're up for programming that much. But it seems to be from a particular time in synth design.

Just an endorsement for the TX802, FWIW.

I bought a new one in 1988. Still got it.

I bought a second one in 1992. Still got it.

The TX802 has a note number response setting of ‘even’ or ‘odd’. When running two units in even/odd mode, the difference is amazing and satisfying. It’s not layering like any other keyboard does. It’s “interleaving” at a note/chord level and it’s amazingly musical.

Often layering is with some completely disparate sounds (string-piano, for example), which is fine and it works, but where the TX802 really shines for me is with close-but-not-quite-the-same patches played in even/odd mode. Even the same patch detuned on one unit can create some stunning highlights.

Don’t know if any other modules or workstations do such a thing. I would think by now it would be commonplace but have heard no one crow about it on any other feature review. It may have stopped with the TX802 – dunno.

So that’s like 6U of rack space that is basically a permanent fixture in my rig.

Hi All,

I've been paring down my gear lately, and thought I'd pass these items by the list before going to eBay or Reverb.

* Yamaha TX802 -- I have THREE of these synths. I'm keeping one for my own use. This one is in fully working condition. Physical condition is about 8.5/10 by my picky standards: minimal scratches/nicks on front, back, top, and bottom; menu pullouts are still in place and working; the only major issue is that the original owner shortened the power cord to about 1 ft (0,3m). I don't know the age of the battery: I'll replace it before the final sale, just to be safe. Looking to get $400 + shipping. I will ship almost anywhere

* Yamaha TX802 -- I bought this one as a spare/parts. It comes up with a partially corrupt display, and fails the self-test with "TEST 01 - RAM IC8 Error!" Scrolling through the self-tests and other menus, it seems like most of the functionality is OK; but the failing RAM causes corrupt display characters and references to sounds in the (non-loaded) memory cartridge. I don't know if this is an easy fix, or something more involved. Physical condition is 8/10 -- except the pullout menus are gone. I'd like to get $175 + shipping; offers will be considered.

* Yamaha RAM5 -- genuine item, with original box. I have a PDF of the brief owners' manual. I've seen two different versions of a 'AM5' online lately: this is the one with a Multi-Bank Mode switch on the front, and three more switches on the top for manual bank selection and memory protect. Everything works, including Multi-Bank Mode with a TX802. Physical condition is a 9/10. I'd like to get $75 + shipping.


Please email me directly with questions.
