You missed some! You forgot the YS-100 = 4 operator / 8 waveform multimbral
keyboard with digital effects and the YS-200 = YS-100 with 8 track
sequencer. Both tried to hide the complexities of programming FM behind a
dodgy interface - you couldn't directly select the algorithm for instance,
you had to choose an existing voice and edit it with such strange parameters
as "brightness".

jezz.
