Well, if this Electone is the "home" version of the GX-1, at least it does by rough
appearance, then you need only listen to Emerson, Lake, & Palmer Works Vol.1 to get
an idea of the sounds. Particularly, "Fanfare for the Common Man" and "Pirates".
Stevie Wonder also used the GX-1 heavily on "Songs in the Key of Life".
Check the AH archives for some discussion on the GX-1. There was a reference to an
article in SOS, available online, that went into great detail about the GX-1 and the
related Electones. I do recall that programming new sounds was not trivial.
However, there were a number of editable parameters available on the presets.
Good Luck!
