Alex Payler and the ELX1-M

Star Electone Player Alex Payler has just taken delivery of YAMAHA’s top of the range flagship Electone Organ, the ELX-1m. Only one of two outside of Japan, this incredible instrument is believed by many to be the finest
Instrument YAMAHA has ever made. Boasting a breathtaking specification even larger than that of the EL-900m it is complete with two 61 Note Manuals and 25 note Radiating Polyphonic Pedalboard, all housed in a futuristic white Cabinet designed for the Stage.

Revolutionary ‘Horizon’ Touch Keyboards, Virtual Acoustic Synthesis, the best in YAMAHA’s AWM/FM sound shaping technology, XG and GM Compatibility and Micro-tuning for each individual voice are just a few features of the ELX-1m’s remarkable specification. Alex comments: “It’s an absolute thrill to have been chosen to have this very rare and special instruments. You simply feel on top of the world when you sit ‘aboard’ it and play”. Had this Electone been released outside of Japan, it could have cost anything from £30,000 upwards, following in the footsteps of the original ELX-1 released back in the 1990’s.

Alex still plans to complete most of his concert touring using the EL-900m but will be performing on the ELX-1m for a number of select performances throughout the year until finally performing on the ELX-1m permanantly. For more information, check out his website…www.alexpayler.com
