On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Yamaha synthesizer—which has remained consistently at the forefront of the music industry—we explore this innovative history, looking back on the products, technologies, and developments unique to each period.

We'd like to introduce the Full lineup of Yamaha Synthesizers. The rare products including released only in Japan or abroad, you can see all models in this Chronology.
