The Yamaha EX2 console estimates around 400-500 lbs, with the bench alone weighing 102.4 lbs, indicating a robust and heavy build.

Owners suggest the EX2 might weigh over 700 lbs with all components; moving it requires multiple people due to its bulk and weight.

The EX2 can be modded into a synthesizer organ, similar to the E70, with available documentation like "Son of GX" for guidance.

The EX2 lacks direct control over resonance or envelopes but has analog synth architecture with "Bright" controls acting as filter cutoffs.

It's noted that the EX2 has an early digital generator, not a VCO, offering a unique sound profile compared to other synths.

The Yamaha EX2 includes a "symphonic chorus" switch that produces rich, swirling sounds similar to Joy Division's string textures.

The E75 adds string and vocal ensemble sections and a different drum machine to the E70's base features.

The touch vibrato function may not work on all EX2 units, as some owners have reported difficulties in activating this feature.

The EX2's digital oscillators can simultaneously generate saw, square, pulse, and multiple sine waves, making it versatile for creating complex sounds.

The EX-2 Electone was used in Metronomy's song “The Look,” highlighting its capability for producing distinctive sounds.

Although similar in appearance, the EX2 is not a "CS-80 organ" and features a different internal setup, being more akin to a digital generator model like the CS01.

The E70, E75, EX1, and EX2 models are polyphonic synthesizers with digital oscillators, offering richer sound and polyphonic filtering compared to the D80 and D85 models.

The D85, though superficially similar, has different hardware and lacks the polyphonic filtering of the E70/E75 series.

The EX-2 Electone is often compared to the GX-1 due to its similar size and shape, but is considered less remarkable despite having unique sounds.

Originally costing $26K in the 80s, adjusted for inflation, the EX2's value is roughly equivalent to $100K today.
