I remember that Yamaha actually came out with a modular arranger back in the late 80's or early 90's. I don't recall the model number but HankB had one and I played it some in his club.

Yep, the QY-series that started with the QY-10 in 1990, ended with the top model, the QY-700 around 2000.
Here is the QY-700.

I had a QY-300 here for a while...pretty slick.
