Tascam, Marantz, Yamaha, Teac, Denon, Sony, and JVC are among the companies still manufacturing cassette decks in relatively small quantities for professional and niche market use.

In 2001, Caterham designated MG Rover the sole engine supplier for factory-built Sevens, with Ford Zetec, Honda Fireblade, Yamaha Firebird and Suzuki Hayabusa engines still available for kit assembly.

In Canada though, there are still three models that Yamaha manufactures that are still two-stroke.

Yamaha is also a key player in the " four-stroke wars ", which are a series of advertisements from opponent Ski-Doo who claim their E-tec and power-tec equipped two-strokes are still cleaner and more efficient than four-strokes, while Yamaha still claims the four-strokes are cleaner.

Most snowmobiles are still powered by two-stroke engines, although Alpina Snowmobiles and Yamaha have been using four-strokes respectively since 2002 and 2003.

Nitzer Ebb's musical weapons of choice included the Roland SH-101, a WASP synth, the Roland System 100, the Sequential Pro-One, the classic Oberheim Xpander, and the Yamaha TX81Z, and with this arsenal of analogue, digital FM, and extremely large modular synthesizers, created a sound that still stands up today.

Yamaha Motor is no longer the main club sponsor, but links between them and the club are still present and referred to.

His other guitars include a Cherry Red Gibson SG, a Green Custom Jazzbird, a Green Jazzmaster ( which he destroyed at Feeder's headline set at Download 2005 and later said he regretted it, but still has the neck to make a new guitar with ), a Gibson Firebird, a custom ESP " Gibstang ", a Sunburst Gibson J-200 Acoustic and a natural finish Yamaha acoustic ( for recording ).

While still in production, the Road Star platform spawned other motorcycles for Yamaha including:

Now in the twilight of his career, injuries and age have taken a toll on Nakayama's skills but he still remains a favorite of the Jubilo faithful, as evidenced by the fact that he draws the loudest cheers by far from the home crowd at Yamaha Stadium when his name is announced during warm-ups or when he comes on as a substitute.

Applications ranged from the Supersport YZF-R6 and YZF-R1 models using electronic fuel injection with YCCT and YCCI to the less extreme but still powerful Yamaha FZ6 and FZ1 Fazer line, using a simpler fuel injection designs but essentially the same basic engine design.

He won the 500cc World Championship with Honda in 2001, the MotoGP World Championships ( also with Honda ) in 2002 and 2003, and continued his streak of back-to-back championships by winning the 2004 and 2005 titles after leaving Honda to join Yamaha, before regaining the title in 2008 and retaining it in 2009.

Yamaha continued producing two-stroke engines until it launched the XS-1 in 1969, with a 650 cc two-cylinder four-stroke engine, using expertise that it gained doing engine development work for Toyota.

Following its success there, Yamaha continued to stage subsequent IEF finals in other cities around the world including Hamburg, Toronto, Paris, Hong Kong, Mexico and Singapore before returning to its home in Japan.

After having won the national championship in 1974, Roberts faced an increasingly difficult battle in dirt track races as, Harley-Davidson continued to improve their XR-750 dirt tracker while Yamaha struggled to maintain the pace.

Doi studied children's culture at, but she also continued to study music at the Yamaha Music Foundation.

He continued to ride for Yamaha in.

Software Synth developers such as Arturia offer virtual editions of analog synths like the Minimoog, the ARP 2600, as well as the Yamaha GS20.

In 1984, he accepted an offer to ride for the newly formed Kenny Roberts Yamaha squad in the 250cc class of the Grand Prix World Championship.

Developed by Yamaha, Sega intended to use the format to curb piracy common to standard compact discs and to offer increased storage capacity.

Lawson accepted an offer from Yamaha to contest the 500cc World Championship as Kenny Roberts ' team-mate for the 1983 season.

Yamaha RD 350

The frame dimensions of the street 350 were very similar to the famous Yamaha TZ250 and TZ350 series factory road race bikes, differing mainly in weight and front fork rake-the RD being ~ 27 degrees and the TZ being ~ 25 degrees.

This prompted Yamaha to bring a detuned version of the RD 350 LT ( low torque ) which had 27 bhp with better pick up but less top speed & slightly better mileage.

The RD was fully imported in earlier models but by 1990 the bike was manufactured completely by Escorts Yamaha in India.

Finally the RD 350 was discontinued by Yamaha in 1990 after years of frustration.

The RD also featured “ Torque Induction ” ignition technology of Yamaha.

It can additionally refer to airplanes or motor vehicles, such as IndyCars, where teams are required to meet certain specifications such as vehicle weight, engine displacement, weight, fuel capacity, and a variety of other factors are measured and regulated, or classes limited to a single make, such as the Yamaha RD Cup.

One modern example of such an ascending valve is the Yamaha YSL-350C trombone, in which the extra valve tubing is normally engaged to pitch the instrument in Bb, and pressing the thumb lever removes a whole step to pitch the instrument in C. Valves require regular lubrication.

CD-R recording systems available in 1990 were similar to the washing machine-sized Meridian CD Publisher, based on the two-piece rack mount Yamaha PDS audio recorder costing $ 35, 000, not including the required external ECC circuitry for data encoding, SCSI hard drive subsystem, and MS-DOS control computer.

John Chowning's work on FM synthesis from the 1960s to the 1970s allowed much more efficient digital synthesis, eventually leading to the development of the affordable FM synthesis-based Yamaha DX7 digital synthesizer, released in 1983.

In addition to the Yamaha DX7, the advent of inexpensive digital chips and microcomputers opened the door to real-time generation of computer music.

In 1975, the Japanese company Yamaha licensed the algorithms for frequency modulation synthesis ( FM synthesis ) from John Chowning, who had experimented with it at Stanford University since 1971.

Yamaha's engineers began adapting Chowning's algorithm for use in a commercial digital synthesizer, adding improvements such as the " key scaling " method to avoid the introduction of distortion that normally occurred in analog systems during frequency modulation, though it would take several years before Yamaha release their FM digital synthesizers.

In 1980, Yamaha eventually released the first FM digital synthesizer, the Yamaha GS-1, but at an expensive retail price of $ 16, 000.

Introduced in 1983, the Yamaha DX7 was an early all digital synthesizer that obtained relatively broad commercial success.

Cheney's most noted successes were in the Grand Prix road racing championships, with Phil Read using his chassis in tandem with a Yamaha engine to win the 1971 250cc world championship.

Over the years, Lee's keyboards have featured synthesizers from Oberheim ( Eight-voice, OB-1, OB-X, OB-Xa ), PPG ( Wave 2. 2 and 2. 3 ), Roland ( Jupiter 8, D-50, XV-5080, and a Fantom X7 starting on the Snakes & Arrows Tour ), Moog ( Minimoog, Taurus bass pedals, Moog Little Phatty ), and Yamaha ( DX7, Yamaha KX76 ).

Kerosene is used to fuel smaller-horsepower outboard motors built by Yamaha Motors, Suzuki Marine, and Tohatsu.

Over the next two years, the standard was discussed and modified by representatives of companies such as Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Kawai, Oberheim, and Sequential Circuits, and was renamed Musical Instrument Digital Interface.

These became essential with the appearance of complex synthesizers such as the Yamaha FS1R, which contained several thousand programmable parameters, but had an interface that consisted of fifteen tiny buttons, four knobs and a small LCD.

Yamaha introduced the mLAN protocol in 1999.

mLan was used in a number of Yamaha products, notably digital mixing consoles and the Motif synthesizer, and in third-party products such as the PreSonus FIREstation and the Korg Triton Studio.

A custom video chipset allowed the system to display 4, 096 colors and 380 individual sprites onscreen simultaneously, while the onboard Yamaha YM2610 sound chip gave the system 15 channels of sound with seven channels reserved specifically for digital sound effects.

These models positioned the track outside the platter's edge, as did turntables by Harman Kardon, Mitsubishi, Pioneer, Yamaha, Sony, etc.

PM is used, however, in digital music synthesizers such as the Casio CZ synthesizers, or to implement FM Synthesis in digital synthesizers such as the Yamaha DX7.

The chase scene featured Lola T70 Mk. IIIs with dummy turbine engines racing against Yamaha TA125 / 250cc 2-stroke race replica motorcycles through two San Francisco Bay Area automotive tunnels: the Caldecott Tunnel between Oakland and Orinda, and the underwater Posey Tube between Oakland and Alameda.
