Yamaha PortaSound PSS-460

Video Story The Yamaha PSS-460/PSS-470 synths were made in the late 80's, and have the same sound chip as the SoundBlaster PC cards of yore. I discovered this gem at a local Goodwill-like recycling store. There are 21 pre-defined sounds, and five sliders to either modify existing sounds, or create new ones. Chords, rhythm and bass accompaniment is also available. None of the real-world instruments (Violin, Piano, etc) sound remotely like themselves, so the fun is in the 80's cheesy sounds like "Cosmic" :) Specifications Keyboard: 49 mini keys Polyphony: 9 notes ROM: 21 sounds, 12 rhythms Dimensions: 652 mm x 281.5 mm x 91 mm Weight: 3 kg Speakers: This keyboard has built-in 1.3-watt stereo speaker(s) Batteries: C x 6 Manual Download Manual
