YAMAHA PSR- Keyboard /Arranger Workstation/Synthesizer
YAMAHA PSR- Keyboard / Synthesizer. It has a music stand & power lead. A hard disc is also installed and I think extra memory plus a Yamaha floppy Style Disc and an Audio Sampling Library CD. It's generally in good condition and I've loved having it - particularly the sounds of the various instruments which can easily be mixed - 3 in the upper & one in the lower. The o/p power at 20watts/channel is much higher than most so doesn’t additional amplification in small venues. I've never used the MIDI/composing part of it - it's such a versatile instrument I'm not sure that anyone would ever explore its fully capabilities. The only defects I’m aware of is slight scratch on the upper part of the display panel and the 8 incremental thumb wheels below the display panel sometimes are erratic in increasing/decreasing the settings but it always get there in the end. Extracted from the Yamaha Manual:- The PSR- is a sophisticated electronic keyboard which offers a comprehensive range of features for extensive musical versatility and expressive control: a touch-sensitive 61-key keyboard, an outstanding range of voices (including XG voices), top quality auto-accompaniment with an extensive range of styles, song recording and playback capability, registration memory, and a built-in floppy disk for convenient data storage and retrieval, and more. The following features, in particular, give the PSR- extraordinary musical production and performance power. ? High-quality sampling capability —— lets you sample and edit sounds via microphone or from line sources, and then use the sampled waveforms in original voices. ? Unique Vocal Harmony feature incorporates advanced voice-processing technology to automatically produce vocal harmony based on a lead vocal, making a single singer sound like a vocal group. ?
