This little digital keyboard is interesting. Is has 100 FM presets, which can be edited – with the built in “digital synthesizer”. It is the most flexible FM synthesizer keyboard of Yamaha’s PSS series. It not only has a lot of presets, it has sliders scaled from 1 to 8, while older PSS synth keyboards like , PSS-360 have sliders scaled from 1 to 5.
Weird sounds are possible and it sounds lofi and noisy. It uses the frequency modulation synthesis (FM) – like the Yamaha DX7 – but here with less operators. It has digital drums as PCM samples. Very eighties…
