All user reviews for the Yamaha PSS-680

The PSS 680 !!! A synth 4 octaves
Headphone out, midi in, out, thruuuuuu by transformer and power supply but has nothing to do with sound
100 ditables instrumentals, "proceeds from the famous Yamaha FM synthesis" two oscillators, please!
The effects of advanced technology (for 90 years): reverb, chorus, portamento, duo! (Barely paramtrable)
Finally, a digital squenceur to store ..... 5 squences mlodiques and 5 squences agreements!
Pitch wheel and no vlocit (we knew very little era)
An electronic battery pad worthy of MPC (nan jdconne)

USE

Configuration Gnrale extremely simple (a revolutionary LCD screen in the middle!)
Very complete manual, which allows even do a short course on the synthesis modulation frequency drives.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not remember exactly when I got it (I was a kid, it must be 11/12 years old now)

I love the sound very old school FM synth, you can really get out of the craziest sounds and powerful, and errors in the high frequencies create unpredictable and unbelievable.
All the drum part is terrible, the pads do not react nearly, and the sounds are ugly, but not enough to be typical.

I do not recommend this synth to anyone, unless you really want the sound it produces. € 100 is way too expensive for what remains of this machine (even new it would be too expensive).

I keep what I have, but if it die, I do not replace it ...
