For technical features, see PSS-380 ( https://clavier-arrangeur.yamaha.audiofanzine.com/produits/avis/index%2Cidproduit%2C43838%2Cmao%2Cpss380.html ) , which is its direct predecessors, released 2 years tt, and strictly identical.

100 sounds the same stackable DIFFERENT ditables 100 sounds with the options of synthesis:
10 000 half-tones FM ditables!

I put 8 because it did not take midday.

UTILIZATION

Everything is very simple and accessible buttons or zippers 8 positions: no menu or submenu sys-ex or edit on a computer.

No effect, except the vibrato synthse and the superposition of two identical sounds to have a chorus.

The manual is split into columns: one for each language is full but not practical.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one day, bought less than 20.

I've never seen a synth with as many DIFFERENT sounds, the sounds of special effects are deadly!
The only problem synthse of FM is that it sounds good in either the treble or serious, but not both.
We can not edit the bass sound in split mode, the sound is linked to the accompaniment style select.
Forget the drum sounds, they are only available in automatic accompaniments and are neither powerful enough nor typical oldschool.

You can not save a modified his.

I would do without hesitating that choice has sounded very cold, but quite varied. on the other hand ists no sound. Synthse very close to a pure DX7 (same type of chip, but 4 max operator instead instead of 6)
