Yamaha Electone C55N

Electronic organ (ie with its digital memory), the irst generation (in other words with sounds not very complex).
Double keyboard (3.5 ocatve - of F to C) (7 polyphoonie of notes, aarrgglllllll)
and pedal 1 octave (from C to C) (mono, re-aarrggllllll)
Otherwise, the keyboard has a good response, but not hard. Although it is impossible to make a big slide with, it crashes.

Different basic sounds include the attack (small green levers) flutes (white levers), the wind insrument (levers green) and strings (yellow buttons) - there are all the details on page B-55 ( the effect is the same as for the C-55).
I admit sounds like a good time just settled (at least to the chorus), as only, or the feeling of playing a gameboy ... (but when well arranged, it sounds terrible, even for oboe & Co.).

There are also specials preset (not to be confused with those two little levers that pretend to be a good mix, I do not like them), this effect there have the right (vibraphone, harp, piano and limit the accordion ), and not so good (I've never seen anything as ridiculous as their effect banjo or mandolin - that are even close to an octave).

Voices and costumes. Here, there vrament way to play with this hard to find now (mono) ... the sounds are good (as sweet as the clarinet, or more aggressive as the violin or the trumpet). But do not abuse the fact remains that one more (I did GND cool tunes on it). A kind of taping, as did daft punk. It''s clearly a very positive point, because the rating change is very rapid.
Second part, his drum machine: there is a little bit of everything (from samba to jazz rock to disco and waltz), as always, a drum machine does not equal a battery, but it can play rhythmic manner (there is not much more to ask). But otherwise, there is truly kitsch (always the disco and the samba), and simplistic.
There is still an advantage: it is possible to play several at a time (history of binary and ternary mixtures, two and three times ...)
It is posssible, in a bit of fiddling to play a little melody automatically, a kitsch unimaginable enough to animate an entire evening of carnival).
A strong point, it is all effect (tremmolo and vibrato are very good examples, same for the sustain and reverberation). Just a special note for the glide (which Disagree all): it is possible to give this old worn-K7, and the wah which has a real cuine duck (both amusing effect).
As output, there is input (RCA) output (RCA) Headphone Jack (off) and for leslie (I guess) there is a Leslie and Yamaha.

UTILIZATION

For all that is his base, it's easy, it takes a bit to try everything, but it can quickly get an idea.
Just one caveat to the drum must be understood ...
I never had the manual, and I am out well without.

SOUNDS

I really love the sound of this keyboard, my once very versatile, ranging from a metal (unmax sustain and treble), blues (by putting just the flutes, the attack and tremolo), or pretend to emulate an organ, even if it's not really that ...
on the other hand, it is also possible to go very bad, its just a style to no effect ...
The foot is the most useful ...

A real downside to the lack of possibility to adjust the power of the pedal compared to keyboard, as it is possible to do between them. (I often had the problem of low too present or too absent).

OVERALL OPINION

I bought a few months ago, I forget exactly, I love it (exept weight). This is my first organ (before I had a single keyboard, and it sounds so meiux).
I really like all his characteristic mmais it ages. He has problems with special presets, headphone output and I dropped).
I got it for 175 €, I SSUP glad for that price, but I think on reflection that it would be possible to get better at that price ... but otherwise, it is worth really worth it, I do not want to change it for now ...
