Yamaha SK50D


images via this auction

"Enormous analog synthesizer featuring two keyboards, a string section, two FM organ sections, a bass section, a polyphonic synthesizer section and a lead synth section. All the parts can be layered and played at the same time using the mixer section. This thing sounds great. It has built in tremolo and ensemble (chorus) effects. The organ is great. It can go from a B3 to the most haunting organ sounds ever made. The strings are very nice, and the synth parts need no introduction if you're familiar with the CS range of synthesizers. There is a lot of control over all the different sections. All the parameters you would expect to find on a synthesizer are there for the synth parts. Both organ sections have sliders that work as drawbars."

  1. As a [proud?] owner of an SK30, i can vouch for this synth's worth... if only it were a little later past Christmas i'd probably bid on it myself!

  2. Another happy SK30 owner here. An underrated, super-fun keyboard that continues to entertain and surprise me, especially in conjunction with effects.
