Yamaha SK20


via this auction

"A lovely sounding organ / strings / polysynth . Early yamaha Digital FM for the organ , strings and polysynth are analog. String sound is comparable to the Roland RS 202 and you can build up more complex sounds because of the 3 sections. PItch of the organ/string section can be detuned against the pitch of the polysynth. It contains an excellent ensemble effect in addition to vibrato and tremelo effect. Its a little heavy so best suited for studio use!
The analog section strings/polysynth sound , to me , is very beautiful ; grainy ., a very physical real sound .
One note ; the polysynth section contains a selection of wavetypes 4'saw down to 16'pulse . If you place the switch in between to wavetypes you get a mixture of those 2 ."
