Relaxing demo on Yamaha PSS-290


YouTube via organfairy
"This melody is made entirely on the Yamaha Portasound PSS-290 and is more or less a demonstration of some of the sound this little keyboard can do. The PSS-290 works with a simple FM synthesizer which puts a limit on the authenticity of the acoustic voices. But there are some great sci-fi sounds that can be used for melodies like this one."

  1. I had the PSS-390 when I was a teen and can't get my hand on it anymore... but I'd sure love to get it back
    Same as the 290, with an additional synthesizer section, with primitive ADSR and modulation...
    Awesome stuff of course

  2. I too had the PSS-390, and the synth section on it was wild!

  3. Yeah!
    Great for crazy distorted leads and fx...
    I've been looking for a cheap second-hand 390 for years now, but it's harder to find that the less powerful PSS.
    And ebay/ad prices for 390 are sometimes downright crazy.
    Just saw a 70€ ad... get out...
