SK50D Yamaha Multi Synth


via this auction

"According to the Owner's Manual… The SK50D is basically composed of six sections: upper and lower organ, poly-synth, strings, bass, and solo synthesizer. Each of these sections can function as a completely independent instrument, or they can be combined and mixed to any desired degree of balance to create ensemble effects.

According to SK50D Users... It has got a [Hammond-like] 9 drawbar organ, monophonic bass synth ; a woofer killer bass with sine 3 oscillators . It has got a monophonic solo synth that can be layered with the bass synth for even more power (and it responds to aftertouch!). There is a fully programmable 7 note polyphonic analog synth with VC LPF and resonance and it has three presets, and a 7 note polyphonic analog string synth It is a very rare instrument. Very playable with lovely key action...

Each section has separate outputs, plus there's a mixed output, and a headphone output. There's even a direct Leslie tone cabinet connection that makes for a truly unbelievable combination (see the video links below)! [at the auction or see this post and this post]

Here's a link to the Owner's Manual. Here's a band [natural sympathy orchestra] that uses the SK50D extensively in performance [bottom pic]"
