"Made with a solid metal enclosure & 49 plastic keys in good condition
The DS-50 has 7 basic sounds, an accompaniment section enabling backing tracks as well, also a drum machine with 8 different rhythm styles.


Main three solo sounds:
Harpsichord ,Marimba ,Vibes

There are also four sliders labelled Flute 8' , Flute 4', Oboe & Violin, which can be used to adjust the tone & waveforms of the 3 main sounds, or be used to make replications of the appropriate sound Oboe.

There is also a Vibrato slider to adjust sounds

The accompaniment section there's~ Strum/Arpeggio feature which enables you to use strum effects or bass Arpeggios to be played by the machine itself, using the Auto or 1-Finger buttons. This allows basslines to be played on the bottom 12 notes while leaving the rest of the keyboard for the Solo sound. There is also a 1-Finger chord button, and Record/Playback buttons. I am unsure if the Record is working I have no manual so don't know functions all that well. and Volume button sounds like it my need so cleaning at the points.

On the Rhythm section there are 8 rhythm styles:
Country/March ,Waltz ,Swing,Ballad Rock ,Disco/Rock ,Bossa Nova ,Rhumba ,Samba
Rhythm section has Tempo and volume adjust sliders, and has Start/Stop and touch control (pause) buttons."
