"WKE Stylosynth B

I bought this on Ebay a couple of years back.
It is an extensively modified Stylophone, it has a second oscillator, variable vibrato speed, envelope and mixer section.
It only partly worked when when i got it but has now completely stopped working. I plan to repair it to it's former glory.
I have no idea who modified it or when, but the circuitry looks very old.
One question springs to mind, it is marked WKE Stylosynth B, who has the Stylosynth A?"

Get it hard!

Lofi Tip - Hidden Monosynth Mode on Yamaha pss-480 pss-580 pss-680 pss-780

YouTube via ChrisLody | August 22, 2010

"Here's how you can make your yamaha pss-480, pss-580. pss-680 or pss-780 play like a monosynth. Its a great way to get yourself a super cheap FM monophonic synth for solos and basses.

Just to recap the work around works like this:

Hold 'Record' and press 'Chord 1-5' then turn off 'Rhythm'. Then press 'Start/Stop' and 'Start/Stop' again. Press the same 'Chord' button again and then 'Start/Stop' to run the recorded blank sequence. Turn on 'Duet' mode and your keyboard will play monophonically.

Yeay :D

It has lowest not priority and it also fully retriggers it envelopes on every note so aviod mixing long attack and release times (on the front panel Sustain=Release)

To deep edit the internal sounds by accessing all the hidden parameters download 'Pss Edit' from the downloads section here: http://members.chello.at/bobby100/"
