Portable Yamaha electronic keyboard PSR - 300 with carrying case. This is what I found on line to describe it:
The PSR-300 is an early 1990s Yamaha digital keyboard, featuring first-generation AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) waveform ROM.
Notable characteristics of this accompaniment keyboard include 100 AWM voices, a polyphony of 28 notes, 50 auto-accompaniment styles, touch response, MIDI, stereo speakers, and 15 demo songs.
Other nice features include split and fingered mode for the left hand, separate controls for accompaniment volume, transpose, and tempo, and a dedicated button for setting the split point.
The accompaniment controls consist of an "intro/fill in" button, a "synchro start on-off/ending" button, and the obligatory start/stop button. You can also layer two voices using the "Dual Voice" on-off button (great for improving/fattening the base sounds).
Then there is the "sustain" button I was talking about earlier, and a "Harmony" control (adds harmonized parts to the right hands) - you can pick between Duet, Trio, Block, Country and Octave harmonized parts, very handy, especially with the jazz styles.
A typical omission for keyboards of this era is the absence of an input for a sustain pedal - In its place, we find a "Sustain" on-off button on the front panel (I remember a similar setup on my very first digital keyboard, the Gem DSK-8).
Even though the early sampling technology is a bit raw, certain tones are absolutely a joy to play, and several of them are very nice-sounding. Some of the synth string patches even exhibit a retro analog nature.
I do not have the attachable keyboard stand but I saw one listed on line at zzounds.com for $29.95.
Pick up in Coronado.
