Features

100 Voices + 100 Styles
100 Voices and 100 Rhythms/Accompaniment Styles are created using Yamaha's FM Tone Generator.

Custom Rhythm Creation
When the Percussion On/Off switch is On, the upper octave of the keyboard can be used to play any of the 100 available rhythm/accompaniment styles manually. Three Intro/Fill In buttons can be used to create different introductions for selected rhythm styles and the Synchro Break function causes a "break" in the auto-accompaniment rhythm whenever the percussion keys are played.

Custom Voice Creation
The existing voices can be modified to create new sounds, and these original voice creations can be stored in 5 Bank Memories for install recall.

Custom Drummer
The Custom Drummer allows the creation of new or modifies pre-programmed rhythm styles. In addition, accents or rolls can be added to accentuate the sound and give the custom rhythm patterns a live feel. To utilize the Custom Drummer, press the Custom Drummer Program button and play on the manual percussion keys. Instruments can be added one by one to build up to more complex patterns.

Song Memory
The Song Memory feature "records" chord progressions or melody lines in the PSS-480's digital memory. The combination of Song Memory with the Custom Drummer feature allows the creation of totally original compositions.

Additional Effects
A selection of 5 effects can be selected singly or in combination to enhance sound quality, including Vibrato, Duet, Sustain, Reverb, and Portamento.

MIDI Compatibility
The PSS-480 is a MIDI Instrument, and can control or be controlled by other MIDI equipment such as sequencers, synthesizers, and tone generators.
