I have the Yamaha PSS-790, it's like the PSS-780 but it's sample based. It's a shame these sort of keyboards aren't all that popular and hard to come by, especially where recording music is concerned. Alot of these sounds on these keyboards are still useable even today.
The 680 had blue drum pads while the 780 had the coloured ones you see in the picture. The 680 also had a eurobeat style demo tune, the same as the 480 and 580.
How did you manage to get the demo tune onto a computer? I'm looking to try out and upload a demo tune from the Yamaha PSS-51 as it seems pretty popular.
@LosAngelesRaiders Connect the keyboard's line outputs to your soundcard's line input (usually marked with a blue ring). You can use a stereo mini jack to RCA cable for that - just add 2 RCA > jack converters.
Use Audacity to record the incoming signal - be careful with the volume!) and then use iTunes or Windows Media Player to convert it to an mp3 (you can do this with Audacity itself too, but you have to install some files).
I love this old school 'FM' sound - Great! Reminds me of all those classic video games of the 80s and early 90s. I really must get one of these keyboards . . .
Still got mine!!!

I had one of these once. It's the same chip creating the sounds as a SoundBlaster Pro PC card.
