@GastonJacques - It has a quite large bank of sounds and two sounds can be layered to form a combination. It lacks autenticity regarding the "natural" sounds. But it has a good selection of "sci-fi" sounds that I often use if I want to "space age-ify" some music. The rhythm section is OK for a keyboard that old but the auto-accompaniment sounds slightly cheap. But the music in this video is made entirely on the PSS-290 so it should give some idea on how it sounds.
I have a Yamaha PSS-280 that is the same as the PSS-290, the only difference is that the 280 is totally black, loads of useable sounds on this keyboard, some of them sound realistic, some of my favourite sounds are celesta, glockenspiel, synth bass, some of the organ sounds
Ja, men det sjove er at man skal trykke kort på tangenten for at den bliver "rigtig". Hvis man trykker og lader fingeren blive liggende så bliver dråben nærmest et "klask". Det er vel nærmest et forsøg på at lave en slags anslagsfølsomhed uden at rigtig er det.
Ajaajaaaj... I got one of these, too! I prefer to put it on top of my organ for a pseudo 3-manual handling ;) It really fits the drawbar percussion noise.
There's one special trick: Put in some almost empty batteries or use a power supply with adjustable voltage. Then turn up the volume at maximum and you have a great overdrive effect!
Thanks I should get on then, I really ike the last part of 'no swinel calls me' Subscribed!

How is the PSS 290 in general? I'm thinking about buying one, just to have something to fool around on.

@myrmur - I connected the Yamaha to my PC through an attenuator box and recorded it with multitrack recording software.

Or at least different. Do remember though, that this melody is made in several layers using a multitrack recorder. The Motif can do on its own.
