i circuit bent the internal drum computer, got some nasty screeching/distortion on the kik and snare and some wierd looping/squelchin on the hi hats, it was easy too.
Yeah those are stock "voices" and there is a "digital synthesizer" with 6 parameters you can tinker with. Also you can change parameters themselves to affect pitch, transposing, etc. It's a cool keyboard.
Hey dothkoi, can you help me with a broken one. I'll send you the details.
i just got one of these. How do i make cool sounds like you?

Cool. This was my first music keyboard about 20 years ago, I think - guess I still miss my first synthesiser discovery experience.

Are those STOCK sounds, If I get a PSS-480 can it do those same sounds?
97warlock 2 years ago
Yes, those are all done through the FM editing controls like frequency, modulation, attack, etc.
