yamaha ss30 rare string synth

[Desmaad]

Why did they call these things "string synths"? They sound like electronic accordions to me.

Very nice instrument. Have always wanted but hard to find. They seem pretty stable, pitch-wise. Good demo here.

sorry, if found out its not exactly the same synth, but maybe you've got an idea anywhere, because i cant find an freakin output

[tim8080]

dude, we found such a thing today in our band room :D

dont know how it came there.

there is a red lamp on the right, which works if we plug the synth in.

but no one of us don't no how get a tone out of that thing.

is there an cinch output somewhere or how does it work?

volume control etc is on max.

thanks

This one sounds much better that the SK series!

How effective are the Slow Attack stops?

Thank you.

[solina2008]

Not really slow sadly. would have been better to have a dedicated Attack control. there is also an issue with the ensemble level. Its less a control and more a switch. What this synth does have which little or no other string machine has is TWO divide down oscillators and pitch control over both to get thats super thick sound when combined with the ensemble. Very flexible with a little thought... But still not as good a sound as the Godwin...

[LucBenOuiLuc]

very similar to the SK series string sounds

[Zerkarlo]

This synth is beautiful, I used one in the early eighties when I played in Thirteen At Midnight. Stupidly I left it behind when I left the band!

[skaneverdies]

Reminds me a lot of my old Korg Lambda from the 70s.
