@KeyboardKrazy49 sorry i meant, yamaha ps-25! i just bought one yesterday =) is awesome!!!!

[KeyboardKrazy49]

@ignacioambort Yes I know quite a bit about the PS-25, if you see my video of my PS-55, its almost the same as that keyboard except that the PS-25 doesnt have as many features as my 55, the PS-55 has stereo speakers, 16 sounds, 16 solo sounds, 16 rhythms, chorus and tremollo effects.

The PS-25 has 1 speaker on the left, 10 sounds, 10 rhythms, it didnt have solo sounds and it didnt have chorus and tremollo effects.

Hope this info about the PS-25 helps =)

On the video we can clearly hear that the "solo sounds" are indeed monophonic.

I was at a pawn shop and seen a PS-30 right away I remembered your video. I must say this was a beautiful keyboard in great shape too. I took it for a test run and it seemed the volume controls need a bit of cleaning other than that a great deal for $25. Next to that one I've seen a PSR-75 for $29.

do you know anything about the yamaha automatic bass chord system? I just picked one up random at goodwill and am having trouble finding info on it

[ColaberMilk]

just to let you know, the solo sounds are not monophonic, monophonic means that only one note can be played at a time, poly phonic means more than one, usually 3 or more. the one speaker means it has a mono signal, but it does not make it monophonic. hope this helps.
