Yamaha PSS-390 Portable Keyboard with controllable FM synth
This famous keyboard is essentially a grittier-sounding SoundBlaster sound card with a keyboard interface attached to it.
As the ‘TableHooters’ website puts it, “this is one of the most exciting Yamaha PortaSoundkeyboards, because this instrument from 1990 features an FM synthesizerthat is controlled in a very simplified way through 7 sliders.” (link)
You can modify any of the built-in sounds using 7 sliders which directly control different parameters of the FM synthesiser inside.
