Vintage 1981 YAMAHA PS-30 Synthesizer Keyboard Japan – WORKING & EXTREMELY RARE

 

 

 

An extremely rare 1981 Yamaha PS-30 automatic bass chord synthesizer keyboard.  This was the first portable keyboard with versatile “auto bass chord” accompaniment and it was one of the last analogue keyboards created by Yamaha.  The PS-30 has a “solo” voice section that can layer the highest currently played note with an additional voice, that is produced by a more sophisticated monophonic sound generator. This solo voice employs a real analogue filter envelope and produces a wonderful analogue synthesizer timbre.

 

 

This is a highly sought after piece of kit, if you like the band Beach House there’s a great breakdown of how they use this keyboard here – https://reverbmachine.com/blog/beach-house-keyboard-sounds

 

The keyboard is in good condition, there are no sticky keys, all of the buttons work and the sliders are smooth.  The speakers are still loud and the sound is smooth, no crackle.  The underside of the keyboard has yellowed slightly and there is a rubber foot missing.  The metal stand that attaches to the back is missing.

 

 

I’ve tested it, been through all the settings, volumes, etc and everything works great.  A great piece of Yamaha history.

 

 

I would prefer for someone to collect it so they can test it and make sure they’re happy but I’m willing to ship it too.  Please contact me and I can work out a shipping cost.
