Vintage YamahaPortasound PC-100Portable Electronic Keyboard (also uses batteries)
INCLUDING
18 Music Playcards
Protective Hard Storage Carry Case
Mains Power Supply
&
The Head Cleaning Card
All of the usual features are present: there are 10 voices (with a selectable “Sustain” function) and 10 rhythm patterns with auto accompaniment, (“Auto Bass Chord”) each of which has two selectable variations. There is also an Auto Arpeggio function which “adds a rippling effect to the accompaniment” according to the manual. The auto accompaniment, rhythm and auto arpeggio levels are all independently adjustable using analogue sliders, as is the tempo.
The most interesting aspect of this keyboard is obviously the Playcard system. For more information on how this works, have a look at theYamaha Playcardspage.
Many Playcards have pictorial indications of where the Tempo and Auto Arpeggio sliders should be set to sound correct for the music on that card, but I have found that setting the sliders to these exact positions usually sounds competely wrong – generally the Tempo is much too fast, or the Arpeggio is much too low and virtually inaudible. So you really have to judge the positions of these sliders to make the music sound right.
Another nice feature of these early Yamaha PortaSounds is that they come with their own carrying case, which doubles-up as a music stand. The PC-100’s case also has pockets in the lid for storing Playcards. Curiously, even though a set of 18 cards is supplied with the keyboard, and the envelope for these cards advises storing them in the envelope when not in use, and keeping this in the case lid
