Vintage Yamaha Portasound PC-100 Portable Electronic Keyboard
INCLUDING
24 Music Playcards
Protective Hard Storage Carry Case
Mains Power Supply
Owners Guide Instruction Manual
&
The Head Cleaning Card
All of the usual features are present: there are 10 voices (with aselectable “Sustain” function) and 10 rhythm patterns with autoaccompaniment, (“Auto Bass Chord”) each of which has two selectablevariations. There is also an Auto Arpeggio function which “adds arippling effect to the accompaniment” according to the manual.The auto accompaniment, rhythm and auto arpeggio levels are allindependently adjustable using analogue sliders, as is the tempo.
The most interesting aspect of this keyboard is obviously the Playcardsystem. For more information on how this works, have a look at the Yamaha Playcards page.
Many Playcards have pictorial indications of where the Tempo and AutoArpeggio sliders should be set to sound correct for the music on thatcard, but I have found that setting the sliders to these exactpositions usually sounds competely wrong – generally the Tempo is muchtoo fast, or the Arpeggio is much too low and virtually inaudible. Soyou really have to judge the positions of these sliders to make themusic sound right.
Another nice feature of these early Yamaha PortaSounds is that theycome 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 12 cards is supplied with the keyboard,and the envelope for these cards advises storing them in the envelopewhen not in use, and keeping this in the case lid
