This is a classic, highly sought after keyboard from 1987 with sampling and sound processing features. It is missing the sampler buttons (see pictures) so this means I haven’t been able to test the sampler – but everything else works well so it should just be a case of replacing the buttons. These can be replaced cheaply e.g. https://syntaur.com/yamaha_vss.html.

From https://sigur-ros.co.uk/media/articles/sound0.php:
“it’s an amazing keyboard. i just use the sampler, but it’s amazing what you can do, just beautiful. it’s the best instrument i’ve had since the guitar. after you play the guitar for a while and it becomes your main instrument, it becomes part of you because you know exactly how it works and just play it with out thinking. it’s kind of the same with this small keyboard – it’s unbelievably simple. you just sample something and there’s an effect where you can reverse the sample and make a u-turn, but it’s all really simple. it’s my instrument beside the guitar. i really, really love it.”
