Yamaha S80 Fully Weighted Hammer – Action 88 Key Digital Piano & SynthI am selling a used Yamaha S80 Digital piano in great condition. I have been using it for the past couple of years as my primary professional performance keyboard, and it has been phenomenal.The reason I am selling it is to downsize. This S80 has the usual performance keyboard wear and tear. No Major Dents and in good condition!This keyboard has 88 fully weighted, hammer-action keys; it makes for an unbelievably good MIDI controller. There are hundreds of built-in patches at your fingertips that you can access through a very user-friendly interface. It is a bargain considering that most 88 key fully weighted hammer action MIDI controllers would cost upwards of 1,000 to buy new, but with the S80, you get all of that and more at half the price.Contact me for any questions Full Descirption Below:A full-sized keyboard that gives you the response and feel you need to capture all the emotion and dynamics of your playing. It offers superb weighted action, an incredible-sounding selection of familiar voices, 64 notes of polyphony and 16 multi-timbral parts. When your music calls for a different tonal perspective, the S80’s Modular Synthesis Plug-in System opens the door to new and exciting synthesizer possibilities.
Full-Size Keyboard with True Piano ActionFor musicians who are used to playing on a real piano, the touch of the keyboard on the S80 is a dream come true. Engineers at Yamaha took great care in designing the keyboard to deliver the same feel and expression as an acoustic piano. As a result, the S80 responds to the finest dynamics of your playing, from the lightest pianissimos to firmly struck fortissimos.
Top-Quality Selection of Essential VoicesThe S80’s onboard sounds are some of the best available on the market today. The essential voices you use most organs, brass, strings, guitars and basses as well as a complete collection of pianos (including stereo-sampled pianos!) are packed into the S80’s wave memory. The S80 features a dynamic digital effects processor and an incredible 64 notes of polyphony and a full array of high quality drum sounds.
Quick AccessLooking for a particular organ sound to fit the mix? The intuitive Quick Access feature gives you instant access to specific categories of voices, such as pianos, guitars, and strings. With Quick Access, you can quickly find the type of sound you want without having to scroll through the keyboard’s on board voices one at a time.
Multi-Mode Resonant FiltersResonant filters add dynamics and realism to a keyboard’s sound and are a critical feature for any synthesizer. The S80 takes the filter concept to whole new level by giving you 12 types of “multi-mode” resonant filters. Multi-mode filters allow you to assign a combination of filters to a voice; a low pass and high pass filter, for example. Not only does this provide you with more expressive, authentic-sounding voices, but it also adds more depth and punch to synthetic timbres as well.
Ultimate MIDI ControlThe S80 gives you complete control over your MIDI setup. Four assignable data sliders and five assignable data knobs are provided for real-time control over any MIDI parameter. Pitch and modulation wheels are also provided, as well as 4 programmable keyboard zones and channel aftertouch. Entire MIDI setups can be stored in any of the keyboard’s 128 memory locations for instant recall in the studio or on stage.
ArpeggiatorFor added musical inspiration, the S80 is equipped with a MIDI Arpeggiator a feature not found in most 88-key synths. Along with standard arpeggiator sequences, such as Up, Down, and Up and Down, a wide variety of melodic phrase sequences and drum sequences are also included. Arpeggiator ON/OFF can be conveniently controlled via footswitch or MIDI control change.
A/D InputUse the A/D input jack to input external audio sources, such as a microphone, guitar, or drum machine, into the S80. An A/D processor converts the analog signal to a digital signal, allowing you to take advantage of the S80’s built-in digital effects, such as reverb and compression. And by installing the optional PLG100-VH Modular Synthesis Plug-in Board, you can have the S80 back up your singing performance with impressive three-part vocal harmony.
PC Serial Port InterfaceThe built-in TO HOST interface lets you connect the S80 to a personal computer, so you can take advantage of the wide variety of music software available on the market, including Yamaha’s own XGworks music sequencing package and various voice editors for the PLG Series Modular Synthesis. The PC interface supports both Mac and PC platforms. Two expansion slots are provided on the S80, allowing you to customize the keyboard with the exact synthesis power you need.
Playback SequencerThe S80 features a built-in song sequencer that is capable of playing back Standard MIDI Files. By storing MIDI files onto a SmartMedia card, you can build up a library of up to one hundred songs, any of which can be instantly called up at the touch of a button. What’s more, songs can include keyboard setups and performances, and can even be programmed for chained playback extremely useful for playing live.
Modular Synthesis Plug-in SystemThe Yamaha Modular Synthesis Plug-in System is a whole new approach to keyboard expansion. Unlike conventional expansion boards, the PLG Series Modular Synthesis Plug-in Boards add a complete synthesizer or sound processing engine to the S80. You also get more polyphony, extra multi-timbral capability, and new digital effects you get a totally new synthesizer or effect processor at a fraction of the cost!
Support Software Available on CD-ROMThe S80 lets you conveniently store your voices and performance setups on ultra thin and compact SmartMedia cards. As well as giving you a much larger data storage capacity than a floppy disk, SmartMedia can also be used as an external memory bank for instant access to a wider selection of sounds.
