YAMAHA VSS-30 sampling keyboard synthesizer, Untested. I’ve no power supply or batteries for this so its sold as seen. The door for the battery bay is missing too. 
This item may look like a toy, but in fact is the much sought after secret weapon of lo-fi hip hop producers, circuit benders, creators of fat & dirty loops, and perhaps most famously, used by Sigur Ros to make their rich, organic ambient synth pads. Better than a Casio Sk-1, more sought after than the VSS-100 or VSS-200, it absolutely pours 8-bit magic sauce all over drum beats and synth sounds. But, then again, if youre looking at this then you probably know why this little beast is so special if in doubt, check YouTube.

FEATURES: Powered by 5x AA batteries or 9v-12v  power supply. Original YAMAHA adaptor recommended. (batteries or power supply not included.)
A 32 key mini keyboard with chord and arpeggio functions.One RCA aux in for the sampler and one 1/8 line out (easily converted to 1/4 in and out) internal condenser mic and speaker on-board effects including looping, echo, FM and AM modulation by fixed LFO, and an ADSR envelope generator.
SAMPLING: monophonic process is based on a YM2416 IC (common on all VSS series) + DRAM at 8 bits resolution with 2 fixed rates: 16 kHz (1,8 sec) or 9 kHz (3,5 sec). The sampled sound can be edited with 7 basic functions: loop mode reverse sample uturn: alternates forward and backward play overwrite: sound on sound, quickly saturates voice editor ADSR envelope on-board effects (echo, LFO, etc).
Please see photographs for detail.
