Yamaha PSR-48 Portasound Rare Vintage Clean Near-Mint For those that value equipment that is as clean and visually appealing as it is functionally sound, THIS UNIT IS A RARE FIND. NO DUST, grime, goo or other disgusting residue. Released in 1990, its hard to believe that something that is 33 years old has survived in this condition. This model is definitely a unique antique with a Dual Voice features (DASS) that allows selection of TWO SIMULTANEOUS sounds for quite the variety considering its large 100 sound ROM (100x100=1000 variations).

Notables 100 patches 100 drum sounds 2 modes of sustain an Ensemble mode multiple Accompanment Parts Custom Drummer Transpose RARE Pitch controls for fine tuning. Condition Near-mint condition - and definitely more mint than other listings claiming as such with dust all up in the speaker grills and dirty keys. All keys and buttons work. MIDI in out ports tested OK. Unit has been opened up and meticulously cleaned and restored to near-original condition. Carefully cleaned without chemicals of any kind. Almost don't want to let it go now that I'm looking at it, but I have a crazy-bloated collection and must downsize a bit. Manufacturer Notes The PortaSound PSR-48 uses the "DASSystem" which stands for Dual Architecture Synthesis System. When it was released, a keyboard based on waveform ROM was still a pretty new idea and Yamaha was in the process of transitioning from primarily using FM to using waveforms, so it included elements of both. It can be set to dual voice mode with two sounds playing at once.
