[net.music.synth] Yamaha top-of-the-line PortaSound for sale

tlim@yetti.UUCP (Terry Lim) (12/17/86)

As part of my efforts to raise funds for my recently acquired townhouse, I
find myself in the unfortunate position of having to liquidate my keyboard.
It's a Yamaha PortaSound MK-100, (Multi-Programmable Stereo Keyboard).

Less than a year ago, I saw it in music stores in Singapore.  When I returned
to Toronto, I searched for it high and low to no avail.  One salesman I spoke
to had actually heard of it.  He told me it was the top of the PortaSound
line and that it costs over $900.

I never did find it in Toronto.  I had to get my mother to bring it in for me
from Singapore.  It's in excellent condition and I am open to offers above
$450.  Call me at 665-1174 or write me at utzoo!yetti!tlim.  BTW, I've
programmed a set of voices and rhythms to allow me to improvise in a vaguely
authentic sitar/tabla environment!

- 49-key keyboard
- preset organ, piccolo, trumpet, violin, sax, oboe, piano, music box (vibes),
	great harpsichord, guitar, synth 1, synth 2
- 3 sustains, chorus, tremolo, stereo
- rhythms galore, beat lights, synchstart, fill-in, volume, tempo
- auto bass/chords, single finger, full fingered chords, chord variations,
	bass/rhythm variations, separate volume control
- duet, trio (play melody, it harmonizes with you!)
- transposer 1/2 octave up and down
- headphone jack, takes batteries or AC (I'll supply the adapter), built in
	stereo speakers or use an external amp (aux out L&R), tape in/out
- multiple menu system allows definition of individual voices using waveforms
	and envelopes, overdubbing of another voice onto a melody in unison,
	custom bass, custom drums, bass/chord voice variation, store whole
	songs (melody, rhythm, bass, the works) in non-volatile memory,
	interface with tape -- in and out, nice menu system very usable.
- 6.6 lbs, slim, I'll supply a case with strap and manuals for both the
	instrument and its menu system.
