Hidden Monosynth Mode on Yamaha Pss480 Pss 580 Pss680 Pss780
Another tutorial for this keyboard can be found here: • Pssing Acid Tutorial -...
Here's how you can make your yamaha pss-480, pss-580. pss-680 or pss-780 play like a monosynth. Its a great way to get yourself a super cheap FM monophonic synth for solos and basses.
Just to recap the work around works like this:
Hold 'Record' and press 'Chord 1-5' then turn off 'Rhythm'. Then press 'Start/Stop' and 'Start/Stop' again. Press the same 'Chord' button again and then 'Start/Stop' to run the recorded blank sequence. Turn on 'Duet' mode and your keyboard will play monophonically.
Yeay :D
The sound that i played in the video was created using pss edit software, but you can get these same basic synth tones by following this procedure. First select the Oboe preset, its 21 on the 480/580 and 36 on the 680/780. Turn off the vibrato. Then edit set the 'digital synthesizer' section settings as follows: 0-63 1-63 2-00 3-00 4-00 5-00 6-07 7-75. This should give a nice bright saw wave across the whole keyboard. By changing setting 4 to 02 you can get a square wave instead. These make great starting points as basic sounds to tweak.
EDIT: i forgot to mention that the chord sequence doesn't have to be empty so you can play in monophony over anything recorded into the sequence, as long as you record no left hand auto chord stuff.
It has highest note priority and it also fully retriggers it envelopes on every note so aviod mixing long attack and release times (on the front panel Sustain=Release)
