Yamaha S08 Late 90's 88-key Piano/Synth- Satin Black Beauty-Mint!

For the full story on the Yamaha S08, read this very unbiased, unvarnished review:

Of course the only way to know for sure is to play one or listen to the Youtube link below. This contains quite a few orchestrated pieces with the patches used from this synth. It should be noted that the S08 is not a sequencer but a synthesizer, meaning one can take a patch that exists on the keyboard and synthesize into another patch altogether. But one cannot create orchestrations as in the Youtube link.

On-off Power Button Issue:

On this keyboard the power on /off switch makes for an iffy startup. It has been this way since I acquired the keyboard. So I will always leave the So8 in the on position and power on/off from a power strip; Initializes every time.

Features

The keyboard comes with 88 weighted, balanced, hammer action keys, 64 note polyphony, 3 effect blocks with effect types, and 16-part multitimbrality. It features 25.2MB of waveforms providing over 700 sounds and is GM and XG compatible. There's also a Quick access and category search function, SmartMedia slot, USB port, and MIDI in/out/thru. Looking for a keyboard that plays MIDI files? Well there's a playback sequencer that allows you to play standard MIDI files direct from SmartMedia.
