The PSS-470 was released by Yamaha in 1987, and was clearly aimed at non-professionals. This is the type of keyboard that would not be surprising to find in the musical instrument section of a major toy store. It's a simple synth built in a plastic case, with built-in stereo speakers, stereo outputs and 49 mini-sized keys. It's designed to be lightweight and portable. Yet at its heart it has inherited Yamaha's DX series digital FM synthesis, which is enough to garner this synth some attention.

There are 21 preset sounds, all of which sound pretty silly. Fortunately, Yamaha included a section called "Digital Synthesizer" which is essentially a manual editing mode. In this mode, six sliders at the top right of the instrument allow you to shape DX/FM sounds. It is a very limited and simplified means of FM synthesis, but for many users this freedom from the complexity of having to attempt to craft FM sounds could be quite fun! The WAVE slider steps through a few very basic waveforms. The SPECTRUM slider is akin to a DX's frequency setting. The MODULATION is more of a timbre/brightness control that renders the sound from dull to bright, which is almost like filtering. The ATTACK and DECAY sliders both control the characteristics of the envelope. There is also a VOLUME slider which controls the output level of the synthesizer section.

Typical of this style of all-in-one synthesizer for casual consumers, is the built-in rhythm and accompaniment sections. The rhythm section offers 12 drum patterns which are comparable to Casio synths like the VL-Tone VL-1, with patterns like Bossa Nova, Rock, Disco and March/Waltz. They are pretty silly. But once again Yamaha did go one step further by adding the "Custom Drummer" which allows you to add some additional drum hits to the current pattern, to give it a little extra flavor of your own. There are only five of these drum sounds - the basics - kick, snare, tom, cymbal and hi-hat.

There is also the "Auto-Bass-Chord" accompaniment section which will play a chord and bass line appropriate to the selected rhythm pattern. Chords are selected from the lower octave-and-a-half of the keyboard, so you can play the melody/lead in the upper octave. The rhythm section also offers "Fill-In" and "Variation" buttons to keep your rhythm pattern from getting too boring. Another nice feature Yamaha added was individual volume controls for the "Auto-Bass-Chord" and Drum sections.

At the end of the day, the PSS-470 seems like a pretty advanced synth-toy, but still one that no real musician would consider using. However, the PSS-470 is so cheap that not only does it provide DX sounds at a bargain price, but circuit-bending these things has become quite common. That means some pretty wacky and unique things can be done, or have already been done to this synth. And with just enough quality touches added by Yamaha that make it a little more flexible than its Casio contemporaries, the PSS-470 could actually prove quite useful and exciting!

■ Premium & Vintage Parts Among the distortion effector enthusiasts for guitar, the operational amplifier JJRC4558DV (vintage version with glossy surface), which is a premium part, is used (the price difference due to serial is not attached). For TDC-YOU products, the supreme soft distortion obtained by matching with the classic vintage germanium transistor is exceptional. In addition, the already well-established 3-point EQ is also tuned and installed for this unit. We adopted a blue chicken knob and TDC-YOU’s first blue LED indicator.

The BASS DI from TDC-You Custom made in Japan The knob of the TDC-YOU BASS DI has been replaced with a chicken knob. (※There are no other changes to the internal circuitry or parts)

The TDC-YOU BASS DI was created at the request of the recording engineers at STUDIO YOU, the manufacturer. Equipped with a vintage germanium transistor buffer and a special output transformer. It has a built-in booster with a low amplification level, and by lightly boosting the sound, it increases the presence of the sound. The level and gain can be turned on/off to use as a booster or preamp. Even when it is turned off, it has a wide range and a fast attack, and produces a powerful sound for recording and live performances. It is supported by top artists both in Japan and abroad, who say that it sounds like a bass amp picked up by a microphone and that the sound of the earmony is good.

■ Carefully selected parts used The latest low-noise, high-impedance ICs are used in the first and second stages, and vintage germanium transistors are used in the final stage. Components that prioritize sound quality are used, such as KESTER solder, NEUTRIK jack, Honda Ohm carbon resistor, special permalloy core paper insulated transformer, hand-soldered bent part leads, carefully selected glass epoxy board, etc.

■ Main features: ○ A new type of booster that uses true bypass and boasts outstanding sound penetration and three-dimensionality. A slight boost makes the sound more noticeable, making it ideal for recording and live performances. ○ Place it at the end of the effects and use it as a line out. ○ Turn down the GAIN to operate as a buffer with no change in tone. ○ Also effective as a preamp for piezo-type pickups used in wood bass and acoustic guitars. ○ Also effective as a DI for keyboards. ○ Engraved letters that will not fade even after years of use. ○ Case processing, circuit board processing, assembly and adjustment handmade in the workshop. ○ Designed and developed by TDC-YOU original (by STUDIO YOU).
