This was my third (ish) keyboard when I was a kid, and hearing the sounds brought back a lot of memories. I remember improv'ing a lot of fantasy sounding music with it. I also remembering liking the synth tom sound (95), which was reminiscent of cheezy techno Jan Hammer-esque music of the time.
Just so you know, you should use the best possible power adapter if you are not going to just use battery power. Cheap power adaptors produce noise which can affect the sound. Of course, they can also damage the longevity of the electronics - especially bad since these synths are in the vintage category now!
I'm the original owner of a PSS-270. My girlfriend at the time bought it for me and paid around $110.00. It still works like a charm and I hope to pass it on to one of my two grandkids. Thanks for the work you do on "the you tubes"!
I love how the instrument emulation brought new timbre, color, and brand new sounds to explore and exploit. Thats why im in love with sound design and synthesis
"It also has a headphone jack" unlike some other new technology
While the piano definetaly doesn't sound like a piano, it does sound cool!
Am I the only one that realized the fact that 86 was called comet? For the younger viewers ...in 1986 Halley's comet came past the Earth.

I remember playing it in a store at age of 13, but I could not afford it...
Number 58 more sustain = Tu retrato - Rock Star
The snare drum sounds more like beating a pan with your fist on a couch for no reason

I can't play, and I have no real interest in music, but man I love this channel! I'm always fascinated by these old gadgets.
The all-snare-drum key test sounded like a bunch of popping balloons.

"Do not buy one of these, with the impression that you are going to make beautiful piano music."
Woah! 43-Strings is straight out of an epic 80s movie!
The PSS-270 is an absolute banging classic. I remember when we got our first keyboard lab at school, populated with about 20 of these babies.
I found this baby at the swapmeet this Saturday afternoon , best 10 bucks i have ever spent lol
Brilliant.... I'm 65, recovering from a stroke and have decided to teach myself how to play a little music.
The Flute+Harpsicord preset gives me goosebumps. I love your videos, we need more people like you on CZcams!
The demos you make with these keyboards are one of the four main reasons I continue to watch.
I Love this Keyboard.
