PS-20 Vintage Keyboard Bank

[guillaume35]

Hello !

I sampled the 10 voices of a very old keyboard, the Yamaha PS-20 released in 1981.


There is the link (modified on the 04 march 2008 ) : rapidshare.com/files/97052377/PS_20.zip.html

There is also a bonus bank with a great ( !!!!! ) CP-80 from the younger PSR-640 : rapidshare.com/files/97051939/Yam_PSR_640.zip.html

This PS-20 keyboard had a wonderfully nice automatic accompaniement with a chord bass and a synth lead arpeggio. Unfortunately, it's quite complex to sample so I still have not done it.

The voices are :
- Organ 1
- Organ 2
- Trumpet
- Strings
- Clarinet
- Oboe
- Piano
- Harpsichord
- Accordion
- Vibraphone

You have also a "single finger chord" with major chords in the first octave (press C1 -> C, D2-> D) and minor in the second (press C2-> Cmin).

This is my first sampled bank so sometimes you can hear loops. There is a bit of noise due to the old age of this keyboard.

Enjoy !

Thanks for the donation

Sadly, the first link comes up as dead and returns a 404 page

Sorry. I put the link to the page.
Maybe it works only for French

No, the other link works fine.

Thanks for re-posting.

Here's the correct link for everyone else

Ha! I had one of those! God knows why though - I don't think I ever used it!

Many thanks indeed to guillame 35 for a very nice bright CP80 from the PSR 640 it is a real favourite with me at the moment. Is this from a home keyboard, if so then that is amazing because fusionised it sounds very CP80ish ie very close to the original (to my ears)?

Thank you very much. The CP-80 comes from my Yamaha PSR 640 keyboard. I simply sampled it with the internal sampler of the Fusion. I added some effects on Fusion Program Mode.

I didn't know what was a CP-80 when I got this excellent keyboard 7 years ago, but I loved this sound and I still like it.

If you like that kind of pianos, I sampled other pianos from my PSR-640 and when I will have a bank I will share it. There will be : "Modern DX Piano", "Super DX Piano", "Galaxy Piano", "Polaris Piano", "Grand Piano", "Bright Piano" etc...

I also have a almost complete bank of the PS-20 with... the arpegios ! It will be released in a few days.

Hmmm... I'm having trouble.... I try to enter the code with the letters to access the download area, but it says I don't have access.... am I doing something wrong or does anyone else have this problem with Rapidshare?

It caught me out to begin with too. After double checking, it seems that it was showing me 6 letters where it only wanted me to type the 4 that had a symbol (in my case, a sitting cat) attached to them.. I had to look close before I could tell what the symbols were though!

Hope this helps.

Thanks, worked now. Last time I used rapidshare (for V-streams soundpacks) I didn't have to look for the cats.

It's always a cat - but don't spend too long looking for it; the captcha times out as well. As someone on reddit pointed out, it's in Rapidshare's interests to make downloading from them without paying as inconvenient as possible.

Those PS-20 sounds are really great,thank you!
I particularly like the Clarinet and Harpsichord examples.When I have learnt how to sample properly on my Fusion I will have to get started on my old mini-keyboards by Casio,Yamaha and Bontempi!
