Yamaha S80 88 Weighted Key Synthesizer/ Piano W/ Case, Stand & Chair

Condition: Excellent The S80 is a weighty instrument in every sense of the word. This serious synth offers an expandable palette of tone colours, initially based on Yamaha's AWM2 technology; full onboard sound programming with visually satisfying editing software; and a wealth of controller capabilities that are beautifully thought out. Kin to Yamaha's dance-oriented CS6x/6R, the S80 uses the same sound engine as the CS but is oriented toward pianists, offering more piano sounds, a weighted action, and a more conservative look. On the other hand, the S80 lacks the CS's sample-loading Phrase Clip feature-not to mention its techno attitude. The S80 is all about control. With its 88-note weighted keyboard action, this is not an instrument for one-finger sample-stabbers. It's a grown-up's synthesizer, meant for someone who can actually play-preferably piano-and who won't be intimidated by weight under the fingers. It's also a synth for someone who can afford a roadie-or at the very least a decent flight case.
