Yamaha PSS-7

The PSS-7 is a typical example for the "more modern" single-chip-generation devices. It basically has one chip which processes all functions internally and also holds all samples. The astoundingly large amount of sounds and drum samples sound overall quite "grainy" (Samples with approx. 8 bit @ 12 to 14 kHz).

Up to now, I built in 2 "shitshot" buttons and a reset button (Taster). These now unleash beautiful noises and noise-loops that occur by sheer chance.
