These may be rare in the USA but they ain't rare in the UK. I had four until quite recently when i circuitbent them all and sold em. The sampling on the VSS200 just doesn't sound as 'hard' as it does on the VSS30 even though the loop function and u-turn/reverse functions are a lot better. I'd still go for the VSS30 every time if i could get hold of one. Cheers Paul Crustypaul  [info-AT-circuitbenders.co.uk]  http://www.circuitbenders.co.uk  04/29/2003 05:54

Hi to you all yamaha old keyboards series! Today is 25 October 2004,and I have just bought one of those extremely rare keyboards,here in Portugal,just for 10 Euros(don´t know how much it is in dollars..etc..) which for me is a very cheap price.I bought it in a place called "feira da ladra" which means "the thieves fair" :P.There you can find the most uninmaginable things at a very very cheap price.. Of course you should be carefull about what you buy(test it before,if not don´t buy if you don´t trust).There are many things that simply don´t work,and it´s non retournable because there´s no guarantee(many of the objects are simply ´borrowed´for someone). Since i go there i´ve seen the most strange and rare things for sale,like a Zx-Spectrum a Commodore Amiga or a Megadrive.Cell Phones(all suspected of being ´borrowed´from someone :P.Playstation 2 Games brand new(2004 games - not isos!driver 3,etc),still wrapped in plastic for sale at 15,30 Euros. I´m getting married tomorrow,26 September.I´m going in a cruise(boat trip)around mediterranean sea,and will return 11 October.Until then:Hasta la vista! :) Ps:I love the Seventies and the Eighties,i´m very nostalgic because some things last forever,like Yamaha Old Keyboards ;) Bye.

Does the Yamaha VSS-200 retain a sample when turned to "off" like the Casio SK-5? So far I think no.....(doing research).....I have not discovered a way to retain a sample on the machine just yet.....is there another battery compartment I don't know about....?....if in fact it does NOT retain a sample...????...what are other folks work-arounds?......get a cool sample thing going on the VSS and then save it to > ___________(fill in the blank with some other machine)...... please e me or post answer within this forum.

Hey I just bought one of these on eBay. It's no way near as good as the SK1 or SK5 though. Does anyone know any good circuit bends for this? In fact any good circuit bends for any sampling keyboard would be appreciated. If I can't bend it I might sell it. Actually I might sell it if I can bend it. I'm getting into this customised toy keyboard lark! Cheers. Will Will  [will-AT-buddhacity.org]  03/09/2005 07:01

Found one on the internet, bought it, played with it for a few days and sold it again (to raise funds for a casio SK-60). I don't like this keyboard, cheap sounds, lots of possibilities to work with your sample, but none to store it. Tried to connect it to a Velleman Kit, very simple sampler for € 25,- (www.velleman.be) worked fine but all I got was a sk-5, and I alredy have one.

The Casio SK-1, SK-10, SK-8, SK-200, SK-5 and the Concertmate clones have all been there before, as well as the Yamaha VSS-30 and VSS-200.

Dear Everyone, Good news.. I found where Yamaha keep all of their old manuals. You can obtain the full manual for ANY Yamaha keyboard at: http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/index.php Go to the page and enter your model number (vss-30, vss-200, etc...) into the MODEL NAME box then click "Search." Manuals come as downloadable .pdf files which require Acrobat Reader (free) to read (for those who didn't know that ;-)) There is no charge for this service. If anyone knows of a similar resource for Casio keyboard manuals, please let me know! Love, Christophe.

Hello! I would like to know how the VSS 200 makes the sounds:when one sound is recorded you can obtain all the do-ré-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do(you say perhaps A-B-C-D-E-F-G I am French and not good at English).

Amazing how many of these things there are around - at least in the UK. I just bought an incredibly minty on one ebay. I like it a lot. A completely different machine to the SK5, which I've had for years and loved. I love having 4 octaves to play with and actually contrary to the above I think some of the onboard sounds are pretty cool - particuarly at low registers. The sampling effects are pretty bizarre but you can get some amazing sounds out of it. It makes me sad that this didn't exist in 1986 when I was bought a Casio MT-500 (You could google it, but I'll explain: a casio keyboard of about this size but with no sampling and seriously poor sounds (the one with four hexagonal yellow drumpads on it). This has a lot more possibilities. delicado  [jonnyp-AT-gmail.com]  11/16/2009 06:37

Hi guys - just picked up one of these bad boys the other day since my friends mum threw out my vss 30 - what a joke!!! im really impressed with it but i hate that you have to sample the built-in sounds in order to manipulate them, losing lots of sound quality. oh well can't have it all. Was just wondering if anyone knew what type of connecter to use for the line-in mic option as can't figure it out? cheers fergus  [fergrapid-AT-gmail.com]  www.fergrapid.com  01/24/2010 07:42

somebody knows if the Yamaha VSS-200 can keep the samplers that u have recorded inside when u turn off the keyboard? like the casio sk-8 and sk-5 do? thanks mau  [chaqway-AT-hotmail.com]  01/31/2010 03:21

I have one of these and I think it's the best of the VSS range, although the VSS-30 does sound a lot nicer. The standout feature of any VSS keyboard is the fact that all effects are performed in real time (ie: instantly) whilst the Casio range of samplers take anywhere from 3 to 6 seconds to apply the effect. For live performances, the VSS keyboards are by far the most versatile and responsive. I'm going to saw off the speaker ends so that the sides are flat and I'm installing cheek ends finished in a lovely walnut woodgrain. I've found the one downside to owning a VSS-200 is that the casing can be very flimsy and fragile, so extra care must be taken when transporting the unit around the place. The VSS-100 is the strongest in the range, whilst the VSS-30 is just as tough. Alex Andersson  [casiosk1-AT-yopmail.com]  02/09/2010 08:22

@mau... No, the VSS-200 does not hold a sample. Not even with backup power. Alex Andersson  [casiosk1-AT-yopmail.com]  02/09/2010 08:37
