I searched for something like this for a long time. Small, 8 bit, sampling function, keyboard. And they are cheap im in love. That sound at 2:07 is very dope.

I had one of these since I was a kid. Didn't realise that it was basically an FM synth and later learned that it was capable of some quite powerful sounds. My favourite thing I ever did with it was recording a chord played on a 12 string guitar drenched in chorus into the sampler and making a reverse pad out of it. Later gave it away which I do regret.

I only came here to hear the VSS-30. But then you played Fun Fun Fun dayo, Lucky Star. Made my day. :D

We had the amazing Yamaha VSS-30 keyboard in 1989! It's much more than a mere toy like some say! The sample option is quite pro! :) Great sampling you did there! 0:53 sec I love the pad right there!

RAYMAN PS1 on 0:34 !!!!! Awesome

Magnificent

Wonderful toy

Legend of Zelda Link to the Past village theme, and Lucky Star BGM. I didn't expect those tunes at first glance. Keep up the good work.

Stephen Baldassarre I suspect because of software. I usually use Battery since I typically only sample drums. The Roland FA series has decent sampling. Plus 2000 preset sounds. I really like those!

Hey! Thanks for the video. Thinking about buying one of this. I'm thinking in using it connected to a sampler, a SP404sx and modify in real time the audio coming from the VSS-30. Also you think would be possible to sample sounds let's say from my phone into this keyboard? Which kind of cable/adapter you think I would need to do all this? I guess I would need 1/8 to1/4 that would be connected from the headphones out of the keyboard to the mic in of my sampler, or 1/8 to RCA if I connected to the line in of my sampler. For sampling a rca mono out from the VSS-30 to a 3.5mm stereo in case I sample from my phone let's say, is this right? Much appreciated!

This is great. Thanks for posting. Just bought one recently, but having issues with the proper cables. To go into Pro Tools just a 8th inch to 1/4 inch mono cable? I did that but I think it was a 1/4 stereo cable and there was so much low end hum coming to the instrument. Ever have that? Also, to sample in, what cable I need to get from pro Tools into the sampler? TRS to what? Been reading about it and ppl say RCA but the RCA jacks I've seen are usually two (red and white). Any ideas? thx!

@tritonrecordings

A 1/8" to 1/4" cable is all you need to come out of the keyboard and into an audio interface. To go from Pro Tools to the VSS, I would come out of either the headphone or a spare line output with a 1/4 to RCA cable. It is mono sampling, so that's where there is only one RCA input.

You've got some really nice samples loaded. I just picked up the vss30 today. You've got me wanting to find some decent samples instead of yelling profanity phrases into it.

Oh rest assured that plenty of inappropriate words and bodily noises were sampled with this when I still had it. Also fun to say things backwards, hit the reverse button, and then a key. Try it. Say "sin eep" and play a key with the reverse mode on. Enjoy.

Hey, I have a really important question: I am thinking about buying the YAMAHA VSS30. In the future im going to kinda travel arround the world and wont carry an external audio interface with me. Is it still possible to record the sound from the VSS30 to Ableton for example? I will only carry arround my Laptop.

There is no computer connectivity on this, given that it is a toy from the late 80's. It will require an audio interface of some kind, I'm afraid.

There's an audio input (RCA) but no MIDI, which isn't surprising considering it's a toy. There are people who have retrofitted this with MIDI but I don't know the parts/process.
