There are so many great sounds in the PSS-380 that one video alone was never going to be enough, so here's the second go around - darker yet mellower.
All sounds you hear in the track were made using the PSS-380. All parts were recorded to a DAW, where EQ and reverb were added as required.
Synth settings are editable via the sliders on the top right of the control panel. If you have one of these keyboards and want to recreate the sounds, here are the parameters:
Main synth = 93 1 8 8 3 3 8 8
Drums = 99 2 3 4 1 3 8 5
Other bass = 76 1 5 5 5 5 1 7
Warm pad = 99 + 99
Sweep = 79 1 8 1 3 4 1 8
End sides = 53 5 5 1 1 4 8 5
Attack synth = 74 4 8 8 8 6 5 8
Saw synth = 23 + 23
FM FX = 31 8-4 5 4 3 8 8 8
Arpeggio atmospheric = 72 1 1 8 7 8 8 7
Pluck = 73 1 1 8 7 5 8 7
Lead = 46 3 7 7 4 6 8 8
Thanks to Chris (Wee Muse) for lending me the 380 - his channel is coming soon for repairs, upgrades and more at: / @weeinnovate-uk

One of those rare tracks that really sounds like it was made in the 80s, sounds like it was made by some 80s guy with his cool new, state of the art synthesizer, working all night, mind unadulterated from the internet, just purely creating.
Awesome!! Yamaha should have kept the faders on the 380 successors
EXCELLENT TRACK MAN !!

Thanks!
Had one of those. Sweet thing. Reverb makes all the difference :)
Hehehe, this is more like the PSS-380 as *I* know it :) Still only scratching the surface. But as always, you make it sound great AND do create a wonderful track again.

Amazing magic sound and cool montage :)
That's a sweet sounding keyboard! The modifications and the sound spectrum that machine has is so surreal! Great mix!
Very creative use of its features. Excellent!!
It would be cool to see you get contracted to do a soundtrack for something. Your songs always kind of make a cool theme and/or atmosphere to me.

Thanks Kenzie!
Very nice stuff and thanks for sharing your settings. I have the 390. Exactly the same just a different paint job.
Nice 👌
I missed this when you posted it, but it's a lovely track. Reminds me a lot of Art of Noise's song Eye of the Needle, partly because they're both a nice groove and because of the pitch envelope.

It's interesting that you frequently produce entirely new sounds. It is uncommon....which is meant in a positive way.

Thanks. The more frivolous novelty sounds on this keyboard (ghost, UFO, etc) are often not very musical on their own, but they make for some great sound design possibilities once you start adapting them with the synth sliders.
Psst.. its me lol. Very nice work as always!

Lots of great sounds. But it doesn't really go anywhere, you should think about making the song have a start middle and end that are all distinct. Mostly I'm impressed how much some good eq and reverb improve on the raw sound (I have the 570; without help it sound so much more like a toy)
man this is one of my new favorites . super raw super clean. how about that bass?? when the snare comes in i could listen to that all day. maybe ive had a couple but it sounds like some stripped back drexciya. keep them coming!

Cool, thanks! And also thanks for literally just introducing me to Drexciya. *enters rabbit hole*
Nice, love it. ;). Thanks for the synth settings too. Question - Do you play around to find a few patches you like and then write music to fit the sound, or the other way around?
@alfonsemusic

Cheers Chris! :) The parts come from the sounds - I improv a few parts when I hear the sound and whatever fits best stays in the recording. That's why some patches don't make the cut, as I didn't get inspired by them at the time.
Sounds like a JD-800 or something.
