This is the original demo tune of the Yamaha PSS-480, but I replaced the original voices with custom voices made with the digital synthesizer. I've added reverb, delay and eq and pitched down snare, kick drum and the toms a bit.
A full review will be ready soon.

Nice rework. This song became a guilty pleasure, after I was ridiculed by my older brother for liking it. Listening to the demo song on a keyboard was the epitome of uncool, apparently. It always bugged me that it doesn't have a name, so when I made a version of it myself, I named it "Smells of PSS". You're welcome.

Wow. What a trigger. Suddenly I'm back in my childhood bedroom, it's Christmas. Shadow of the Beast on the Amiga, Action Force (GiJoe) Persuader with Back Stop. And this tune. My older brother got the keyboard. Thank you for that.

This was my first keyboard ever and I got it when I was a kid. I still have one. Will never ever part with it. The little FM synth engine in it is actually pretty legit and can make some totally brutal basses. P.S. That sounded absolutely fantastic.

Your channel convinced me to try and get one of these, and i found one today for 10$ Canadian on market place! So stoked! I used to have a pss-460, but the lack of midi and limited tweaks you can make with the sliders left me wanting more. I also used to have a dx-reface but, while it sounded nice, was kind of annoying in terms of menu diving. I am already enjoying this waaay more!

I'm surprised that the tone of the built-in demo song, which is not normally possible, has been replaced! By the way, was this song composed in-house by YAMAHA? Or was it a hit song at the time? ... Postscript: Thank you to everyone who responded. It's amazing that the Yamaha PSS480 demo song outputs the performance as a MIDI signal. As far as I know, demo songs usually didn't output MIDI data.

Being an owner of the bigger brother PSS-780 myself, I have only one question: How on earth did you manage to pitch down the drum sounds? Did you use a plug-in in your DAW or something? Because this is actually the only bad thing about these machines. The bass drum is missing a bottom end. The EQ on my mixer cannot even boost anything there (around 80 Hz) because the sound simply hasn't any lower frequencies that could be boosted...
