Data for a self destructing voice patch for Yamaha PSS-480


At your risk.


The recapped (some of the best capacitors on the planet had been used) PSS-480 does not operate any more. Only some times.


The one just coming from an eBay seller does operate.


So here is a new patch.


The simple idea coming from previous DX7 Air Voice 3 patch (see previous post) is that by full feedback on modulating operator and full level of modulation to modulated operator makes modulated operator or carrier go crazy and emmiting FM white noise.


Then attack settings make sure the noise comes after a while so it all sounds like a polite sinewave morphed to noise while it sings.


Data for the self destructing voice patch is:


parameter (see front panel for PSS-480 algorithm)
value

0
08

1
63

2
00

3
00

4
01

5
01

6
07 (ie full feedback)

7
99 (ie full modulation)

8
77


It's quite funny. While playing you have to lift your hand quickly enough before destruction takes place.
