These are very popular. Bummer there is no percussion, but the amount of tweaking possible makes up for it. Tony Mason www.tonymason.com 05/13/2002 12:37 |

Hello everyone,
I'm wanting to do some simple and tweekable sampling.
If anyone has one of these boards for sale drop me a line.
Thanks,

Wrong- You can overwrite more than 2 samples!- The sound just gets noisier and more mushy. I rekon the vss30 is the best toy-sampler of the lot-way better than the sk-1 ;-)
This is a really COOL instrument!!!! Sound quality is more akin to an Emulator and/or Fairlight- just with more noise. The synthesis section is wicked and will affect the internal sounds as well
as the samples. If you turn the frquency modulation on then off, then turn on the vibrato, you can adjust the vibrato speed with the data entry buttons- 2 types of FM!! The vss30 also responds
very well to circuit bending producing all kinds of ring modulation and distortion types, as well as frequency doubling etc. etc. All in All this keyboard is far too versatile with too many hidden tricks
to mention here. I will *NEVER* part with my vss30 (which cost me £1 from a boot sale- the English equivelent of a garage sale!!!) If anybody wants to contact me, log on to Yahoo Groups' "SK-1" list- it's way more fun :-) Tom 11/04/2002 02:21 |

This machine rocks hard. I laughed at the Sk1 buyers in the late 80's. I picked mine up at a TARGET store! How's that for a gem hiding among thorns? What no one mentions is the ability of the Vss30 to replicate the sound of the old Mellotrons. Just sample a choir or cello from the lin-in and voila, you have Melotron. VERY< VERY< VERTY cool little keyboard. Matt 12/24/2002 11:02 |

Nice unit - just found one available locally ($110). One question: Was this not designed to save samples after being turned off? Mine doesn't.

this is crazy... i got mine at goodwill for two dollars. i got a casio 310 *wood paneling?!* recently as an upgrade, i don't use mine much. email me if you'd be interested in paying more than i did for it. Justin [letdowntourist@yahoo.com] 07/01/2003 10:11 |

Well, I am lucky. I am a canadian living in japan and i just bought a VSS-30 for a mere 35$US. It hasnt been delivered yet (Yahoo Auctions Japan) but Ive downloaded the manual from Yamahas Old Manuals page.
I swear, if you are innarested in collecting old keyboards, Japan is the place to be. In the last 3 months I bought a Yamaha FB-01, a yamaha CS15, a roland juno 6 and a roland rs09, and the total I paid for four synths is 350$US - less than I bought my MS2000R for.

These are becoming more and more popular I would guess largely because Jonsi from 'Sigur Ros' uses one and swears by it. I'm also trying to find one, but will hold out for one in the paper or cash generators to keep the cost down. I'd pay no more than £40 (uk) cos i'm skint. nick [nick@01458.com] www.jaywalk.biz 07/16/2003 07:03 |
|
haha, that's exactly why i've just got one, jonsi from sigur ros always namechecks the vss 30. can't wait for it to be delivered! chris 08/05/2003 03:28 |
|
I love my VSS-30... I really want to circuitbend one, but I heard they weren't to bendable (compared to SK-1 at least) so I'm leaving well enough alone until I find another.
It's especially great for noisy drum loops...you can really mess up the loop by repeatedly hitting the ping-pong reverse effect etc... Cementimental [http://www.cementimental.com] tim at spiteyourface dot com 08/17/2003 04:25 |

do you lose the samples when you turn it off??? wayne clark [voltarobot@voltaseven.com] www.voltaseven.com 08/29/2003 08:30 |

I just picked up one of these for $2 (!) at a thrift shop. I *love* it, but I've never used anything like this before, so I really don't know how to make the most of it. Sampling...? Would anyone out there be willing to share the manual with me? Thanks. dorothy [dorothyk@pwshift.com] www.wellofstars.com 08/30/2003 06:00 |

Contrary to popular belief, the Yamaha VSS models are all EXTREMELY good for circuit bending. They are just not as easy to do as the Casio SK's, so I think alot of people give up before finding the "sweet spots". I've bent several Yamaha VSS's. Mostly the 30 and 100 models. Feel free to contact me for more info. I bend and sell instruments every week, and am open to taking on custom projects by request. dustindustrial [dustindustrial20@aol.com] http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/555/dustindustrial.html 09/04/2003 11:43 |

I remember playing with a friend's VSS30 back in 1998, and I sat there for HOURS AND HOURS having fun with it...there's nothing better than making prank phone calls with a VSS30 near the receiver. Anyway, if anyone has one for sale, please let me know. Matt [themutualfeelings@hotmail.com] 09/22/2003 07:06 |

I'm really looking for one of these. Please let me know if you have one for sell $100 range Thanks Adam [swalz1@hotmail.com] 11/12/2003 10:15 |

you guys are rediculous. 5 years ago these things were fetching a whooping 3 dollars on ebay. But Sigur ROs comes around and mentions them, and all the sudden it's a fucking vintage instrument.
My mother gave me one when i was age 8 and yes, it was a cool instrument. but 100 and above? Don't be absurd, people. Aaron Evans [idealflaw@hotmail.com] 11/14/2003 07:18 |

Yeah, well, as soon as hip-for-now bands start name dropping anything, fools will fall in line. As long as someone ELSE makes it cool, first. Shmiddy 12/05/2003 09:03 |

yes! this is the keyboard I had once, but I can't remember if I sold it or whatever might have happened. Anyway guys...keyboards of today, are so impersonal and Casio don't make so many different kinds of them. Or is it just nostalgia? Anyway, even though I had pro. tools later, I have come to the age where I am thinking about getting those keyboard that I wanted so much but usually couldn'tafford as a kid. So I am grateful to the creator of this site....made my remeber the good old days. hehehe. Have a good one folks! If any of you know if there are sites like this for other casio keyboards of the 80s, I would be happy to know.

Been a fan of the VSS-30 for a long time. I still have mine and won't part with it. Oversampling, ADSR controls, internal FX. Even the voices can be modified. Everything I sample into it comes out new and inspiring. I can sit for hours with this thing. I always liked the Portasounds, but this is by far my favorite. You can even edit the lenght of your sample in it. Yeah it's old and 8 bit, but it still stands up. Great for noisy, beautiful sounds.. and I dug this thing before people started the hype.. Everett Smith [evsmith1167@mac.com] 01/26/2004 01:08 |
|
Yes, it looses its sound when you turn it off.
Immediately after pressing the sample button you press a keyboard key to say
at which quality it should record, like from 1.2s up to 3.x seconds,
so you get real long samples, then press 'U-turn' and press 'loop',
then usingADSR put a slow attack and some vibrato/amplitude modulation and you got fat pads.
I also sampled drum loops...
you cant get that 8bit sound with any other gear.
I lost mine during a house move *sob* .....
I would buy one now for $50. tay [tay@aajohansen.bizland.com] 01/26/2004 03:59 |

hi, i have a yamaha vss-30 in mint condition still in it's original box, that i am thinking of selling. i live in britain. any idea how much i can get for it? emma [emma_compton@hotmail.com] 02/16/2004 05:24 |

i just got a vss-100 on e-bey for 20 squid. does anyone know if there is any real difference in the vss-30?. halli [h.gudmundsson@lipa.ac.uk] 02/20/2004 09:14 |
|
Got mine for ten bucks when i was in eigth grade, some kid i knew was making industrial music with it. He parted with the item for ten dollars. I have used it many many many times since then. This baby shines when you run it into a nice clean pre-amp/d.i. box, to capture every detail of the grit it spits out, it really is just beautiful sounding. I wouldn't say this is a fluke because of sigur ros, i've been using it for years before with no mention of it from anyone else. I also second running choirs into it. Take all your other synth's and just run them into this baby, sample off middle c.....slightly overdriving the input... and your set for hours of fun. arit [arit(@)Digitalsoulution.com] www.digitalsoulution.com 02/23/2004 07:54 |

Well, responding to the query above, there are quite a few difference between the VSS-100 and 30. The 100 has 49 keys, a detachable mic, and about 25 FM tones/beats. No looping or FX. The 100 does have one cool ability that the 30 doesn't. You are able to put up to 4 samples in it and spread them out over 4 octaves on the keyboard. I remember using this feature all the time when I had it. It also has a LED bar that shows the level that you are recording into the unit. The 100 was my first unit. But I love the 30. I was lucky enough to score a second one. Everett Smith [evsmith1167@mac.com] 02/24/2004 10:50 |

The VSS-30 is definatly the best sounding of all the toy samplers. Theres just soumething magical about its 'bastard hard' sampling quality. If you want to circuitbend one just find the RAM chip (16 pin chip nest to the big control chip) and short the pins together as you play a sample. Instant sample grinding! crustypaul [crustypaul@hotmail.com] http://www.circuitbenders.co.uk 05/09/2004 08:13 |

I just got mine new and I must say it's "cooler" then the sk-1 in many ways and I find myself using it more the the sk-1 or 5...and even 8. The best thing about it is there's so much space to bend it. I added midi and all kinds of things and still have space for more.

I stumbled across my VSS-30 in a skip in Clapham, London by pure chance! It was awaiting the Bin Men! Took over my life when i put some batteries in it and sussed out what it was capable of! George [george@geoffreytew.co.uk] 12/15/2004 06:39 |
|
It's a great machine. I've been using one for over ten years now. Got mine in a pawn shop for about 40 bucks and it sounds so much better than any of the SK's i've owned. The AC adapter plug has a lose wire so I use batteries and notice a MUSCH cleaner sound with a fresh set of batteries than when plugged in. The textures are infinitely explorable. I always tried to convince folks it was a special machine but nobody took it seriously unless they heard it and the freq mod, etc.
Wouldn't ever sell mine and I fear it's age and wear may make for a short life span so I only use it when I'm seriously recording and researching new sounds. I want to buy a brand new one in the box so I dont live in fear of my 30 dying on me some day because it's a statple in my sound and has been since I first laid hands on it.
No, it does NOT save samples when turned off. That's normal. Overwriting is indefinite as far as I know. I always use three overlayed sounds but any more than that makes for pure noise.
Good luck to those of you looking for one.
They go great through FX processers like pedals, etc. It's incredibe. mooneyeOne 02/26/2005 01:34 |

EXPERT TIP NO.1:
For a better loop: Always start with a snare hit when sampling a beat. Liam Howlett 04/20/2005 06:53 |

can someone tell me where to find manuals online. i love my 30 but wonder if there is something i can learn. i can send a sase w/$5 if someone makes a copy that resembles one. the same goes for the 200 series
i want to sell or trade mine so it would be cool to have the manual to give along with it.
thank you,

I bought mine at a closeout sale at MACY'S on 34th Street 1988 if I recall, its been used for many a gig and been lugged back and forth across the country; its such a great little unit. I only wish I'd bought more then as they were on sale for $30, but that was a lot of money when I was a starving student. Can't give you any real tips, but just experiment with it and you'll find cool sounds. jim hildreth [tesla69@hotmail.com] 06/02/2005 04:17 |
|
Can someone tell me how you can tour like Sigur Ros have with the VSS-30 and play songs requiring sounds from this unit without being able to save samples after you turn it off? Dante Jonze 06/24/2005 12:37 |

its easy becuase he just records his own voice siging a note so its not that hard to do that before every show. seth 06/28/2005 07:24 |

Hi! I'm looking too trade a Casio SK-5 (Concertmate 650) in perfect condition for a Yamaha VSS-30. I already own a Casio Sk-8 so I was looking to diversify. The Sk-5 is a great tool, stores up to 4 samples in non-volatile memory. Tweakability includes reverse, tune +/-, envelope, loop. Not as many FX as the VSS-30, but it also can hold 4 samples in memory that aren't erased on power down. Also, with highly Liquid's SKM midi kit, the SK-5 makes a great drum sampler as you can trigger all four sample pads via midi. Ok, thats my sale point.....if your interested contact me @ Plutonique9(At)hotmail.com <-replace (at) with @. I can provide many refernces and I'd hope for the same from any prospective traders. VSS-30 must be in good working condition, no dodgy circuit-bends etc.

I wish I still had mine.......I'd trade it to the guy above me for that Casio SK-5. Not that these ain't cool.....If I found another one for a fairly reasonable price....I'd be all over it....but these are bringing obscene amounts of cash! Once I was on Ebay, and I could've gotten an Akai S1000KB for not much more than the VSS-30 someone was selling........but I was too broke to buy either ): Would've went with the Akai.

Hi there!
At first, this is a great site with an even greater domain! Yiha!
Second, the VSS-30 is definetly GREAT! And was my first sampling keyboard I got. Well, that is just 3 years now ago. But this is really great fun. Try to sample a really laughter and then let the demo run with the laughter. You'll then even more laugh! :-)
So, good luck to all you in search for one!

Hi, i am currently looking for someone to modify my Tr707 drum machine unit. I have seen several sites that have used cicuit bending techniques to get great sound, but most reside in the Australia, and U.K. I reside in the Toronto area.

This looks exactly like the keyboard I had in the late 1980's-early 1990's. I chose this keyboard specifically for its sampling capability. I happen to have some recordings of this instrument, mostly hymns. Unfortunately it fell apart. I also like the layering capability, my favorite layered samples being tenor recorder, soprano recorder, and penny whistle (low and high registers). Add the envelope generator, and it sounds just like a pipe organ in a cathedral. The effect was quite good for its price. Thomas Bailey [Baker_Beach@yahoo.com] 03/19/2007 04:01 |

Brilliant keyboard. Got one from a charity shop in the original box for £15 must be 5 years ago now. Well worth it, I've used it on countless recordings over the years. Great for anything from avante-garde sound collages to folk music! Unfortunately it's lost a few keys from gigging ( we had a german singer who managed to kill of several of my treasured casios through clumsiness!). Still just about works though. I used to make loops by putting an elastic band round the keyboard to hold the keys down! chad [c5mason@ccn.ac.uk] www.myspace.com/teknikov 11/19/2007 11:39 |
