YAMAHA PSR-80 / PSR-90
The PSR-90 is a high-end electronic keyboard released by Yamaha in 1987, featuring a 4-operator FM sound generator with PCM drum sounds; it succeeded the PSR-70. The PSR-80 is a simplified version of the PSR-90: it omits features such as Registration Memory, Solo voice editing, and the storage system, and replaces some PSR-90 button controls with slider controls.
The PSR-90/80 was never officially introduced to the Chinese market.
