Yamaha SHS-10

The Yamaha SHS-10 is an innovative keytar that was launched by Yamaha in 1987. This instrument combines the functionality of a classic keyboard with the mobility of a guitar, making it a unique choice for musicians who want to perform both on stage and in the studio. With 32 minikeys and a variety of features, including a pitch-bend wheel, vibrato, and sustain buttons, the SHS-10 offers a wide range of creative possibilities. The built-in FM synthesizer allows users to choose from 25 different voices and supports 6-voice polyphony. The keytar's MIDI functionality is particularly noteworthy, as it enables control of external MIDI devices and the creation of complex arrangements. The ability to transmit drum rhythms and accompaniment parts on separate MIDI channels opens up additional creative options for music production.
