Yamaha probably marketed this synth as an affordable starting device for children. It's a trip to play with and I'm sure if a musician had one stored away in the closet, it should be taken out and the strange noises should be sampled and reconstructed. A plethora of sounds contribute to a vast collection and palette for the musician to work with, no matter how useless an antiquated synth is.

Comments About the Sounds:
The sounds are trippy. This synthesizer does horribly in everything sonically excluding the strange noises.
