Yes the portamento, mod, and sustain buttons do transmit over MIDI. I found the manual yesterday online.

Though it looks like a toy, this thing's got MIDI with a pitchbend wheel - more than enough for most triggering stuff. About the cheapest MIDI keyboard you'll ever find!! ('cause most clueless pawn shops etc think it's a toy...) Sounds are pretty cheesy, but it's got portamento, which is a bonus nowadays! Crank it through some distortion pedals and you're set!
Personally, I recently ripped off the mini-keys and soldered in a set of full-size keys - the matrix appears to be a fairly standard type, grab an old organ or something and start hybridising... Of course, you then need to make a new body, but hey...

I just bought this thing at a thrift store for four bucks; it was in the toy section. It's always nice to see people who don't know shit about keyboards, they assume it's a toy because of it's shape and red color. That means I get it cheaper!!! Typical PSS-like sound engine, but still makes a cool little MIDI controller. Does the portamento, vibrato, and sustain buttons transmit over or not? I will try it myself, along with the pitch bend range (PSR 510 like) thing. I'll give it a five out of five for what it is and the price I paid.

I picked up a Yammy SHS-10 at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago. It cost me $2. Everuthing works OK, although the battery door is missing. I have it on my desktop, and use it as a MIDI controller, although it's fun to just switch it on and play, and it takes a lot less room than our Casio CTK-601. Sounds cool thru my guitar amp too, and is more playable on a strap than I thought it would be. First thing I did after buying it, however, was I went to the Yamaha XG site, try this link, http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/menu_f.html and (after upgrading to Adobe Acrobat reader v. 4.0, with japanese fonts), downloaded the manual in PDF format. It is in four languages, and helps with some of the less obvious features like MIDI channle re-assign. BTW, my SHS-10 is red. Don't recognize the demo tune it plays, but I think De knows it...
