Akai AX60 Polyphonic Synth
classic 6 voice analog polysynth from , some unusual features compared to similar synths from roland and korg: resonance is rather crazy and you can modulate the filter with the oscillators for some splattery modular-type weirdness. the lfo has saw, triangle, square & random settings, the arpeggiator has a programmable setting (besides the usual up / down / up/down), there's a separate lfo for the pwm only...also it's got in a socket in the back so you can plug an akai sampler (s612, s900 & s950 i think. i'll chuck in the 13-pin din connector you need) in to it and run the samples through the synths filter and mix it with the synth voices....and you can split the keyboard and have two different sounds going at the same time if you want. they seem to be fairly rare in europe but fairly common in america and i guess this came from there as it runs on 120 volts but comes with a step down transformer so it's ready to play. unfortunately this one has a few issues but is pretty much fully working...: the only thing on it that isn't working at all is the high pass filter fader. this has never troubled me as i don't find that feature particularly useful...the low pass filter works totally fine and that's where the fun's to be had. besides that, there's a few faders that act a bit jumpy sometimes and a few buttons that double trigger quite often. i would imagine that most of this could be sorted out by a good service but i've already got too much stuff so moving it on in this condition. cosmetically, there's a few scratches on the top panel and some of the block diagram has worn off a bit. there's a small dent in the back panel next to the output socket and the glass has come loose over the LED display. feel free to come and try it out, it's a lot of fun. swaps or part ex for other synth/drum machine type stuff considered.
