"This synthesizer is in excellent working condition, and has just been serviced. Brand-new back-up battery has been installed, with factory patches loaded and ready to play. All keys, velocity sensitivity, 8 voices, membrane buttons, VFD screens, alpha-numeric displays, potentiometers, pitch/mod wheels, ins/outs, midi, tape, and chord functions are working great as they should. Cosmetically, this synth is in good condition, with some scuffs/scratches/a few slight indents to the top of the metal case, as well as some chipping on the corners of the side panels to mention (see pics). The AX80 has 8x CEM3372 voice/filter IC's for beautifully lush analog patches, as well as tight-punch, perfect for bass patches. This was AKAI's answer to Oberheim's MATRIX series, and shares many tonal qualities to those synths. Don't pass this one up!!"
