"The keyboard keys and synthesizer sounds/functions all work perfectly (key pressure is even, no sticking keys, no intermittent notes, filters sweep cleanly across the full spectrum, etc). All orig hardware, including wood ends, decals, switches and colored tabs (only a couple of the colored slider-top decals missing). The keyboard range is fully in tune (octaves are evenly tuned) and the unit stays in tune extremely well.

This synth is set up in two sections, and thus is really two independent synthesizers in one, which is both unique and allows it to do what other synths can not do. For instance the arpegiator can toggle between the two voices, custom filter settings can be set for each synth section, and a sub oscillator (or ring modulator!) can be assigned to each of the synth sections independently.

It has a professionally designed modification (by Analogue Solutions), thus allowing it to receive cv input for pitch, gate, low pass and high pass filters independently for both of the synth sections (eight 1/8 inch CV inputs all together). This modification works perfectly, and has NOT altered the performance or functionality of the synth in any way whatsoever and is non-obtrusively located near the units outputs. The CV inputs are simply there to allow the synth to be used in conjunction with analog gear or modular synthesizers (as with any cv signals, caution should be exercised to ensure that proper external voltage be used).

There is very little wear visually, just slight buffed areas around the knobs and sliders. No large scratches, and the end pieces are in very good shape (only small nicks in a couple of places).

CV ins:
Top Synth section : gate, pitch, hp filter, lp filter
Bottom Synth section : gate, pitch, hp filter, lp filter"
