"This is a rare Sequential Circuits Max analog synthesizer + original 8VAC power adapter, operation manual and midiguide.

The synth is in good working condition.

The only thing I noticed is that the included power adapter seems to work better when connected straight to the wall. When connected to a power strip, it doesn't make a contact unless the plug is pulled out of the strip a little bit.

The synth has 80 built in presets that are divided into groups - Organ, Brass, Strings/woodwinds, Keyboards, Bass/percussion, Synthesizer I, Synthesizer II, Special Effects. There are also 20 presets that can be programmed via an external computer.

The built in preset parameters can only be changed using an external computer and compatible software and you won't be able to access the programmed presets (80-99) unless you programmed these presets using the software.

Originally, Sequential Circuits sold a Commodore 64 software called Model 920 that was designed to edit the Max parameters, however, there are few PC and MAC softwares that you can use these days. I managed to edit the synth parameters using a software called 'ctrlr' with the downloadable Sixtrak panel. Ctlrlr is a free software and it's available on ctrlr.org."
