" Here for sale is rare vintage analog synth from Japan - Akai VX600. It is compact and complex analog synth. Can be compared to Oberheim Expander, due to complex modulation matrix.It has strong and full sounding cem3374 as vco, and it is true vco. You need about 5-10 minutes to wait after power on, to go in tune, because its true vco architecture. So, its knobs on the face panel just
working with special wind controller from Akai, but as i know there are some info on the web, to modify it to ordinary synth knobs, to make realtime analog madness. Its synth parameters can be controlled by Midi CC, via modulation matrix, very cool feature for synchronization with your cubase or so. It is 6 voice polyphonic and 6 parts multytimbral, so you can drive 6 independent monosynths from it in real time.
You'll need to make just one additional cord with 13-din plug for this. So overal it is good sounding mashine, some sort of mix between Roland mks80 and Sci prophet 5 in its sound character. It is in nice cosmetic shape, just ussual micro dings in some places. And of course it is in fully working condition. I install common euro ac outlet on its back, so you can use any ussual power cord for this.
Backlight of screen is dead, it is known problem of this mashines, nonetheless screen is easy readable. You can get new backlight for the screen from - backlight4you.com"
