1986 AKAI AX 60 ANALOG VCO POLYPHONIC SYNTHESIZER by Distance Research


Published on Dec 3, 2012 distanceresearch

"Ok, not quite a Juno, or a Polysix. However it's a very unique analog machine, capable of FM sounding distortion and almost digital crispness- yet it is a VCO synth. What I can say is that a Juno cannot make these sounds. I like it for classic 80's leads and pads, and some edgy electro sounds. You can get some great sounds from this machine and if you love synths it's worth the money just for a few of the features. One thing to consider is that many of the synths it is compared to are better, but recognizable, the AX 60 is sort of sleeper, much like Danelectro guitars were in the 90's. A cool and good alternative for sure. A few of the sounds I enjoy on this machine including some arpeggios."
