"For sale is the Kawai SX-240, a classic, very rare and unique sounding dual DCO multi-waveform Analog Synthesizer (made in 1984) with SAW, SQUARE, PULSE (2nd LFO), BRASS (Ring Modulation) waveform, 8-voices of polyphony, an additional SUB Oscillator, Poly8/4/mono modes, a super-warm, lush, on-board chorus/ensemble effect, 8-SSM 2044 filters (used on Korg Mono/poly, Korg Trident, Korg Polysix, Kawai SX-210, Kawai K3 etc), a general LFO that can be routed everywhere in the DCO, VCF and the VCA, MIDI In/Out/Through, Portamento, Glissando, a 8-digits LED screen for editing the parameters and the option of being placed in Split or Dual patch modes. In Split mode you can assign two patches to be played in a split on the keyboard. In Dual mode two patches can be played at the same time for a rich, warm and layered sound, not very common in Analog Synthesizers. It has also a built-in, real time 1,500 note sequencer and chord memory. Kawai SX-240 has a great rich, lush and unique analog sound to it that can't be reproduced by today's modern synthesizers.
Cosmetically: Never gigged, always stayed in pet/smoke free Home Studio, so it is in very good condition, please see pictures. There are a few wear and marks here and there, but nothing major.
Technically:
It has recently been completely overhauled by a professional synth engineer and it is in perfect working order:
power supply (220V) & voice/chorus boards electrolytic capacitors have been replaced with the best quality ones
new battery has been installed (NI-Cad original battery removed a long time ago)
internal boards and keyboard contacts have been cleaned
the instrument has been calibrated
factory presets have been restored
With the above expensive restoration work, the instrument operates with even better and long lasting quality components, making this Kawai SX-240, one of the best you can ever find on eBay..."
