"The AKAI AX60 is a 6-voice polyphonic programmable analog synthesizer with a 5-octave, 61-note (C-C) keyboard. It's in an excellent shape for its age, all knobs and sliders are operating as they should, no missing slider caps or knobs. Powerful "Dark" sounding synth with an extraordinary aggressive Filter. This is a VCO (Voltage Control Oscillator) Synth not a DCO (Digitally controlled)

One of the nice features about this synthesizer is that it has a 13-pin input that allows you to hook it up to an AKAI sampler (S612/700, X7000) and input the samples to be processed with the AX60's internal synth engine (VCF's, VCA's, effects, etc...). Combined with the keyboard splitting capabilities, this allows you to play the sampler via one of the split sides. The sampler/AX60 combination is unique in that it is one of the few ways that samples can be treated with real analog filters."
