"This is a 4-voice analog synthesizer with 24 built-in programs. It has a powerful sound and has many knobs and levers that allow you to change the quality of the voices as you are playing it.

I had a lot of fun using it in the 1990s, when I played it in an indie rock band for a couple of years. It worked great for reproducing some of the sounds heard in songs by The Who and other 1980s bands. When the sound of the band changed, I put the keyboard in storage, and it has been there ever since. I just took it out this year (2018), and found that all the presets and filters are in good working order, and it still makes that delicious analog sound.

It has not been serviced since I have owned it.

It is in good working condition except for one thing: when the pitch bender is bent up, it lands on a note that is higher than the original note played. However, when the pitch bender is bent back down, it lands on the correct note."
