"Excellent overall condition, this enhanced Kawai SX240 synth (with Tauntek) looks much newer than a ~35 year old classic! Made in Hammamatsu, Japan in 1986.Tauntek O/S allows Sysex patch transfers/dumps and MIDI CC, so you can use a MIDI control surface (like Novation Remote SL) for multi-parameter editing. (The 1-at-a-time parameter editing is a big limitation of the original factory O/S.)Just recently professionally cleaned and serviced, including deep cleaning of keybed. All 8 voices work, 24 total OSC. Super creamy, silky SSM2044 filters! All keys, pitch bender, LEDs, and tact switches function, 100% ready for studio or field use!This SX240 is also upgraded with:1) latest Tauntek O/S, so MIDI SYSEX & CC capable.2) a CR2032 coin cell battery holder, no more dumb soldered Lithium batteries! Now it's just an easy-to-replace LiR2032 lithium battery going forward."

ReplyDeleteOK. So, I guess, as all art strives for the condition of Muzak, all synthesizers strive for the price of Andromeda. Remember when prices made sense? No, I don't, either.
