"I don't know much about the MIDI interface except that it receives note information on Channel #12 and either mod wheel (#0) or controller #1 (I forgot) controls filter cutoff. There may be other functions, but it's a mystery so can't promise. See back panel pic (#2) for MIDI in and out jacks.

I suspect it's a modern (2000's era) interface because the note timing is very good.. 80s retrofits sometimes had slow CPUs and this is most certainly not a problem here, you'll be able to get immediate response and tight rhythms.

Again, this sounds absolutely superb, there's some aging and nicks on the wood (see photos), and chip on back bottom of wood. and one small scratch on one key, so not "mint", but certainly 100% ready to play, the MIDI helps integrate it into modern studios."
