"The Korg X-911 is a very underestimated synth. What it was intended to be, was a stand alone guitar synthesizer. What it now represents, in these enlightened times, is an all analog, quite unique, signal processor/effects unit. Whereas a true guitar synth really requires its own dedicated pickup arrangement, this unit simply accepts a standard 1/4" jack input. Just patch your guitar, microphone, or other instrument into the X-911 and play one note at a time."
"Fully refurbished by professionals and better than the rest. This required 5 hours of highly skilled expert synth tech labor. This unit was cleaned inside and out. We replaced all electrolytic capacitors. We opened, cleaned and lubed all pots and switches and cleaned all jacks. The end result is an X911 that works perfectly and sounds great that's justifiably priced higher than the typical junk on the market and that's ready for its next happy home.
"This is a detailed Demo video on how to use the vintage korg X911 Guitar Synthesizer as an external processing unit. There are many demos of it doing what it's "supposed" to be for - as a mono guitar synthesizer, This video is different. I feed a Roland TR606 drum machine into the preset Synth and the filter sides of the unit as well as running it through it's paces using the "guitar", "distortion" and Synthe Wah sections. The resulting mayhem and freaknoise are music to my ears. I hope you enjoy.
"There's no real purpose for this video, other than me just having a little fun with these two pieces of gear this morning. The Korg X-911 [X911] is a vintage guitar synthesizer pedal. You can do quite a lot of different things with it. Here, I used the Moog Cp-251 control processor to create a rhythmic filter sweep, similar to a wah pedal, and just played a little chord pattern. Then I used a keyboard sustain pedal in the X-911's hold input to keep the trigger open. When you are in VCO mode it doesn't change notes with you though, so it can give you kind of funny results sometimes. My guess is because the trigger in VCO mode uses tracking, and it only tracks one note per trigger. It'd be awesome if there was a release time knob for the trigger, it would help the trigger release sound a lot more natural. That's why you hear the note cut out once or twice. It was still a lot of fun though!"
"I've noticed that there ain't many demos of this rare enough guitar synth used as an actual synth. This is just one live take sequenced with a korg sq1 with the aid of a light kick from an acid lab Miami. Barely scratching the surface of what this thing can do... Will upload a more in depth clip at a later stage. Thinking about selling so if interested get in touch"
"Lots of crazy effects and processing to be had out of this, great with guitar, bass, synthesizers, drums, mics, etc. Especially useful CV in/out converter for interfacing your instruments with modular synths."
"This is a very cool machine to create weird effect sounds and to feed with all kinds of signals.
As a guitar synth it is quite ok but as effect unit it is a fantastic toy.
This Korg X911 is in good condition, with some normal age related wear and fully working.
No crackling pots or dead switches.
Comes with original manual."
"Need some RAD Korg synth tones, but don't feel like lugging your MS-20 around? Here is the compact solution! Lots of gain/sensitivity control, so you can get a much more reliable, better tracking sound versus other vintage effects of this type. Works very well with keyboards, vocals, drum machines, etc. Use it as a control system for your other CV/Gate effects and instruments! Loads of fun and mayhem for years to come."

"unique and rare korg guitar synthesizer - no special pickup needed - just plug guitar / synth / vocals whatever in the box - also features killer ms20 filter and some great distortion. reluctantly selling as it needs a little bit of calibration, i don't have the time. one light on the 'instrument' section doesn't light but this doesn't seem to affect the sound. therefor, sold as seen. will sell with user manuals."

A funky little Korg X-911. Tracks quite well. Just fooling around on the Video.
May modify this to be a little modular as actually there is a lot of stuff in this little box according to this site http://home.swipnet.se/~w-49485/x911.htm"
