Akai AX60 Vintage Analog Synthesizer

"Up for sale, an Akai AX60 in excellent condition and in good working order. Fully tested and undeniably cool, the AX60 is among some of the last true analog polysynths of the mid-eighties. It was Akai's answer to the hugely successful Roland Juno series and Yamaha's new digital DX-series. The AX60 is a programmable six-voice synth with a nice LFO, lowpass (VCF) filter, envelope sections, and more!

Programming this synth is easy using dedicated sliders, knobs and/or buttons for its parameters. It also has a useful noise generator and some other cool functions that include auto-tuning, chorus, a multi-mode arpeggiator and a keyboard that can be split into two key-zones, making it somewhat bi-timbral. All six voices can be stacked in unison mode for a powerful and thick lead sound. Its features and sound make the AX60 a worthy alternative to Roland's Juno 106.

Cosmetically, this particular AX60 is nice and clean, with a few light scuffs and nicks from the past thirty years, but no serious wear there is one cracked B key which has been repaired and is stable."

OP-X PRO-II: 80ies Disco Funk!

Published on Mar 12, 2013
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/opxpro2/d...

"Demo of the D Train O'Jays bank for the SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II virtual analog Oberheim VSTi synth plugin. All sounds are coming from several instances of OP-X PRO-II except for drums and piano plus rhodes.

The featured songs are two famous Electro Disco Soul Funk hits from the early eighties which have that special mix of danceable soul and funk in them:

1. D Train - You're The One For Me (Remix version)

All sounds (chords, bass, sound effects, clavinet, organ) are coming from several instances of OP-X PRO-II except for drums which were done with steinberg groove agent. The only processing is a bit of low eq boost for the bass sound.
