Akai VX90 True Analog Vintage Synthesizer SN 00650

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction: "the VX90 is somewhat rare in that it's a true analog synth with midi, not DCO, but analog oscillators. It has six-voice polyphony, a dual voice mode, and a uni- voice mode which stacks all six oscillators together for a huge mono voice! 100 voice memory, each one completely programmable. The sound is typically analog, great for fat Moog type bass or lead voice, string pads, atmospheric effects and burbles. It was designed to accept the output from an Akai S612, 700 or 900 sampler, using its internal filters and modulators to effect the incoming samples using the odd multi pin round jack on the back panel. This unit has this capability plus another unidentified connector which I think is either a scsi input or input for a different sampler..."

"Rare original QuickStart manual for roland jd800 synth. Friendly guide to programming a very complicated synthesizer. Some genius spilled some liquid on the back right corner at some point in history but it only caused some cosmetic damage. Pages don't stick together or anything like that."

"Product Description
Would you like to create your own unique analog drum sounds instead of using boring, static samples? If so, you should take a serious look at our DRM1 MKII, it's the perfect drum and percussion module for the job.
The DRM1 MKII is an eight-channel, completely analog drum synthesizer. It gives you total control over every parameter through its 72 (!) controls.

Extended information

There are eight channels, each featuring specific parameters for generating a certain kind of drum and/or percussive sound. They are divided into:

three DRUM channels
one MULTI channel
one SNARE channel
two HI HAT / CYMBAL channels
one CLAP channel
In addition to the main stereo output, every channel is also equipped with an individual output/insert jack, which allows you to insert external effects such as the VERMONA DAF-1 filter or PH-16 phaser.

The DRM1 MKII can be triggered via MIDI - MIDI channel and note number can be freely assigned.

Each channel has its own output/insert jack on the front panel. The rear panel features the master output (L/R), as well as the MIDI IN and THRU jacks. As an option, a group of 10 standard trigger inputs is available that allows use of the DRM1 MKII with analog step sequencers or trigger pads. The DRM1 MKII has an integrated power supply.
The design and construction of the chassis makes it possible to use the DRM1 MKII either in a 19" rack (5U) or as a tabletop unit with the front panel tilted on a convenient angle..."
