"Made in Switzerland by Spectral Audio, this is a one-unit rack module with full MID implementation and an aggressive analogue sound.
Syntrack combines a Digital Wavetable Oscillator with an Analogue Filter (Cascade Filter). The Filter Output passes through the Analogue Distorter which shapes your Sound to be powerful and rough. The Syntrack offers 99 Programs and easy programming because each Parameter has a Pot. Every Operation on the Knobs will cause a Controller to be send to MIDI Out. And each Parameter listens to its Controller on MIDI In. The Lamps above the Knobs displays a MIDI controller remote of the pots or a setting of this parameter by the program. The Wavetable can be expanded by a second chip. The Syntrack also offers an external audio input.
Features
99 Programs (1 .. 29 = Presets, 30 .. 99 = free definable Programs)
Wavetable Oscillator with 100 Waves (expandable to 200)
Analogue 24 dB Cascade Filter with Resonance and Self oscillation
2 Envelopes
LFO
Full MIDI Control
Velocity and After touch sensitivity
Key follow
Retrigger Function
MIDI In / Out / Thru
Audio Filter Input
19" / 1 Rack Spaces
Light Blue coloured Front Panel"

"This is a very basic analog synth, designed by David Cockerell who designed all the coolest EH stuff & also worked on the EMS synths. It has a very growly, distinctive filter! Played from the 'keys' it's good-sounding & very straightforward (no envelope!) but spend a bit of time with it, mess around with the sliders while you're playing & you'll be surprised at the 'hidden' sounds you can get.
All but 3 of the slider caps are original & intact. The other 3 are missing but this is purely cosmetic and can be replaced quite easily! The cardboard back has a little wear around the sockets, & the battery clips show no sign of any leaks or corrosion at all.
There's a particularly nice PWM bass sound, very reminiscent of the riff of Being Boiled (Human League), which would have been a Korg 700s, I think?
I'm not entirely sure what the deal is with the SENS setting. There is a Piezo mic stuck underneath the touchpad, which I'm guessing might re-trigger the filter if you tap the keys? Looking at Youtube, there are videos that claim to show it working but I'm not convinced. As far as I can tell, the Sens setting seems to have no effect on filter or triggering or anything..
Works from 2x 9v batteries & has an internal speaker. I think this sounds great with batteries and through the speaker. However to do it justice, you need to connect it to your sound system. Add a few external effects and it can sound great in your mix. There is a 1/4" Output socket & a 1/8" socket for a PSU. I have never used this with a PSU..."

"This was produced at a time when the Yamaha DX7 ruled the roost in the digital world and Roland's Jupiter held sway in the analogue world. Akai were working with Roger Linn on the Linn Drum as well as developing their early samplers [This has a sampler socket which apparently means you could control the S-612 and later Samplers from the keyboard] It's an analogue synth but digitally controlled [on board or over MIDI] and it can make some really fat sounds. The pads are smooth and blend well in a mix, or you can pile all the oscillators on top of each other in mono-mode to get a screaming lead or full-bodied bass out of it . There are various demos of AX73's on youtube if you want an idea of what it can do in the right hands..."
