"To me this sounds better than most late 70s minimoogs Ive used and you can save 256 patches on this! This Source is the one you want and will save you a TON of headache in the future. This source has been serviced in 2021 by the best in the business right now, Rosen Sound, and sounds absolutely fantastic. The fine folks at Rosen sound rebuilt the power supply to help future proof the rest of the components and increase stability. They also installed a new Encore Midi which adds midi sync ability, midi in and out, and expands the memory 16 times the original, these are 325 new plus installation. Please research the encore midi system before purchasing. They also replaced the two light sensors for the control knob with NOS parts and calibrated to factory specs. These all will go and these parts are getting harder to find, like damn near impossible, and very hard to install/calibrate. It took Rosen Sound months to source these parts alone and they probably own the last remaining available for these. This control knob is now ready for another 30 years of use and this synth is impossible to control without it. As it is the membrane works perfectly but it also comes with a spare membrane panel from which is supposed to be the best replace panel available for when the membrane experiences problems in the future (they all go bad eventually).
Parts and labor for all of this future proofing on a once very finicky synth was about 1500 dollars. If you buy a different source and want to keep it alive I would expect to pay the same in the near future."

"This listing is for one Korg Poly-61M analog synthesizer. It has the factory-installed MIDI kit and is working great. The battery is brand-new and the insides are free from any sort of battery leakage Korg polys typically have over time if the battery is never replaced. This may be the nicest Poly-61M in existence."

"The SK15 is like a half brother to the SK20. Has most of the same controls, minus a few drawbars and such. Still an amazing, weird stringer."

This slightly dated synthesizer keyboard and home studio centerpiece is still available new. Is it virtual analog or are we dealing with a case of oscillator scam? Is it nothing but a plastic rompler?

Oberheim OB-X voice boards compared to OP-X PRO-II
video upload by SonicProjects
"Oberheim OB-X voice boards tuning trimpots and the autotune function compared to the tuning features of the SonicProjects OP-X PRO-II software VST AU synthesizer.
This is an addition to the 'Voice management and detuning' chapter in the official Tutorial: [posted here]
For this comparison we are having a look at the electronics under the belt of an Oberheim OB-X Rev. 2 with 6 voice cards installed.
OP-X PRO-II internally works exactly the same as a real voltage controlled polyphonic analog synth including separate independent voices, voice-based tuning trimpots, slightly deviating voices caused by device tolerances and temperature drift, and autotune.
The autotune options in OP-X PRO-II however not only cover pitch (as in OB-X) but also filter cutoff (as in Matrix-12), filter envelopes and portamento, and autotune also can be applied seamlessly on demand, so achieving any state between tuned and detuned.
Other than in real voltage controlled polyphonic analog synths OP-X PRO-II can save the state of detunings with the patch and so allows a different sate of detuning for every patch, which was impossible to do in the originals.
SonicProjects invited this engine already back in 2006 with the first version of OP-X PRO (in fact already its precedessor OP-X had it, but not yet offerig user-accessible trimports - only autotune) and was the first plugin manufaturer in the world offering this feature.
In OP-X PRO-II this detuning engine has was extended and refined with a seamless autotune option and quick calibration features."
