"Here are some facts about the synth:
The Soundmaker has 61 keys on its keyboard and therefore covers five complete octaves including C of the sixth octave. You can choose between polyphonic and monophonic registers. A combination of these is also possible - the keyboard can be "split" in the middle.
Polyphonic chords can be played with the right hand and the melody with the left hand. The Soundmaker has five poly registers (piano, harpsichord, honky-tonk piano, brass and brass with vibrato), an external one for Time-typical string ensemble, which is also polyphonic, and a total of twelve monophonic sounds (tuba, trombone, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, oboe, flute, piccolo, accordion, electric bass and electric guitar).
All registers can be easily changed and adjusted with the synthesizer elements on the front of the instrument. In addition, the instrument has a mode in which no preset is activated and the musician can create, save and retrieve his own sound. The synthesizer has two 6.35mm jacks, one each for the polyphonic and monophonic section, as well as a headphone output and an input socket. External noise sources could be integrated into the soundmaker's technology."
Unfortunately this one needs work. Also from the listing: "The synthesizer can be switched on and the various buttons also react, but unfortunately I can't get any sound out."

"Step into my time machine and relive 80's sci-fi soundtrack nirvana without having to deal with that creepy guy at Blockbuster. Please be kind, rewind. Wait, what year is it?
Hate to do this, but this rad little keyboard hardly gets any use anymore so it's time to liquidate. It's a very cool, but slightly beat up RS-09. It sounds excellent, but could probably use some tuning up by a keyboard technician. Sonically everything works as it should, the only mechanical issues are the sunken keys above middle C (they still function though) and the broken switch on the envelope mode. A few of the switch tops are missing/broken but that doesn't impact sound.
This is the 120V version.
Ships as pictured, no case. Sold as is, with no returns or refunds, and no you can't have my copy of Aliens."
