Akai AX60 Synth w/ Tauntek Upgrade, LA Synth Co Key Contacts, New Switches, Key Felt & Dust Cover

SN 10425-21520

"Akai AX60 analog synth with Tauntek upgrade, new switches, new key contacts, dust cover, and audio/MIDI cables. Everything works great and sounds incredible. The key felt was also replaced, so the key bed no longer has that Ensoniq "clack." The sliders are a little rough, but work without any dropout or crackling. Also note, there is some cosmetic wear (see the photos for details), some of the solder work inside on the control panel might not be to everyone's taste (not my doing), and finally, this synth is HEAVY."

Oberheim Matrix 1000 w/ Stereoping Midi Controller!

via this auction

"Oberheim Matrix 1000 with the Stereoping midi controller included! The controller alone retails for over $500 new. The Matrix 1000 was recently serviced with a new save battery and an updated 1.2 Tauntek OS chip for better midi response. Cosmetically the Matrix 1000 has the usual "rack rash" which is not noticable when you place it on a rack. The front panel is in great condition. Please view the pictures carefully to see the specific physical condition that it is in. Everything functions well and the included controller turns this synth into a powerful instrument allowing you to build your own patches from scratch."

Korg PolySix Analog Polyphonic Synth - Serviced, Tuned with Midi

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Tauntek Midi info: MIDI channel can be set by holding one key down while powering up the Poly6. Low C selects channel 1, C# channel 2, etc. The 17th key selects OMNI mode. Arpeggiator clocking can be set the same way, using keys starting at middle C. Middle C selects local arp clocking (not MIDI, also the default setting). C# selects quarter note clocking, D selects eighth note, D# selects sixteenth note, and E selects thirty-second note arp clocking. The top six keys can be used to set the MIDI note number that maps to the bottom key. Holding the top key at power-up sets the note number to press the bottom key to 60. The next key down selects 48. The next key selects 36, etc. 36 would probably be the "normal" setting. The MIDI channel, MIDI note range, and arp clocking settings are retained until set to different values using the same method."

Oberheim Matrix 1000 v1.20 + Alpes CTRLR

Interesting pic of the back of the controller below.

"6 voice polyphonic analog synth with dedicated controller for real-time editing of the sound parameters.

Synth has been fitted with Tauntek v1.20 firmware (praise this guy for all the work he does for many great electronic instrument). Unit has been serviced and adjusted. Working and sounding as it should. It can run on 100-110-220-240v.

It comes with a dedicated programmer developped by one man (praise him too for that) based on arduino: Alpes Machines Matrix CTRLR

32 knobs and 29 switches to edit ALL the paramaters of the synth including the matrix. You can control up to 4 units (Matrix 6, 6R or 1000) with the same controller and you can store 1000 users presets. And it furthermore adds a great arpeggiator and sequencer. Definitely bring the synth to another dimension.

The controller works perfectly with just an occasional minor bug: screen prints funny caracter or no caracter at all. It resolves by flipping pages on the display or switching the unit off and on. It has no impact on the controller itself or the synth.
