"This synthesizer is in excellent working condition, and has just been cleaned/serviced. Brand-new back-up battery has been installed, with 96 patches loaded and ready to play. All keys, velocity sensitivity, 8 voices, membrane buttons, VFD screens, alpha-numeric displays, potentiometers, pitch/mod wheels, ins/outs, midi, and chord function are working great as they should. Cosmetically, this synth is in excellent condition, with only some minor scuffs and scratches to mention. The AX80 has 8x CEM3372 voice/filter IC's for beautifully lush analog patches, as well as tight-punch, perfect for bass patches. This was AKAI's answer to Oberheim's MATRIX series, and shares many tonal qualities to those synths..."

Anyone know what this is?  The listing states that it is working but not much else.  Sequential Circuits had this MusicMate, but this does not appear to be that.  This is the first Music Mate post.

Update via Pea Hicks of Optigan.com in the comments: "I had one of these about 10 years ago. It was meant for school use. It's essentially a mini divide-down electronic piano. Polyphonic, but with just one bland timbre."

Update2: a couple of pics of the instruction sheets added below.

conjoined transient generators

Published on Aug 23, 2013 cirtcele·92 videos

This vid is a quick start guide to cover some of the basic functions of this module. Once the modes and appropriate pot settings are understood it is quite easy to use and capable of delivering a huge variety of envelopes. The conjoined generator is driven by its own gate input but the envelope that it gives is wholly dependent upon what the main circuit is doing.
It is actually a state variable filter operating at CV rates with VC-Q that allows it to ring, somewhat unique a ringing envelope generator!"
