"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..."

Beilfuss Step Synthesizer Fireside Chat

"Back in the basement with Keith Williams, we focus our attention on the right side of the Beilfuss Step Synthesizer. This side turns out to be an awful lot like the left side, which makes sense if you watch the video.
We are also treated to some audio samples of what you can do with this instrument. Granted, that basement reverb is something you're going to have to add yourself!"
Beilfuss Step Synthesizer Comes Blinking Out Of The Basement
Uploaded on Mar 26, 2011
"Once-ler-like, Keith Williams demonstrates his Step Synth with disembodied, gesturing arms. The seemingly shy inventor simply wants to focus all attention on his new Step synthesizer.
According to the Beilfuss Synthesizer Company:
This thought-through system is the optimization of flexibility with controllability for keyboard. The step synthesizer brings new, never before heard, electronic sounds to music.
Unlike any analog or digital synthesizer's controls, the patented tone control consists of sixteen steps simply outlining the waveform as set by the Signal Controls you see at the left of the control panel. Similarly, the envelope and filter contour transients and their time intervals are also set by the Signal Controls for rhythms or extended notes. You may easily add prompted, parallel voicings, combining settings of both sides for complex notes.There are 32 controls and 142 pushbuttons for direct programming. Dedicated LED pushbuttons always read out their side of the full eight octave, split keyboard. Five octaves of transposition are possible.
See what you think in this introductory demo!"
