Gakken SX150 mark II : Unbox and test drive

Published on Jan 22, 2015 karenevil

How many of you are familiar with that opening track?

"I got a new toy, Gakken SX150 mark II with very affordable price :D

This products was designed by famous Japanese analog synthesizer builder and the sound quality is very good.

By the way I don't know why but the price of this product is now slashed in Japan, I bought it from amazon.co.jp and it was only 700yen ( about $6 ).

Originally it was more than 7000 yen.

Probably, this product is failed in the market, maybe Gakken miscalculated the market size and overstocked, I don't know real reason but I guess so ;-)

Honestly we can buy two of monotron with such price and build quality of KORG's is much better than Gakken's.

Anyway very difficult market :D"

They are a bit more on Amazon US
You can also find Gakken Synths on eBay of course. The Mk1 was black and the MK2 red. Everything sounds nice with a bit of reverb.

INHALT with the new Sequential Prophet 6

via INHALT

"Now that we can finally say something about it, we have had the wonderful pleasure of designing some patches for the Prophet 6's NAMM debut! Later this year we embark on the factory bank and the Prophet 6 embarks with us to Europe! Here's Matia hard at work at the Dave Smith Instruments office last week ..."

I believe this is the first shot of the Prophet 6 in a studio setting. A little bit of synth history in this pic.

Update: turns out it's at the Dave Smith Instruments office. A different bit of synth history then. :)

"All original Roland SH-1000 from 1973. Works and sounds great for the age. Has been well taken care of except for one of the paddle-buttons that has been glued back (view photo). It comes with the extremely needed original sheet holder (because you need to follow your score!). Will be extremely well packed."
