"Akai AX-60 Analog Synthesizer. The Synth is in good condition considering the 30+ years of age. All Knobs and sliders are operating as they should, no missing slider caps or knobs. Powerful "Dark" sounding synth with an extraordinary aggressive Filter. This is a VCO (Voltage Control Oscillator) Synth not a DCO (Digitally controlled) Some minor scratches here and there, especially on the underside. One side cheek has some marks (see pictures)

The Synth has a dedicated connector to the Akai S612 Sampler which can be used as a second oscillator of sorts. The connector cable can also be customized to route any other sound source through the filters of the AX-60. Very cool feature."

1986 AKAI AX 60 ANALOG VCO POLYPHONIC SYNTHESIZER by Distance Research

Published on Dec 3, 2012 distanceresearch

"Ok, not quite a Juno, or a Polysix. However it's a very unique analog machine, capable of FM sounding distortion and almost digital crispness- yet it is a VCO synth. What I can say is that a Juno cannot make these sounds. I like it for classic 80's leads and pads, and some edgy electro sounds. You can get some great sounds from this machine and if you love synths it's worth the money just for a few of the features. One thing to consider is that many of the synths it is compared to are better, but recognizable, the AX 60 is sort of sleeper, much like Danelectro guitars were in the 90's. A cool and good alternative for sure. A few of the sounds I enjoy on this machine including some arpeggios."

1960'S RAJ MUSICALS SARAANG 4 OSCILLATOR ANALOG TANPURA by Distrance Research

Published on Dec 18, 2012 distanceresearch

"Pretty rare instrument. From what I gather Raj Musicals is kind of the Yamaha/Casio of Indian instruments in modern times. In the 60's maybe 70's they produced the Saraang Deluxe analog tanpura. It runs on C batteries or power cord, has a built in speaker and 1/8" output. Produces some pretty pleasing drone sounds from its 6 note sequence. Pretty fun little analog machine, capable of pleasing detuning and tone manipulating."

Update via Loscha in the comments: "These are actually from the 90s, although they surely do look 60s.

I contacted Radel Saraang for information about these devices,and they no longer had the schematic, but, confirmed manufacturing time frame."
