Akai VX-90

With an identical voice structure to the AX-73, the VX-90 is little more than a rack-mount version. It is a MIDI equipped six-voice analog synthesizer with advanced digital controls and functions. Like the AX-73 it has an auto-tune function and a really nice VCF lowpass/hipass filter and envelope section. The VX-90's memory capacity holds up to 100 patches. It can be played polyphonically or in a stacked unison mode for that thick lead sound for your rave and techno anthems. A really cool feature of the VX-90 is that you can plug the Akai S-612, S-900 and S-950 samplers in to it and run their samples through the VX-90's analog filter and envelope sections.

In my experience with this synth for 10 years, I can say this is one of the most stable / robust vintage synth.
