Kawai • SX-240
The SX-240 is a programmable polyphonic analog keyboard synthesizer with MIDI from Kawai. It was originally released under the Teisco brand-name. It is a well rounded analog synth with 2 DCOs (pulse, sawtooth and sub-osc), a lowpass filter with ADSR envelope, a flexible LFO, MIDI and 48 memory patches. In terms of patch editing, the SX-240 is very much like a Roland Alpha Juno or Moog Source which resort to using a dedicated data-wheel to edit the values of selected parameters when you edit sounds. It also has a built-in real-time 1500 note sequencer and chord memory. And the sequencer can be split into 8 separate 200 note songs, roughly. The SX-240 is cheaper and comparable to similar Sequential synthesizers from this time period like the SixTrak and the Prophet 600, but sound-wise, is not as popular or cool as them or any of the Roland synthesizers either.
NOTE: some users may have to "turn up the volume a bit" on this mp3 file to get the load to work as its kinda quiet and some SX240's might not "hear" it too well.
Here ya go. http://www.synthmania.com/sx-240.htm Let me know if you have problems with yours similar to mine. Could it be my battery is dead or has damaged the circuit board??? Thanks in advance. I'll also post direct to your email as well. I sure do hope one thing. That this is a easy and not to expensive fix.
My original cassette tape has long since died and I have been trying to find anyone with a wav file, cd, tape or whatever of the original sounds/patches cassette or someones backup of sounds.
I had to replace my internal memory battery and lost all sounds ):
