Vintage Synth Explorer

I've had this board since the late 80's as well. I've updated my home studio equipment I don't know how many times, but this board has been sitting right there in the loop. The 300 additional sounds on the library card are very useful patches. I did a couple of local CD projects using primarily the sounds on this board. Now I use it as a MIDI controller, but when I just can't find that sound I'm looking for, I'll plug a patch cord into it and go to work. Manipulating the existing sounds is very easy using the Performance Editor functions, and creating new sounds is just as easy. I don't plan on ever replacing it.

best synthesizer for glitching.
period.

Bought one new in 1987-88. Great for gigs. Sounds are FM like, and found it easier to program than the DX21/DX7. Nice strat guitar, bell, vibes, leads like sounds possible. Unison mode is fat. FX add liveliness to the sounds. Also managed to get sone nice pads out of thisd as well. Keyb feel was excellent.
Also has a multi mode to later sounds easily (up to 4 if I am not mistaken). You can assign polyphony between the layered sounds.
It lasted through 14 years of intensive gigs (80-100 per year), lasted through several flights and flight cases. The joystick is easily pushed in (if you dont have a metal case), but fixable. Its a workhorse of a keyboard - changed battery on the card once.

Ive had one of these for 19 years,and i used it as a master controller for years, cause the internal sounds just wouldnt sit well in a mix. I then got creative, programmed a load of patches on it, shoved it through some pedals/fx and voila...instant scoring heaven. Ill never get rid of it, simply cause it sounds like NOTHING ELSE.

Thanks Pepe...I have a pc that should work with what was on the midi-ox site...
