as for flaky pins... I've found that a light whetting with some quad-eutectic solder helps to keep the pins from corroding.

I use this stuff where vital conductivity is needed:

Get a Tetra instead.

Yeah, pinch the tip of the stand-off with a pair of needle-nose pliers as you pull the board down. They should snap out partially one at a time. Then you can remove the lower board... The stand-offs stay in the upper board, which is held onto the chassis with screws.

How tunable are the osc's on this, does it go down, aswell as up in semitones? Not exactly sure what you're asking here. The Oscillators are freely tunable, as opposed to switching between footages , if that helps. The tuning knobs have steps in tempered tuning. If you mean semitones as in "microto...

I recommend it again. Akai AX-60. Great, true vco analog fun with sliders for less than $400 easy.

Do a quick google search for "akai ax-60 site:craigslist.org". You should be able to find somebody willing to ship one.

All good info... THANKS!

Ok, now... any "affordable" analog machines do this? Like the MFB or similar?

Hair, did you ever sort yours out? I was wondering how modifiable the OS would be on the AX-60. Like how that guy HAWK did all that extensive work on the Poly-800... I would love to see some simple improvement on the AX-60... like how about Chord-Memory when you hold a chord and hit the Unison butto...

Cool! Like could a Roland TR do this?

What about 7/8? could say a 808 or 909 or whatever do this... it is in fact only one eighth-note shy of 4/4.

What, nobody here knows how to play in anything but 4/4 time?

Like 7/8, 5/4, etc.

Vintage or otherwise.

I just bought myself a Sound Lab Mini-Synth Plus kit from Music From Outer Space...

I also got a Weird Sound Generator kit for my buddy...

Wow! that really sucks.

Did you use Paypal? you might be able to get a refund no?

I guess I bought myself a Prophet 600 a RS-09 a Sennheiser e906 and a Small Stone.

I bought the family new woofers for the Audio Note Js... so we can have a stereo again.

Although I'm not a keyboard player I did check every function thoroughly and the Release and Ensemble (as well as everything else) were were working fine. Hopefully it's minor, just let me know." R...
