Great find!

Post by basic303 » Sat Nov 14, 2009 4:57 am

Just found a guitar store that was selling a Multivox MX202 String Machine for $300, but it had a broken key so I talked 'em down to $230, then while browsing their store I found they were also selling a Electrix Warp Factory Vocoder for $200, told 'em I was also interested in that, and they offered me the pair for $360. Put 'em an lay-away as I'm waiting on a check, but I feel great about this find.

Nice! We have one in the studio. It's pretty much a Roland RS-202 anyway, which makes it way cool. Multivox were known for doing clone jobs.
I like vintage synths....

Congrats on the purchase!

If you want the full story on the MX-202, check out this article:

Multivox has ripped off Roland and other companies in many of their designs, but also made some of their own.
