I have to admit I lauged when Axel-F started playing. Great demo again!
What's the melody that comes in @ 28 seconds? I definitely know it, just driving me mad trying to remember where it's from.

Love the bass patch at the beginning. The kickdrum is brilliant too (edit: oops, just saw the kick came from an Oberheim. Still cool.)

Jan Hammer's "Crockett's Theme" from Miami Vice the album "Lackan110f plays electronica hits" ;)

I don't like the drums, but the drums like me!

Another nice demo with another rare Teisco. It sounds great that SX-400. Let me know if you plan to sell it! ;)

LOL :) Yes, its Jan Hammer, Crocket's Theme. I thought I'd use the best tracks from the 80's to demo this beast of the 80's.

@antilles: They are pretty rare, especially since they have that NiCad that eats up the main PCB... Mine had battery issues that (I hope) I have cured, but still I only can save on 6 of the 8 memory patches, so there's still some issues I'm afraid...

So finding one in 100% working order is extremely hard I would say, and if you do - check that main computer PCB so it doesn't look like a Gorgonzola. But its a great synth, in function it is very similar to the JP4. But I haven't compared them side by side so I can't comment on wether they sound alike as well.

If you find one - buy it fast! :)

PS: And no, mine is not for sale...
