“This Akai AX60 Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer from the 1980s is a vintage gem. It is a keyboard synthesizer that is ideal for musicians and producers who want to achieve that classic 1980s synth sound. The brand Akai is well-known for producing high-quality music equipment, and this model is no exception. With its programmable features, the Akai AX60 allows for endless possibilities when it comes to creating unique and personalized sounds. It is perfect for both beginners and experienced musicians alike, and is a must-have for anyone who wants to achieve that vintage synth sound.
Everything on this synthesizer works, all the sliders and buttons and programmable features. I have tested the audio out for the headphones and left and right mix and those work as well. I don’t have the equipment to test the rest of the inputs or outputs for this synth.
This synthesizer is missing some slider knobs, a stem and knob for one slider, and one of the keys has been chipped, but all of the features of the keyboard work. There is also a small dent in the middle and the wave form led display panel is pushed in. That slouching in has popped up on other models this age and can be repaired. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Akai model AX60 Keyboard Synthesizer – Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer – Analog
Keyboard is in good condition. It has been examined and is working. It has surface marks from being used over time. The previous owner scribbled a name into the back but no surface problems that are impacting performance. A couple of the dials at the top, as you can see in the photo, still slide up and down but have their outermost portions of the knob broken off. Comes with power cords. Connection ports appear in good shape as well. Please see the photos for more detail.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Selling a very well kept and perfectly working Akai AX60. Really clean cosmetically minus some wear and functionally everything works great on this vintage beauty. Much like a Juno 106, but less tamed and more wild. Thanks to its filter and VCO based architecture, this is one unique and true analog synthesizer. While still capable of warm and soft tones, the resonance on this filter is one of the most aggressive I’ve ever heard, and it doesn’t take too much push to get it to sound mean. Really one of the more fun and intuitive analog polysynths to program sounds on.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This item does work, It powers on and I can hear the audio effects through a headset.
However I lack both the knowledge and the equipment to properly test it, so I have no way to properly test its many features. (This item doesn’t include any other cords or connectors, except the power cable of course.)
This is a vintage item, it’s in ok shape for its age, but it does have some condition issues, that show its age. (scratches, scuffs etc) ”

“Up for auction is this Akai AX-60 polyphonic analog synth. It’s in great cosmetic condition. I powered it up and it turns on and makes sound. I only played it briefly through a small practice amp so I can not comment on the quality of sound. I have had this in storage since 2006. The buttons and faders seem to adjust the sound.
This is being sold as is and as shown. Being sold as “For repair or parts” due to my lack of knowledge of the unit and its age.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“PHYSICAL CONDITION: Good – The left side panel has a crack in it towards the front and thus it is slightly loose. There are a few minor abrasions around the synth as well, typical of something this era. Otherwise, every button, knob, fader, and keys are intact and in good clean shape. The overall physical condition is good. WORKING CONDITION: Very Good – All keys play and all functions are working, synth sounds great. Some of the buttons feel a bit sticky but they all work fine. Sliders are all working perfectly so are both wheels. Overall working condition is very good. ”

“Up for sale is our Akai AX60 polysynth upgraded with the essential Tauntek OS.

8) Slow LFO mode which halves the frequency over the entire range of the LFO (can be disabled)
9) VCF resonance slider taper mod to move oscillation point up (overall range is not changed) (can be disabled)
10) ADSR slider tapers mod to increase effect in the lower part (overall range is not changed) (can be disabled)
11) MIDI clocking of arpeggiator with choice of 48,24,12, or 6 PPQ (can be disabled for internal or 1/4″ jack clocking)
12) Sustain mode can be activated using Arp Hold switch
13) MIDI Note velocity added to VCA EG Depth setting mode (but new setting also affects notes played on AX60, can be disabled)
The synth is fully tested and working as it should be. Recently serviced, work included replacing all the front panel tact switches, installing a new memory battery, lubing potentiometers.
Cosmetic condition overall is excellent. There are some marks and blemishes to the panel, the keys are nice clean, side panels in good condition.
The synth is a 100v model so a step down trandformer may be required depending on your location.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Unit powers on and produces sound but 4 of the keys (marked in picture #7 with a white sticker (G#, C#, D, E)) are unresponsive. Middle D# has a bend to the left and middle F# is bent forward but both keys still function. Knobs and sliders all seem to function properly. Comes with a soft gig bag.”

” Sad to be selling the first synth i ever owned but it just doesn’t get used enough to justify keeping it anymore. It is in great working condition, I had it serviced a couple years ago. All tact switches replaced, and calibrated. All voices are working as they should. It’s got a killer filter that has crazy resonance. If you have an Akai S612 you can use the voice in to process that though the filters and envelopes of the AX60. Physically it is in good shape, not shop fresh but in good condition for its 35 years, all keys play fine. I have had it in my smoke free, pet free home studio for the whole time I have owned it.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“After owning this great synth for roughly two years and making some fun noodles, I’m letting go of this rare Akai AX60 vintage analog synthesizer poly-synth. All functions work, all the sliders are there and there are no damages from drops or scratches. Power connection and cable are both in perfect condition with no showing of surge damage. Video below will show sound and function and my peasant level synth programing.
Feel free to make offers or ask for additional photos or videos. Previous owner used 3M wall strips to attach the shown rack knobs. I have not tried to remove them but should come off with a plastic safe solvent. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“For sale is my beloved AKAI AX 60.
I love its analog sound, better than the Junos and Jupiter IMO. Sadly I have no time or skills to service this baby so I guess I’m going digital. All keys, sliders and buttons work, with the following exceptions:
The note sustain on the Envelope Generator seems to be permanently routed to pitch. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s probably a faulty capacitor but as I said I don’t have the knowledge to know which one. The way I used to overcome this was by using a sustain pedal and activating the VCA gate. I recorded a small video to demonstrate this behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYb_Eh4b-MU&feature=youtu.be
It could use new switches on the preset buttons (number 4 on the second row doesn’t work sometimes).
It’s missing two slider knobs.
Aside from that, it’s in good condition. ALL VOICE CHIPS WORK AND STAY IN TUNE. ”
