“Cool sounding synth module. got it from an old band mate from the 90’s. memery battery had died, so it had no patches defined. I replaced the battery (non-oem equivalent) and programmed a few patches for demo. you can hear/see the video in this listing.
the original factory program sheet lays it all out. It’s easy but time consuming . about 3 minutes each to program by hand, 64 patches total. there is software out there to try a sysex dump, and cassette tapes available to program that way. but the step by step works also. I only set 3 or 4 of the patches for demo
one missing button cap on the BANK HOLD button, button works fine
The [4] programming button is a little sticky but works when tapped firmly. these units are known for the buttons getting sticky
not a big problem, most all buttons work easily. once you get the hang of the programming it’s easy. just remember to enable the write with the switch on the back, and hit the WRITE button when complete. verify patch after saving bu playing a midi note, or make a simple sequence.
parameters map is right on top of unit and print is in good shape after decades.
square rubber feet missing from bottom
in my opinion it has the authentic 80’s synth vibe the real deal, beats a simulation
including a generic power supply. wired properly WARNING… this old unit from the late 80’s power polarity is opposite of contemporary units it has the + outer, and – inner. use the included supply, or modify a newer one
original printed manual included it covers everything sheet with the factory patches included (very important)” Click here to visit listing on eBay
