“Akai professional AX60 Synthesizer. Everything works fine. I am no expert but was able to check all the functions that I knew how. Two issues, both are cosmetic. The previous owner leaned it against something and it left marks on the side (see photo) There is a small ding on the back (see photo with arrow) I opened it up to see if the ding effected anything and it did not. Nice machine with tons of features.” Link

“This synthesizer comes just as pictured. This has been tested and seems to be completely functional. There are some cosmetic flaws (burn spots, indicator screens pushed in, tape residue, general use). There is something rattling around inside (like maybe a screw fell out or something). This includes a soft case and is being sold AS-IS. This is a good unit with alot of functions.” Link

“This is an Akai AX 60 six-voice, six-vco analog synthesizer from 1986. I bought it used off ebay about a year ago in the exact same condition it is in now. I’ve barely used it since then and am selling it for something different. The filter on this thing is the real secret weapon; she can wail like a banshee. It can sound extremely heavy in unison mode, especially when sequenced or with the arpeggiator on. It has a small number of surface scratches and a tiny paint chip or two on the edges; you can probably see one in the pictures (that layer of white dust is just remnants of the cloth I used to clean it with). She’s also missing a slider cap for the eg depth level, but you can still manipulate the lever. The only other problem, if it even is one, is switching between eg modes. You may have to either hold down the button, press another button first then the one you want, or it will work perfectly fine the first time you press it. They may just need cleaned underneath. Sound-wise, everything is perfect to my knowledge; I’m not a synth-tech and this is the only analog synth I’ve owned. I have the original manual and the power cord is integrated into the unit” Link

“Akai AX60 in truly EXCELLENT condition. It looks almost new and sounds incredible. You would be hard-pressed to fine one in better shape.
This may be the last TRUE analog synth of the 1980s and is definitely one of the most under-rated synths out there. I say TRUE analog because this baby is voltage controlled. REAL VCOs, none of that glassy-sounding DCO nonsense. ” Link

“I know nothing about these but this is a vintage from about 1987 and seems to be well known. I do not know how to test it but the lights turn on on the board. I would imagine you need to know about hooking it up and all. The plug is attached. I have no other equipment or cords and know nothing. It has some stickers on it and needs a bit of cleaning up.” Link

ax60 “This is a very beautiful and very powerful fat juicy analog synth, i have to let it go because i need the money, I just hope it finds a wonderful home. I am the second owner of this synthesizer. it is in excellent condition. there is some scratches a on the bottom of the synth, and also the cover of the arpeggio light some how came off, this occurred while it was with the original owner. he repaired the cover plastic piece with super glue. there are glue markings around the cover. i have had this machine for 4years and i have never had a problem with it all. i keep it clean and out of harms way. all knobs sliders, pots, filters keys etc are working 100%.” Link

akai_ax602 “This Super Cool Gear was in storage for many years. With any instrument pushing 25 years of age, there are some invetibale age/usage wear: 1) Missing 2 fader caps; 2) Some corrosion on the metal; 3) A chipped “E2″ Key. All of which are purely cosmetic and doesn’t hinder its performnce whatsoever. It has been fired up and all voices are in working condition (though the board does noeed some time to warm up to get up to tune).” Link

ax670 “This keyboard was bought a few years back to be used in studio recording, but we broke up mid way through the actual studio sessions. It has some radical sounds and moog like sounds as well as obscure sounds to turn any project. The best part is, is that it is midi!!!! It is missing one knob, but you can move the function fine with your finger. This is truly an awesome synth for someone who knows how they work and how to use them in a musical environment.” Link

“This auction is for my superb Akai AX 60 analogue synthesizer. This is a reluctant sale to fund the purchase of another instrument.

The Akai comes with a copy of the owner’s manual. It also has a professional keyboard stand, but I don’t think I can ship this so it’s free for anyone who can collect the keyboard. The shipping quote below does NOT include the stand and the stand won’t come with the keyboard if I have to ship.

The Akai is in absolutely superb cosmetic condition and is full functional. I’m not an expert on synths: I’m a piano player and bought this to use in my latest band; however what I really need is a digital piano so this has to go.” Link

“This is a Akai Professional AX60 Programmable Polyphonic Synthesizer with exclusive sampler input / arpeggiator / 4 split mode / stereo chorus / 2 independent EG. All of which I know nothing about as I am not a musician. I hear that it has really good bass. Comes with the Operator’s Manual. This item has been carefully packed away for the last 15 years. There are no dents, dings, scratches, or broken anything. With the exception of one missing slider knob this unit looks like it just came out of the box. Please look at all photos. Stand not included. So, if you have been waiting for an AX60 that doesn’t look like it has been used all to hell, this is your chance. ” Link
