Akai AX-60

“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. ”
