“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

“This particular AX60 had been restored before I got it last year,
Everything works great. There are some blemishes and marks (Wear & Tear). To be expected with a 36 year old keyboard.” 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.

The new OS adds a number of enhancements to the synth. These include:

1) MIDI Sysex patch save and restore – saves or restores all patches in one operation (tape save/load works as before)

2) MIDI CC parameter changes are now supported

3) Non-volatile storage of MIDI channel setting and current patch

4) Slider code modified for smooth potentiometer operation.

5) Adjustable Unison de-tune feature. (Not active in split mode) (can be disabled)

6) Random arpeggiator mode instead of “play all notes” mode (can be disabled)

7) Arpeggiator up/down mode which doesn’t repeat the top and bottom keys (can be disabled)

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.”

“NOT A NEW SYNTH. Yes it works. everything on it works. There are signs of wear. Couple little paint spots on the back of case? not sure if it will come off might be able to rub some paint remover on it or something. Looks like it would come off. Couple scratches on the back. Top left and corner VERY small dent (all pictured) This thing is built like a tank. Solid. All keys work, all sliders all knobs all work. Feel free to shoot me a message. NO RETURNS> sold as-is ANY DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE. used for a long time. Just running out of room and getting out of it. Good sounding synth HUGE resonance. Pitch wheel and mod wheel both work just like they should. Manual comes with it. Plug is original and non damage. Other than a few cosmetics in good shape. PLEASE review pictures carefully as they are part of description. Will be packaged well with LOTS of bubble wrap. Thank YOU. and good luck.”

” 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
