Looking to buy an SX synth

Looking to buy an SX synth

2008-07-28 by antdes45

Hi all,

new member here. I'm interested in getting one of the SX synths, as an
addition to the Kawai XD-5, K4 and K5 synths I already own. 

As I understand, the SX-240 is basically an SX-210 with MIDI and a
different panel, right? Are there other differences? 

And the SX-400, is it a (mostly) fully analog version?

I'd prefer to get an SX-240 because of the (basic) MIDI support, but
if there are cool features I can find on one of the other synths, that
might change.

Cheers,
Antoine

Hi!
It's getting harder to find them now.
SX-240 has 16 DCO's and SX-210 has 8 DCO's
So - it's different machines:)
MIDI on 240 as far as i know support only mono...
And almost every synth needs to be repaired..
Battery change and other things..
But them all - perfect sounding analog synths!
Good luck:)

Hi,

thanks for the information!  No problem if it's broken, as long as I 
don't need impossible to find custom components.
