Vintage Akai AX80 in excellent condition. Great sounds for anyone who's looking for retro 80's Juno-esque tones.


About the AX-80: The Akai AX-80 was released in 1984. It's an eight-voice programmable analog synthesizer with a full 61-note keyboard and a series of techno-looking LCD bar-graph displays running across the top of the keyboard. Two analog oscillators per voice plus a sub oscillator provide the basis of its punchy analog sounds that can be described as similar to a Chroma Polaris or Roland Juno 106. Very good bass, brass, synth sounds, and effects are possible.


About this synth: Small cosmetic tear on the left side panel. Unit was modified in 2018: The technician took out the hard factory connectors 'staples'/'jumpers' (which are prone to breaking and to breaking the circuit boards on which they sit), and replaced them with ribbon cable which allows everything to move just a little bit and prevents damage to the circuit boards. Works excellently.
