For sale is an all original Yamaha KX5 keytar midi controller. Condition is very good +, especially given its age. The metal housing provides a real heft unlike some of the other plastic Roland units of this era (and today). The pitch ribbon condition is also very good. A few light scratches on the back, but nothing severe.
This unit is tested and fully functional. Also includes extremely cool original case and very long blue midi cable. The only item worth noting is the plastic battery holster has a small crack at the end that has been repaired with a piece of tape. It still functions just fine, but you can easily source a replacement holster online if you'd like.
Please feel free to email with any questions. We're happy to reply. ________________
More information from Vintage Synth Explorer:
The KX5 is a 37-note remote MIDI controller with velocity and
aftertouch sensitivity. A ribbon controller is used for pitch and mod
effects. There's also unison, sustain, portamento buttons and a breath controller
input. Up to 64 patches can be accessed via 8 buttons, 4 bank buttons and
the sustain button. With 2 switchable MIDI channels you can control 2 synths
on the fly. None of the buttons or the ribbon control are user-assignable.
