INTRO: ONE OF THE BEST/CRAZIEST SYNTHS EVER MADE!!! THIS THING IS INSANE!!!!
WE HAVE A LARGE SELECTION OF CARRYING CASES!!!
Hard, soft, large, small…any kind; AT GREAT PRICES!
If interested, please inquire and I will share information, pictures and prices. And if you decided to purchase, I will ship together to save you money on shipping as well.
CONDITION: This MUSICIAN'S DREAM-GEAR is FULLY FUNCTIONAL, and I would say it is in AMAZING cosmetic condition! However, and respectfully, since everyone has different standards; on the cosmetics, please don't take my word for it! I'll let the pictures do the talking. 🙂
SERVICE HISTORY: I am sure that if you are looking at this item, you know everything about it. So, I will first tell you about this particular gem:
IT HAS JUST BEEN FULLY INSPECTED/SERVICED AND IS READY FOR A NEW HOME!
The following services were just done, which cost me over $350! IF you find another one for less than what mine is selling for, and since most of the used ones out there, that are supposed to be "fully functional", turn out NOT to be; you will then need to find someone who would work on these (which is very rare nowadays), and then who knows how much it would cost to make it fully functional??! Especially since these synths are over 20 years old, which means unless they had just been serviced, hardly any of them would be fully functional; and CONDITION IS EVERYTHING!
SERVICES DONE:
- Full inspection
- Load tested for 2 hours
- AfterTouch calibrated
- Key-bed serviced
- Factory reset performed
- All original factory presets re-programmed
- All sliders/knobs serviced
- All switches serviced
- All contacts cleaned
- All buttons serviced
- Cleaned/detailed
PERSONAL OPINION: After trying it on/having fun with it (the best part about what I do with every single synth I get/have 😄), these are my professional insights/opinions about this magnificent machine:
- VIRUS…IT SOUNDS SICK!!!;)
- THE MOST INSANE AND VICIOUS SYNTH EVER!!!
- The sounds are like crystal waters! Soooo very clear…
- Has after touch
- IT IS LIKE A LASER SHOW!!!
- BEYOND WORDS TO DESCRIBE…
- I AM IN LOVE!
- AMAZING EFFECTS/FILTERS
- HUUUUUGE LIBRARY OF PRESETS! OVER A 1000?!!
- SUPERB ARP!
- SUPERB SEMI-WEIGHTED SYNTH ACTION KEY-BED, ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER TRIED!
- TONS AND TONS OF CONTROLS
- Individual and assignable pitch and mod wheels
- 32 voices, 3 oscillators, and 2 independent multi-mode filters!!!
- 2 ADSTR envelopes, 3 LFOs, and 16 Arpeggiators!
- 32-band vocoder, 5 FM synthesis modes, and 16 part multitimbrality
- Expanded modulation matrix with 6 source and 9 destination slots
- Many effects, a 3-band EQ, and an undo/redo function
- IT NEVER STOPS ATTACKING YOU!!!
After playing with it for a bit, I was pretty much speechless... this thing is a BEAST! 😄
Built by a small German company; this beast has a TON of trophies under its name. Some of the biggest/ most famous bands in the industry have used it regularly on-stage and in the studio. Names like DEPECHE MODE and NINE INCH NAILS!
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIDEO; IT'S FUN! 😜
(Please keep in mind that the video is just a generic one from YouTube, and is not made by us, or this particular keyboard. 🙂)

Also, WE RECYCLE / (if possible) RE-USE EVERYTHING, to help reduce our carbon foot-print.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME (Kevin):
I am a 46-year-old, with a degree in Electronics Engineering, who LOVES Synthesizers, sounds, Music, and Electronics in general. Even though I do not work in the Electronics industry; I have always loved/adored it, never separated from it; and as a hobby, I collect and restore them; and sometimes sell them to make room for others...
I've been around Synthesizers for over three decades, have serviced/restored hundreds of them, and have hundreds of the rarest/most sought-after synthesizers/keyboards available for sale. (which is one of the largest selections of used synthesizers found in one place!)
WHY BUY FROM US? (full version)
When you're buying a vintage (or just a used) car, does the condition matter? Of course it does! 😊 Are two used cars that are the same make and model the same? Would all similar (year, make and model) cars sell at the same price? No; there are many factors that would decide what price they fetch. Mileage, body, functionality, extra options, service history, past use... and one of the most important ones is CONDITION, which is everything! That is the reason a factory certified used Mercedes, fetches at least $4000 more, than the one you'd buy from a private seller you find on Craigslist.😊That's why when it comes to buying a used car, price is not everything... And buying a secondhand synthesizer, is no different than purchasing a vintage or used car.
Yes, I'm proud of my children for sure. Mainly because when it comes to used keyboards and synths (just like used cars), condition is EVERYTHING! I have searched hard, hand-picked and collected only the best of the best that are in pristine condition (majority of them); and then had them professionally inspected, serviced/repaired (if needed), reprogrammed/restored (if needed), detailed...
There's definitely value in that. On average, we spend about 5 hours on every single keyboard, before offering it for sale, and if they're not serviced, or if they don't pass the inspection, WE DON’T SELL THEM! We believe in selling ONLY high-quality items, to ensure that our clients are very happy with their purchase, which produces repeats, referrals and customers for life! 😁Not to mention the professional musicians that need to count on their instrument's reliability, as their livelihood depends on it. We have the biggest respect/admiration for the professional musicians, and want them to have peace of mind when they step on the stage…
In contrast, when it comes to USED GEAR FROM OTHER SOURCES, including the major retailers, you'd have to keep your fingers crossed until it arrives... And most often, they are NOT WHAT THEY WERE DESCRIBED TO BE, and most often, there is something wrong with the gear (as I am sure you, just like me, have experienced many times before). And often enough turn into headaches or heartaches...
However, you can rest assured, that if you buy from us, you will get a fully functional gear, and you'll get to see tons of details and pictures, before making up your mind! 🙂
No retailer would service them prior to the sale (they don’t even wipe it down!), as it costs an additional $300-$800 (or more)! Not to mention finding a Synth Tech is extremely difficult/costly nowadays. And that is what we do, as a labor of love! We do this because we really enjoy ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about synthesizers! Buying, selling, fixing, collecting, playing...we just love them! 😍
And finally, CUSTOMER SERVICE, which is also one of the major factors in retail/buying. We try our very best to provide everyone with the best possible service and experience; a fun one! We always stay on top of all communications in a timely manner, even/specially after the sale, which is where most sellers often disappear, or just don't care/reply...
Also, we are a HUGE believer in preserving, not just synthesizers (especially vintage!), but also our planet! So, we recycle EVERYTHING, and re-use as many parts as we can (fully functioning parts from donors), to help reduce our carbon foot-print.
If you've made it this far on this very long scroll 😄, you have our biggest thank you!
