The Kawai & Teisco Analog Synths Group

--- In kawai_sx210@yahoogroups.com, "datassette" <datassette@y...> 

Welcome

The kawai sx 210 was my first synth. It has all the elements I believe
make up a great synth. I only lust for an andromida, but am sure i
would be disappointed after the sx 210 and sx 240, so I will wait
until they become real cheap. ha

My sx 210 is stable... my sx 240 has been abused some what but, i am
comfortable in being able to make it stable one day.

A little work and these synthesizers realy produce, anything from
symphony  to rock.

I would hate to lose either keyboard.

the funny stuff may be related to the battery,, so check for leakage
and replace.


love the kawai's
