The Kawai & Teisco Analog Synths Group

Not sure VSE editors know much about the SX anyway. After many years
not having them listed at all on the database, they finally got most
info about the SX-210 from a page I made for it a few years ago.

Telling that "The SX-240 is not as popular or cool as any of the
Roland synthesizers" is bull. The SX240 will bury any alpha Juno right
away.

 and the s240 is written up like its ok but not as good as
others.hummm.I know the 210 sounds a little diffrent but the 240 does
the same and more.So it seems to me a little bias.

ebay.co.uk, ebay.au, ebay.ca, ebay... ... ...ALSO... I mean synth
forums like VSE, etc...

(have had another r-100 and 2 r-50s), 110f, sx-400 (now these ARE
RARE... especially the SX!).... ... ...but honestly, the SX-240 is not
rarer than say, an Akai AX-80, which, although being rare, is not the
rarest thing on (synthesizer) earth, as it turns up every now and then
on eBay.
