Nice collection! The Prophet 600 is pretty cool. Which you probably already know, it's 6 voice polyphonic with 2 VCO's per voice. Each VCO has switches for saw,tri,pulse which can all be used in any combination. Plus all the other features, there are limitless possibilities. More importantly it really sounds great! Has very good midi impl. and I can save my patches with midiquest or sounddiver. I've been getting rid of all synths that lack knobs or easy access to parameters. No time for menus anymore, and I don't want to stare at a computer screen for hours using editors like midiquest. One exception is the MKS-70. Love the sound too much. Hopefully I can get a hold of the pg-800 controller which I stupidly sold a couple years ago.

Something a little different happens to me. I use a hardware sequencer as a master to slave the 240.while I switch between sqeuences 1-16 as I switch between them it seems the midi is lower in volume .then the keys are.This only happens when I end one seq and start another.If I have two or three seq playing at once (we all know the sx recives on all channels)there is no volume change.maybe its not even my sx maybe it has to do with the sequencer.Speaking of I never got to the sequencer on the sx yet maybe ill try that out this weekend.I had my sx about a year now and when I got it was blank.so all the spaces for patches I filled with my own untill last weekend I finaly loaded the presets after I saved my custom patches to wav.and made sure I could reload them on the sx. I realy like this synth to and the only reason i was thinking of trading it was just a momment of not thinking.lol. I have a great love for synths.I was offered a juno106 mint for my sx but passed it up.The sx is amazing,synths im using now

I currently have a Chroma Polaris, SCI Prophet 600, Roland MKS-70, Akai AX60, Casio CZ5000, Roland M-SE1, and Korg Poly800.
