Here s a bit of trivia for you.....did you know there was an arcade game in the mid 80s that had a real 6 ch 100% analog synth for sound? It was the Bally

Guys you re making me want a SX240 in my collection ! I always wanted to get more power from my 210 ;)

I just got a good deal on a Juno 6 (waiting for it to arrive), so I m holding off on the sx240 for a little while, or until I feel like I really need midi.

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

I was thinking something very similar to Sergio. What ist this big exitment about sx240 all about? Or even more bluntly: Why not get a juno 106 for that prize?
