ABOUT Akai did real nice analog synths those days, this one has knobs but 6 voices "only" compared to the AX60..
Cool: special 13pin-connector to feed the Akai samplers (S612, S700, X7000, S900, S950) in as a 2nd VCO!
allows sort FM

ABOUT Akai hat wirklich gute analoge Synthesizer gebaut, hier sehr übersichtlich mit Reglern, kleiner Bruder des AX80.
Cool: Anschluss eines Samplers (S612, S700, X7000, S900, S950) als 2.VCO (spezieller 13-Pol Anschluss) möglich.
Erlaubt eine Art Pseudo-FM "VCO Mod", wie auch der VX90.

DETAILS the AX60 is a quite un-juno'ish" 1-OSCed synthesizer but reminds of junos here and there (not sonically) - the AX60 is the smaller and knobbed 6voices version of the ax80 (8voices).. of course it lacks the cool "kenwood" kind of display but has knobs.. ;) it has 1 LFOs and ENVs dedicated to the filter and each of the 1 VCOs, there is Xmod and a subOSC in there ,too.. also a "roland" type hpf (non dynamic, resonance-less), the first VCO has PWM. if you find an ax60: you might prefer it, because it has sliders instead of the (cool) display bar graph.. split function. both have midi but no SysEx implementation, so no sound dumps. built in 1985/86
AX80 very nice display. Hardware: 6 CEM3394 uP Voice Akai AX-60 uses 2xMN3101 and 2xMN3009 for it's chorus.

THE MANUFACTURER
Kaum einer kenn nicht die berühmte S-Serie Sampler des chinesischen Herstellers mit weissem Rack-Gehäuse, sie waren der Verkaufsschlager der 80er und in wirklich jedem Studio zu finden, wirklich innovativ waren sie aber eher mit der MPC und einigen Synthesizern (AX und VX Serie und speziell dem VX600), jedoch hatten sie beim Verkauf der Synthesizer nicht so viel Erfolg. Gegründed von Masukichi Akai.
