[net.music.synth] AX80 Info & Piano Patch/Synth Prices

rsk@pucc-k (Wombat) (11/02/85)

c50-1dk@ucbfranny.BERKELEY.EDU (Andy Lieberman) asked for info on the
AX80; however, neither Usenet or Internet mailers were able to get
my message to him; Andy, if you're reading this, drop me a line
at ucbvax!pur-ee!rsk, and I'll tell ya what I can.

Here's my piano patch for the Akai AX80; it's similar to P-1 and
to Eric Andersen's; I haven't compared them side-by-side yet.
Thanks to Eric for providing the handy-dandy form to do this with.

Lastly, I'd like to take a quick survey of synth prices around the
country; I think it would be interesting to find out where the best
deals are.  If you have a chance, how about sending me the current
retail (no sales, no special deals) prices for some sample pieces
of equipment, say, the

Akai AX80
Chroma Polaris
Ensoniq Mirage
Kawai SX240
Korg DW8000
Korg Poly 800
Oberheim Matrix-6
Roland JX3P
Roland JX8P
Sequential Multi-Trak
Sequential Prophet 2000
Yamaha DX7
Yamaha DX9
Yamaha DX21

	Now, I realize that not all of these critters are available everywhere;
but I'm not looking to create an encyclopedia, just a quick guide to
what's cheap where.  Of course, I will summarize to the felderkarb.
