WTB decent /cheapish synths,

xmrchi

Erm yeah as above, analogue or digi, just not the home organ casio/yamaha types, what ya got and what's your best price? I don't have a load of money but happy to pay reasonable amounts :-)

robwright

I've got a Korg X5 and a Korg Triton LE - are they the kind of thing you are looking for?

Also have some great quirky 80's keys (Casio and Yamaha but the ones that are now regarded as decent early synths).

xmrchi

Oh you have some good stuff there, pm me with prices condition etc :-) @robwright

robwright

I reckon £220 for the Triton and £150 for the X5D

Both are in good used condition. The Triton has some scratches on the top where the previous owner has tried to remove a sticker (there are much easier ways than scratching them off!).

Both sound great - the X5D is more 'old school', the Triton is a feature-laden beast!

@robwright, Hi again I have done some research on the two, they're a bit to keyboard/workstation for me , im hoping more for true synths like Novation, bassstation,/mininova types.

But am very interested in what early ones you have??

blobb

Seek out a KS rack and a midi controller keyboard. knob twiddling ahoy PS - not selling mine!

@blobb looks good, and yes you should sell yours!

wayneirie

Have a look at the Arturia stuff mini brute and micro brute. Both excellent I have the mini brute. A lot of synth for the money. Mines not for sale.

xmrchi

@wayneirie Love the Arturia stuff, and know it well, would just rther buy from on here than fleabay

robwright

The old ones are:
Casio MT40 £80
Yamaha PC1000 £30
Yamaha PSS-570 £30

The Casio is quite sought after - great for quirky sounds and bass lines.

The PSS is good for messing around with sounds - the 'Digital Synthesizer' section lets you create custom weird sounds

Probably a tenner each for delivery but if you want all three, you can have them for £120 delivered.

xmrchi

@robwright does the Casio have the orignal Case by any chance?

robwright

Unfortunately not

robwright

Just checked ebay prices and as there are a couple of knobs and switch caps missing on the MT40, I'm going to sell it for £50.

xmrchi

@robwright is that Inc postage?

robwright

£55 posted?

xmrchi

Sounds good ill have it, pm me.

robwright

Cool
