    Latest acquisition..
    Kinda lusted after one since 1999..
    will be interested to see how it changes my music as I don’t usually use 8bit sounds

    • huh, does that have an actual MOS 6581 chip in it? if so, that's pretty cool.
      looks terrible though! :)

    • i had an early one, wish i'd never sold it. such a characterful synth, the little ghost noises it makes when it's not in use are incredible...kingsteven
    • the SID chip is an incredible piece of design. even though the C64 was 8-bit, the SID is internally 16bit oscillators and analog filter and modulation...kingsteven
    • yeah, actual MOS6581 .. from the look of the manual and everything that came with it I think it was from the 2001 batch .. its pretty gnarlyautoflavour
    • had a quick play yesterday, super raw.. looks like a synth made by hand.. interestingly tho, the angle its on is the exact the same as the Digitone keys,autoflavour
    • which its sitting next to in my studio, so even 20 years apart, elektron paying attention to aesthetics ..autoflavour
    • and yep, kinda noisy kingsteven.. but I guess that's the charm.. I can't wait to have some proper time to play with it.. been so distracted lately with kitchenautoflavour
    • Reno's I have been in the studio like 3-4 times over the past 3 months.. and that was just to work from home.. summer holidays is going to be funautoflavour
    • Did you get it for a good price? Just asking as usually see these for sale for stupid prices but then it drops and drops until someone buys it ;)microkorg
    • it was $900 AUD.. so like 480 pounds or soautoflavour
    • seemed like a good deal.. there is 1 on Reverb currently for $1925 AUDautoflavour
    • yeah thats a really decent price for one. they usually about £700 that they go for but folk advertise them about £1200 toomicrokorg
    • good price, sold mine for more than that in 2004kingsteven
