Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Before I post this to craigslist or ebay, I thought someone here might be interested in a good deal on a synth ...
Here are the questions and the answers:
Why am I selling it? I've had this for over 6 months, and I'm following my philosphy that if you don't play it you should sell it.
How'd I get it? A keyboard player friend of my wife's gave it to me to help pay for some work my wife did for them.
How much?
I've seen these go for $500 on ebay, and for $400 on craigs list and they don't include a case. I'm offering it here for $300 firm to an OFC member. If it goes onto to those other sites it'll be what the market will carry and I expect to get those amounts. Pickup only, in Downtown Brooklyn. Or depending on where you live in Northern New Jersey, Rockland or Westchester, I might be able to drop it off or meet you.
It's in excellent condition. It generates all sorts of sounds, including drums, mood pads and acoustic and electric pianos. 32 note polyphony, 16 Track sequencer, General MIDI compatability, 3.5 floppy disc drive for loading/storing data, MIDI in/out/thru, 4 outputs and stereo headphone jack. Headphones not included. Case and power cord are included,along with a basic guide I downloaded from the internet.
More pictures in my gallery
I think the vintage is the late 1990's, but it still makes sounds worthy of the studio or stage.
If interested, PM me.
Thanks for looking. |

| I could use this to run the Roland sub pedals I have. Bettr than the little Micro Korg I have now, and that ain't bad. Great deal here guy's this is not the newest but this has some great sounds. Very Fair price.
I can't do the drive. Not the expense so much, I don't have the time.

Location: Midland, MI | The X2 was an interesting synth, coming after the M1 and before the Trinity (I think). IIRC, it has 76 semi-weighted keys and more outputs than the Trinity. ROM card and PCM cards are available, too, but that's not unusual for pro-grade synths. ;) Going from memory, the sequencer was fairly capable; something like 32,000 notes? Not bad for 90s technology. And the typical Korg pads...why can't anyone do pads like Korg? Yammy gets the pianos, Korg gets the pads.
Not that you asked me, but I think your asking price is quite reasonable, especially with the flight case. More so if it includes a ROM upgrade and any PCM cards. If I were in Brooklyn...nah, my wife would flip if I bought another synth. ;)
Good luck with the sale. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Just to clarify:
The keys are touch sensitive, not semi weighted. As far as I know there's been no ROM upgrade, and PCM cards are not included. The case is for another synth, and you can see in the pics, that I added some polystyrene foam so it's kept secure.
