Very nice Synthi AKS. Fully restored and serviced by specialized EMS
tech. Enhanced with some interesting and musical mods which give it even
more worlds of possibilities, these were also serviced and are tested
OK. The KS Keyboard Sequencer also works like it should. This is a
unique synth that is capable of special tones with its special
interface. Not a lab device but a true musical instrument.
Complete with power cable, extra long keyboard cable & banana-pin cables
for the vc Osc shape.
->The Guitar Prestopatch module is also included.
Here's the description of the mods.

column
- Envelope
The switch chooses the envelope response to external gate signals :
transient / off / sustained
The trapezoid pot is an attenuverter : CW is normal signal, CCW is
inverted signal
- Reverb
The pot is a push-pull : when pulled the signal patched to the M column
is disconnected from the reverb mix, amplified and
routed to the minijack socket, the pot sets the output level

The minijack socket in the top left corner is a normalled input to row 1
The green pot in the top left corner is portamento for row 16 (KS
sequencer CV), it has a built-in rotary switch to disable the portamento
