This one works perfectly, and is in very good condition, since I had it verified by my tech when I bought it long time ago. Exept for some dings and dangs on the wooden sides, the front panel is very, very nice.All keys ( and notes... ) are playing good and smooth ! Sounds great, analog, and is sounding real warm ,  and of course, you can play and mix two of the four sounds together...  ( BRASS-STRINGS-ORGAN-PIANO )
The only one small problem with this keyboard, is the On-Off switch.( See pictures) It is working as it should, but a bit fragile, because it does not move straight  up and down when you use itAnyways, I always used it like this, going slowly and gently when touching it, since it broke last Spring.BUT HERE IS THE SURPRISE...Normally with the Quartet, you can mix two sounds together, and only two....This one is very special, because you can mix three sounds together.... and they all play with all the useful sliders working..!Moreover.. it can even do better.., and play the four sounds together, all at the same time...!  And again, the sliders are there to be used...!!!  All of them!!!I've created superb sounds and recorded numerous soudtracks with this feature... that  at the time, I tought was standard...,  but  a couple of years ago, I did realise that I had a special machine..!I did verify with another Quartet if something was wrong or different sound-like with this synth.., but no... everything is the same..,  but this one gives MORE !   This particularity  is absolutely not changing in any manner the original possibilities of this Quartet, but it was so creative... and permitted me to create so much... I really did lenjoy and love this machine...!  But now is the time for someone else to take care, and have fun with this beautifiul and special synth..,  for I'm moving in my life to something else...If you want to read about all the specs, origins or history of this analog ARP synth, you can easely look on other Quartet keyboards for sale, I do not want to repeat what they all copy and say... But something you will like to see.., is on my pictures!  Even if some are a bit fuzzy.., they are only there to show you that..,  every single of the four sounds has it's leds lighted up, meaning : ready to use.And then, picture no 6... where you can see that, all and every led is on... meaning, you can use every 4 sounds and everything on the synth,   all at the same time.... in whatever combination you like most..!Yours to enjoy now.., and good luck..!You want to see us play with it... go to:   You Tube..,  and look for videos of : Yearsgobyband
