This synth has never left my studio. In excellent cosmetic condition and working 100%. What you save if you purchase this one is numerous hours of programming, loading, and organizing sounds. I spent several months programming sounds and auditioning libraries created by other programmers, and organized them into a coherent manner, so that quick access (no pun intended) is available. In the pics above you can see  reference charts of Banks A-H (each bank containing 128 excellent sounds), arranged in horizontal rows: If on Banks C-H, you go down the left margin to 6, then horizontally across, you'll find mostly brass sounds. Once you've stepped through sounds 60 - 69 in bank C, then start over at 60 in D and the brass sounds continue. Likewise, the 70s row contain the string sounds. The first 4 rows (from #00 to 39) contain arpeggios and are indicated with an "A"  in the lower right hand corner of the box on the reference chart.Banks A & B  consist of volatile memory that is lost when the battery dies. I just changed the battery, and loaded banks A & B from my computer using Midi-Ox and  a Midiman Midisport interface. You can overwrite any of the 256 patches in these 2 banks with your new sound creations. Banks C-H consist of non-volatile memory, and survive battery replacement. The patches in these 6 banks can be overwritten, but only by loading a sysex file (similar to how I loaded A & B.) I would recommend backing up all 1024 sounds (128 patches x 8 banks) as a sysex file to your computer. You will need a USB-Midi interface to store and load this data, and to back up new sounds from banks A & B.  Most synthesizers I have purchased over the years have contained mostly junk sounds apart from any factory presets. This synth is an exception. The best sounds (in my opinion) have been loaded into banks C-H. Banks A & B do contain a lot of good sounds, but this is the area where you can experiment, and store your own patches. A#79 is the only blank, labeled "init sound." I've provided a blank A & B bank reference chart for scribing and keeping track of new sounds. Upon request, I can email  the MS Word e-file that I used for creating the reference charts. I'll also throw in a midi cable. Also include are the owner's manual &OS4.9 addendum, and visual instructions on how to open the synth to change the battery. Free shipping within the continental U. S.
