    Moving & decided to downsize the studio & have the follow unique synths for
    sale. Unless noted otherwise all are in excellent condition, come with
    factory power supply, all manuals & ship in original box. Except for the
    Wavestation I am the original owner & the equipment has been kept in my
    smoke-free studio.

    Some pictures can be seen at: www.soundforest.com\sale

    Will ship only within the continental USA. Shipping will be UPS ground.
    Payment: I will accept Cashier's Check, Money Order, PayPal or personal
    check (personal check has to clear bank before item will ship)..

    Kawai K5000S: -- $600 + $40 (for shipping)

    Includes the hard-to-find ME1 expansion card. (With the ME-1 you're getting
    two additional storage banks, to the two the K5000s already has...) Great
    stunning sounding additive synth, with arppegiator, lots of control knobs -
    will consider part trade for Kawai K5000r.

    ".Expressiveness/Sounds: 10
    This is the most difficult part of the review. The sounds are simply
    incredible. This is as good as you can hope for from a synthesizer. Assuming
    you use sparing amounts of the PCM waves and jump into the additive and
    morph with both feet(feat), there are very few things the mind can imagine
    that the unit can't deliver."

    EMU Morpheus: $275 + $15 shipping

    Probably the most distinctive sounding module of the EMU line. Many of the
    Z-Plane filters are unique to it. Strange & wonderful

    ".Expressiveness/Sounds: 9
    In a word, gorgeous. I got the Morph for its unsurpassed formant sounds, but
    I've been delighted by a huge range of other first rate electro-oriented
    sounds -- eternally-evolving pads and ambient soundscapes; good sync leads;
    decent EPs and organs; absolutely fabulous techno bleeps, gurgles, hums and
    snarls. And of course every single patch in this box includes filter sweeps
    to die for."

    Korg Wavestation SR $285 + $15 shipping

    This comes with a rare "Ethnic" card set put out for the Korg 03R/W. The SR
    will read the PCM sample card (but not the performance card), there by
    extending the palette of sound possibilities.

    "..Expressiveness/Sounds: 10
    Its all a matter of taste, but I am in love with the wavestation sonic
    pleasures. I dont listen to or use pre-sets. I mangle everything to its
    fullest degree and make it my own. The sounds out of this beast are simply
    other worldly. There is no other synth that comes close. This one is
    unique."

    Emu Audity 2000: $315 + $15 shipping

    The module has never been used. I bought it new just before the move.

    "Expressiveness/Sounds: 10
    well as i said , its firstly capable of all manner of multi lfo /
    weirdness...but waht i really loved about this synth was its waveforms and
    character....sems what you get with these emu racks is really a whole host
    of excellent classic waveforms...i do electronica and olf lfo kind of stuff
    plus plaid / black dog flavour stuff and this machines great for ideas and
    flavour.All in all what you get with all the emu modules is really a great
    sample set in a complex synthesiser.Ive used many many synths over the years
    , many analogues but never found anything which pooled so many classic
    waveofrms together......."
