I also managed to obtain a standard keyboard DK2, and a Pitch to Voltager converter unit. and finally I'm still trying to obtain a copy of Sounds for the Synthi A, but these are very rare.

Most users of the Synthi A and KS keyboard, don't realise that the keyboard should be removed from the inside of the carrying case lid, and then mounted on the outside of the lid, even David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) has made this mistake, as shown on the video/DVD "Making of The Dark Side of the Moon".

The original AKS was supplied with a neat metal folding stand, and a plastic extension stick for the jostick controller, these are usually lost, as they get separated from the AKS, as there was nowhere to store these bits inside the Synthi briefcase.

I now have a modest collection of what I think were the best analogue synth's ever made, Minimoog, EMS AKS and ARP 2600 (Orange Faced with 3620 keyboard).

I'm in the process of making a 24 step 3 channel analogue sequencer, to run the ARP 2600 with.

This one I remember was reasonable stable, but Oscillator stability wasn't what these beasts were about, much more was the flexiblity of the modulation possibilities, with a 16 by 16 matrix patch board, the sound generation was mind blowing.

I made several tapes, for my own use, I sold it along with a DK Mk2 real keyboard, and bought a Commodore Pet 2000 Computer, I still miss the unit, and hopefully will be able to buy another unit soon! I do still own and play a Minimoog Model D, and a set of Taurus Mk1 Bass Pedals, but analogue is the only sound I like.
