I bought this in the late 80's to piss off our lead guitarist who was a notorious hotdog! I had my CZ 1000, FB-01, and DX-7 racked. I bought this thing new at a liquidator for $20! I had a custom 40ft MIDI cable made. I used to sing "What I Like About You" by the Romantics. It of course, as what sounds like a Harp solo in the middle which was mine. I grew tired of being chained behind my keys, and having our guitarist playing on the dance floor hustling the good lookin' babes. I had hidden my SHS-10 and when the solo came round, I hopped off the stage and he suddenly found me standing next to him on the dance floor. He about crapped his pants!! It was worth every cent for that look! It sounded fine as I had it MIDI'd into my regular boards. I still have it. I can't believe these things are going for $100! It is like when I nearly tossed out my Roland TR-808 a year ago in the garbage can. I looked on eBay and about shit! I took that in and had it all gone through! Anyway, I have found memoroies of my SHS-10. I eventually met my wife while out on the floor playing a solo! She was dancing with some geek. She thought I was obnoxious. She married me anyway LOL!

Never mind the sounds, use it as a MIDI controller. If it didn't have MIDI it WOULD be a toddler toy, like those colorful little keyboards with huge buttons and kid song demos.

This is the stupidest item I have ever purchased! Give me a break! I was looking for a KEYTAR on ebay, not a stinking toy, made for my 3 year old nephew. Yeah it's cool... if you think loking lke a total dousche on stage is cool. The sounds are horrible, the color scheme sucks, am the only person who might be able to use it sucessfully without hitting like 5 keys with one finger would be a toddler. Yeah this thing is a great buy... for a mentally chalenged midget!!!! I'll go spend the money on something worh it like a roland axis or a casio az. You can keep you stupid, useless, crappy, toddler styled shs.
P.S. NOOOOOOOOO chick would ever dig a tool playing an shs... If you think this keytar rules, you should check yourself into the mental hospital.

I have one of these. I like it especially running my Oberhiem Matrix 1000 tone module through it.
However, I'm having problems getting any sounds out of it. What could be wrong? Is it worht the money to spend to get it repaired?
I am also looking for a copy of the owners manual so if any of you are willing to photocopy and send it to me, I would appreciate it.
Please e-mail me at sirced99@aol.co OR sirced99@yahoomail.com with your details and shipping requirements.
I used to have a KX-5 keytar but I sold it a few years ago. I like the expression controls on the handle and the fact that such a cheap keyboard was equiped with MIDI.
The most useful voices I've been able to do anything with are: 00-Synth, 10-Elec. Piano, 12-Vibraphone, 24-Woood bass, 32-Horn, and 40-Flute. Having pitch bend, vibrato, Portamento, and Sustain readily available at the left hand is great! Transposing and tuning buttons are useful for bass sounds.
Not a bad deal overall... as has been said already... it looks cool. But use it with a tone module for the best results
