Synths That Time Forgot: The Kawai SX240 and SX210

Kawai Synthesizers aren't necessarily remembered in the same way as Moog, Korg, Roland, etc., but that doesn't make them any less awesome-- Zach Marr is back to check out two very cool vintage analog synthesizers from Kawai (manufactured by Teisco), the SX240 and the SX210. Two very feature-heavy synths with their own voicings and aesthetics... they sound awesome, so why don't they show up as often in the history books? Perhaps they showed up too late in the market, at a time when digital synthesizers were starting to take over. Not to mention, they're hard to find! They're very cool synths, regardless of their underwhelming reputation in the synthesizer world; take a listen and tell us what you think!
