The synth that you saw was most likely the SX-210. It is similar to thr SX-240 except the paint scheme is different (Gray and White) and the 240 had MIDI, The 210 did not. I have a 210, and it is a rare beast. It is a good synth and I have had no problems with mine. AAMOF, I have made some of the coolest surreal earth sounds with that synth. I will try to put a photo of it on my site in the next few days. http://www.intrlink.com/dep Mike Overacker
