Superb info! thanks..

Upon reearch, it appears another varient exists:



from Siel Synthesizers Website

So basically, the Opera 6, DK-600 and KIWI are all an evolution of the same basic design, with more features, different design and reliability.

(also rebadged as Velocity 6, and sold by Sci!!)
